Meet Odd Thomas, the unassuming young hero of Dean Koontz’s dazzling New York Times bestseller, a gallant sentinel at the crossroads of life and death who offers up his heart in these pages and will forever capture yours. “The dead don’t talk. I don’t know why.” But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant. Sometimes the … reluctant confidant. Sometimes the silent souls who seek out Odd want justice. Occasionally their otherworldly tips help him prevent a crime. But this time it’s different.
A stranger comes to Pico Mundo, accompanied by a horde of hyena-like shades who herald an imminent catastrophe. Aided by his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn, and an unlikely community of allies that includes the King of Rock ’n’ Roll, Odd will race against time to thwart the gathering evil. His account of these shattering hours, in which past and present, fate and destiny, converge, is a testament by which to live—an unforgettable fable for our time destined to rank among Dean Koontz’s most enduring works.

I’ve read the whole series from Dean Koonts, my 2Nd favorite author, Stephen King, being the king. I would recomend this book to anyone, a 5 star read.
Odd is one of the most original characters to cross my path. If you read one of his stories, you are going to want to read the entire series.

The start of a compelling series. After loving this first book of the series, I read each of the sequels as soon as they came out.
I loved it! This series is one of Dean Koontz best!
Odd Thomas is strange, scary, romantic, sad, weird, and magical all at the same time. I love the book series so much I’m afraid to see the show because I don’t want them to have changed a single thing.
Dean Koontz is an AWESOME writer! Never read anything by him that I didn’t like.
Fantastic Book with Exceptional writing. Character Development is enlightening.
