Odd Apocalypse by Dean Koontz

4.0

---

This was not my favorite in the Odd Thomas series... perhaps it's been too long since I read a Dean Koontz book, but it took me entirely too long to get into the writing style. I usually love Odd's quirky narration, but it struck me as trying too hard in this novel. I can appreciate saying things in unconventional ways, especially where curses are involved, but it gets old when he censors himself every single time.
Other than that, it was a typical Odd Thomas story. Quick paced, strange, and no rules. I miss the more realistic world that Odd lived in where bad guys were actual people. Isn't enough that he sees ghosts? Do we have to go into a whole new league of supernatural story lines and plot twists? (I remember thinking the same thing in Brother Odd.)
Overall a nice addition to the series. I'm interested to see where this all goes, since Odd hints at a very clear end to things.
