I started to feel that the overall premise of the novels needed to get a bit shaken up and that having Odd explain things using 20 words when one word would started to work my nerves instead of charming me like it had in the past. However, by the time I got around to reading Odd Hours I started to get a bit disenchanted with our awesome fry cook. Finally, it seemed to me that Koontz had managed to write something totally different, heart wrenching, with depth, that did not just quickly resolve itself like his other novels. I remember getting to the ending and ugly cried for about half an hour. At that time I stated to become a bit irritated with Dean Koontz's writing and was ready to write off that novel but I quickly fell in love with everyone. When I first read Odd Thomas I totally fell in love with the character of Odd, Stormy, Chief Porter, and all the inhabitants of Pico Mundo. For anyone that is contemplating reading this novel, you need to start with Odd Thomas: An Odd Thomas Novel, Forever Odd: An Odd Thomas Novel, Brother Odd: An Odd Thomas Novel, Odd Hours: An Odd Thomas Novel, and Odd Apocalypse: An Odd Thomas Novel. I have been reading the Odd Thomas series for about a decade now.
