Odd Hours by Dean Koontz
4.0
I had forgotten how very much I love Odd Thomas, his straight-faced humor, and his personal life philosophy. It only took a couple of pages for me to remember what a great character he is.
The story is honestly kind of more of the same--Odd is trying to stop the bad guys before they can hurt a lot of people. But the little town of Magic Beach is shrouded in fog and that made it all so much more atmospheric. And really it's supposed to be taking place in one evening/night, but in my mind, it was all taking place in the afternoon. Whatever.
Odd gets to meet some more eccentric, lovely characters and there's a pretty big setup for the next in the series. I'm not sure where he's going with this, but, as the mysterious Annamaria would say, "All things in their time."
Two things did stand out to me: the word Polterfrank cracked me up every time I read it, and there were NO BODACHS!!!!! YAY!!!!!! Man, those things creep me out. I was glad they didn't show up this time.
I thought this was slightly better than the previous, [b:Brother Odd|14996|Brother Odd (Odd Thomas Novel, Book 3)|Dean Koontz|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166669293s/14996.jpg|944261], and I will definitely continue on with the series.
