A review by heiditighe
In Odd We Trust (Graphic Novel) by Dean Koontz
3.0
I Had to Read this Book Because--Hello--It's Odd Thomas
I stumbled across this book at a friend's house. Although I generally don't like graphic novels, once I realized there were more stories in the Oddoverse, I had to read this one. The story is solid. Evil, crafty villain; heroic Odd; fun, gun-packing Stormy. I even laughed a few times, which was nice. I can't speak to the quality of the illustrations because I know nothing about graphic novels, but I could tell what was going on in the pictures, which hasn't always been the case with other graphic novels I've looked at. I considered that a serious plus.
If this story had been presented in Koontz' delicious prose, I would have given it a five, as I did the other Odd Thomas books. The three indicates not that the book is mediocre, but that the best response I'm ever likely to have to a graphic novel is liking it, as I generally dislike the genre. The fact that this book got a three is high praise coming from me, so if you like graphic novels or Odd Thomas, I think you'd enjoy this book. I'm gong to read the other two, and I expect I'll like them as well.
