Thoroughly enjoyed this Odd Thomas book more than the second which felt like swimming through paint. This was a much better read, better paced story with the occasional diversionary of excess descriptions. All seems a bit much in reality, but isnt that half the fun. Very much looking forward to the next book.

Well, guess it doesn't get better and Dean Koontz still hasn't either.

This book i've had the hardest time getting into it. Every time i put it down takes me weeks to pick it back up and then i'm still lost...may start over as soon as i'm done with "The Host" by Stephanie Meyer. Maybe then I can get it done within a few days as it's so short.

I finially finished this stinkin book! It took me forever and when it was over it wasn't like I was satisfied with the ending it just kind of ended...eh well dont think i'll ever read this again.

About half-way through I started to get really into the book. It was more unexpected but I enjoyed the change. Odd seems to be continuously growing as a character. I am very interested to see what happens in the next book since he was clearly being pulled towards something.

I really likes this book and what it had to say about faith and science. this is a topic dear to me. my main issue was the climax wasn't really a climax. but the book was good and thought provoking nonetheless.

A wonderful new series from Dean Koontz - not horror, but it makes you think. And Odd Thomas is a very likable character.

I have enjoyed the previous two in this series and looked forward to this one. However, this one has such a fractured storyline that i struggled to make sense of it. It feels like the author has inserted humour into the narrative to the detriment of the story.

The villain for this was extremely predictable, and some the humor didn't work for me as much as the other books. However, I did still enjoy the way Odd goes about things a lot, and the way he seems to endear himself to others. It was lovely to see Elvis finally get some closure.
