This series is definitely going downhill. I still like Odd Thomas, but I felt no real connection to any of the other characters in this book and the plot was rather blah. Sadly I was happy when this one was over and hope that this is the end of the series

I've listened to Audible.com unabridged recordings for all of the Odd Thomas books. This fourth book is every bit as good as the previous ones. I have to say that Odd Thomas is one of my favorite fictional characters. Not only does Dean Koontz tell an amazing story by David Aaron Baker is the perfect narrator for them. I can't express enough how much I enjoyed the Odd Thomas books.

I just... I love Odd Thomas. His reaction to having to commit any sort of violence is not what mine is. Perhaps it's all the books I've read prior, but I don't mind violence when it's called for. Odd, in contrast, understands that sometimes violence is necessary in order to prevent greater violence in the future, but he hates it when he is the one who ends up having to commit that violence. It tears him up inside, even if he knows there was no other way.
His soul is so good, and he's always trying to do the right thing and... gah! I just love him. Because he's not, like, self-righteous or anything. He doesn't think himself better than anybody else because of the way he views the world. It's simply that doing what is right, is the right thing to do, and when his sixth sense calls him in a direction so he can do those things, he's going to do them. Even if he wishes that burden would fall to someone else.
I love him. I can't wait to get into the next book. This one definitely ended on a bigger cliffhanger than others have before. This particular story is ended, that much we get. But more so than the others, at the end of this one, we know something big is still coming. He has no idea what that is, but he knows he's heading towards it more firmly now than he has in any previous book.
I've been renting these books from the library, but I think I'm just going to have to buy them all. I need them on my bookshelf.

Oh Odd One... I absolutely LOVED this roller coaster of a deadly adventure Odd finds himself in. Once again he's the unlikely hero and literally runs into the face of danger to literally save the world. A new character pops in that is as odd as Odd is, Annamaria, and she holds a key to his future that isn't yet revealed yet. With Annamaria by his side, his ghost dog, his new golden retreaver, and Frank Sinatra, we go into the next adventure and I'm sure another book filled with jaw dropping twists!

There are 4 books in this series
1. Odd Thomas
2. Forever Odd
3. Brother Odd
4. Odd Hours
The main character is Odd Thomas, he is one of my favorite characters. You have to read these in order, Brother Odd was my least favorite and Odd Hours was my favorite.
