Additional Odd Hours Information

Only a handful of fictional characters are recognized by first name alone. Dean Koontz’s Odd Thomas is one of those rare literary heroes who have come alive in readers’ imaginations as he explores the greatest mysteries of this world and the next with his inimitable wit, heart, and quiet gallantry. Now Koontz follows Odd as he is irresistibly drawn onward to a destiny he cannot imagine and to undreamed of places where the perils he will face and the stakes for which he fights will eclipse all that he has known.

The legend began in the obscure little town of Pico Mundo. A fry cook named Odd was rumored to have the extraordinary ability to communicate with the dead. Through tragedy and triumph, exhilaration and heartbreak, word of Odd Thomas’s gifts filtered far beyond Pico Mundo, attracting unforgettable new friends—and enemies of implacable evil. With great gifts comes the responsibility to meet great challenges. But no mere human being was ever meant to face the darkness that now stalks the world—not even one as oddly special as Odd Thomas.

After grappling with the very essence of reality itself, after finding the veil that separates him from his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn, tantalizingly thin yet impenetrable, Odd longed only to return to a life of quiet anonymity with his two otherworldly sidekicks—his dog Boo and a new companion, one of the few who might rival his old pal Elvis. But a true hero, however humble, must persevere. Haunted by dreams of an all-encompassing red tide, Odd is pulled inexorably to the sea, to a small California coastal town where nothing is as it seems. Now the forces arrayed against him have both official sanction and an infinitely more sinister authority…and in this dark night of the soul dawn will come only after the most shattering revelations of all.

Burnishing Dean Koontz’s stature as a master of suspense and one of our most innovative and gifted storytellers, Odd Hours illuminates a legacy of mystery and hope that will shine on long after the final page.

What Customers Say About Odd Hours:

You'll want to read this book from cover to cover, so give yourself plenty of undisturbed time for a marvelous read.

Also, the cover art and size of this paperback doesn't match the others in the series so I'll have to buy another to match and do something else with this one. I just wasn't into this book as much as I was in the other 3. Odd is still his charming fry-cook self, but the mysterious fog adding to the concepts make the story a little too surreal.

I think I am going to go back and read the first, second and third books. I have a short attention span. The story was interestingly weird. I grabbed this book on a road trip to the beach. I liked it, no problem reading this one first, quick read for beach, waiting rooms and vacations. I had no idea it was a series until about 60 seconds ago. It was a quick read. It was crazy, jumped right into the story, no long build ups and chapters about the setting and characters~~I love this.

And that ending left me feeling kind of empty. But like I just said, great, or just plain good.with those first two sentences, I was expecting great. We'll see. Don't think so.

And just like that, I was hooked. Maybe that will be Koontz's definition of great. IT'S ONLY LIFE. WE ALL GET THROUGH IT. Oh well, I'd rather read something good by Koontz anytime. And to trust somebody like the sheriff.

I can't wait for the next adventure with Odd. But Annamarie trusts Odd, and that's all that counts, right. So don't get in his way. Koontz made sure that this was moving right along, just enough to make sure it had the ending it deserved. As soon as Odd takes off on a walk, his adventure begins. Whether you're a cop, or a coyote, do not get in the way of Odd Thomas.Pumpkin cookies might spice this up a bit, but that doesn't make it great. The first two sentences of Koontz's latest Odd adventure, ODD HOURS.

Flirting with chaos, and dancing with disaster, Odd is out to save the world. Nope, but Odd has had something like a dream, and it ain't pretty. Whether he's great, or just plain good, Dean Koontz always has the ability to grab your attention. Is this a dream.

Even when faced with situations that could have some agonizing over the answers Odd just seems to grasp the necessities as they are and deals with it. His simple view of life is so wonderfully uncomplicated that I envy him his outlook on life. I wonder where the ending of this story will lead to since it was left wide open. Odd just gets better as it goes along. At first I was luke warm to this character but with each book he has grown on me.
