Another Odd Thomas book which quickly sucks you in and retains your attention. The setting changes to a small beach town, which is one of Koontz' familial backgrounds. It is a good easy read.

I always look forward to the Odd Thomas books, the first one just blew me away. The ones thereafter, not so much.
Odd Hours is a pretty decent book, although not as emotional as the first one. I don't want to give away any major plot lines so I'll be all nice and vague. Odd Thomas was drawn to Magic Beach after living in the monastery (Brother Odd). Elvis is gone, Frank Sinatra is with him. And Boo, the ghost dog, is still by his side. Odd has taken a job as a cook for an old actor living on the beach. Odd has dreams, he meets a woman, he's chased by maniac killers. He needs to save the world!
Memories of Stormy are pretty prevalent through the book and several times my eyes teared up. This was a pretty good book, not as good as the first book, although I thought it was a little bit slow in the beginning. Once it picked up, the book was pretty hard to put down. The ending was....unresolved. So now I have the next Odd Thomas book to look forward to!

This book was not what I have come to expect from OT in a bad way. There was nothing supernatural or mysterious about it. I feel like Koonyz had to reach a page quota; so much if the book was unnecessary. We didn't get to spend enough time with the best characters. I am thinking this story wasahing groundwork of what is to come, but I could not wait to be finished.

I just love this series. The baddies were a bit farfetched, but the way the story is written is quite enchanting.
It was a good book, but I had troubles getting into it and troubles sticking with it -- it took me a while to read.
