So far this is my least favorite installment of the Odd Chronicles. The writing style as always is impeccable but I just couldn't get behind Annamaria. The rest of the story was fantastic and in certain ways reminded me of Fear Nothing(which is my favorite Koontz book by far) but Annamaria was just to cryptic. Maybe its my cynicism that shines through here but I just can't take on faith that she is all she is cracked up to be. I'm still waiting for her to turn and be crazy and the reason behind the entire United States being blown up. Hopefully the next installment will shine some light on what she is and why she matters but so far I'm not impressed "All things in there time" sounds like a good line but it seems to me she's just hiding secrets. I loved the book just not that Annamaria was the driving force behind Odd's decisions. 3 stars because well its a Koontz book and even if I don't like the characters the writing is always amazing!
Good book, definitely not as good as the rest. It was fast, then slow, then fast again, but mostly slow and inside Odd's head. I don't think enough was explained about the plot - it could've gone at lot further and a lot deeper.
I'd recommend it if you've read the rest of the books, but otherwise, don't bother. It's not a good standalone book.

I love the character Odd Thomas, but this book was a little anticlimactic and very little was explained in the end so I was left feeling frustrated.
I really like this series. I would give every book 5 stars except the action is sometimes a little dragged out. All the events in this book take place within a few days. I got frustrated, especially in the early chapters, because it seemed like things could be resolved quicker. It took me over a week to get off the pier! Maybe if I was reading these all in one sitting I’d feel differently. Anyway, I’ll definitely finish the series & enjoy it, just wanted to vent my little nitpick.
Ugh. Im about to give up on this series. The first book? Amazing. Everything that has followed has been just painful.
Odd is a likeable character, and the banter between him and the villains, especially at the end, is so clever and funny. I was disappointed by the lack of urgency and motion in the plot. The intense parts weren't even remotely intense. Not my favorite Odd book.
Against advice (sorry Heather) I read this one without having read 2 & 3. I love the character and the dialogue that Koontz writes. The conversations between Odd * the Sherrif are hilarious.
Of all of the Odd Thomas books, this was the weirdest and my least favorite.
A much improved edition into the "Odd Thomas" series. While I thought the fast paced nature was annoying and somewhat lazy in terms of writing a narrative, the action was fantastic.
