As expected, the story went in an unexpected direction. Bonus point for Tesla. ;)

Although this book was good, it was my least favorite of the Odd books. I think part of the problem with my enjoyment of this book was my inability to visualize some of what Koontz was describing. However, it did keep me interested and, at times, on the edge of my seat.

I was a huge Odd Thomas fan when the series began. The first two books were great. The supporting characters in Pico Mundo really helped the novel. I was disappointed when the settings moved out of Pico Mundo. It seems like all the books after book 2 are just written to keep the Odd Thomas series going. I think, when another Odd Thomas book comes out, I won't read it.

Odd Apocalypse was a disappointment.I liked the first one in the series, tolerated the next two, but the last two have just been more of the same, no originality, tension, or suspense. Just Odd doing essentially the same thing in a different setting. About a third of the way throughmth book, I couldn't stand it any more, skipped to the last few pages just to see if the end would be as predictable as I thought (it was) and then closed the book.
I had high hope for this Odd novel, since over the last few years Koontz' books have not held my interest as they once did, but it does seem that, for me, one of may favorite novelists has lost his appeal.

more preachy. more wierd. i want to finish the series, but it's becoming a slog rather than a romp.
