Not long after Odd Thomas became a hero in the town of Pico Mundo by taking down a sniper at the local mall with plans of blowing it sky-high, Odd finds himself once again helping out both the living and dead. His best friend, Danny, who suffers from brittle bone disease, is missing from his home where he lived with his adoptive father, Dr. Wilbur Jessup. Dr. Jessup had only minutes before arrived at Odd's apartment seeming to appeal for help--he was, like so many people who drift in and out of Odd's life--no longer alive in the real world. He had been murdered, and now Danny is missing. Odd sets off to find his missing friend, using his "physic magnetism", as he calls it, and finds a woman who is so desperate to experience supernatural activities that she'll use Danny as a pawn to get what she wants. With the same cast of characters from ODD THOMAS--Ollie, the overweight novelist; Terri, Odd's employer and friend; Chief Porter, the town's police head; Terrible Chester, Ollie's cat; and the ghost of Elvis--Odd is set upon another adventure that contains murder, mayhem, and one bad-a** evil woman. This continuation of one of Koontz's best characters is a true winner. I read the book in one day, and I'm left with wanting to know where Odd will go from here. After the death of his beloved fiancee, Stormy, the previous August, Odd has been slightly adrift--and at the end of FOREVER ODD, we get some indication of where his life is leading, but not a clear-cut picture. Definitely another winner by the incomparable Mr. Koontz, FOREVER ODD is not a story to be missed.

The entire series is very good overall. One of the few stories where the plot has not been heard or hashed and re-hashed to everyone on the planet.

As the series goes on, the books are losing their luster.

Second in the Odd Thomas series. Odd Thomas, now 21 years old, can still communicate with the dead, except for his beloved Stormy who has moved on. Elvis stays close, as do Odd's living friends, P. Oswald Boone, a morbidly obese writer of detective novels and the Chief of Police. The story opens when the ghost of Dr. Wilbur Jessup leads Odd to his home. Odd finds the body of Dr. Jessup, but his son, Danny, is missing. Danny is Odd's best friend and he has brittle bone syndrome. Odd suspects Danny's biological father of the murder and kidnapping and uses another of his talents, which he calls psychic magnetism, to locate Danny. When Odd finds Danny, he discovers an altogether more sinister plot than he ever imagined.

Superb read. Odd Thomas has to be one of the best literary characters for many a year. I hear they're making them into films. cant wait. Koontz's previous stories havent gone down well as films - this/these should prove the exception. Fabulous stuff
