In Odd We Trust (Graphic Novel) by Dean Koontz
2.0
This is my second attempt at Koontz or third, I can't be sure. This one reminded me a little of the first I'd read. It had a regular guy who didn't want to be famous, doesn't want to live in a big city, or anything but possesses a gift. In this case he can see ghosts. There is a girl, she's pretty and tough. They been together for a few years I think. The only reason they haven't gotten married is because something in Stormy's past still prevents her.
The illustrations surprised me because it looks like animae; though my knowledge in graphic novels, comics, manga, and the like is very limited.
The whole 'we are one' thing between him and his girlfriend kind of sounded strange. I've heard of soul mates and stuff which I can understand it to an extent but in this graphic novel I just couldn't get a sense for it. I could maybe chalk it all up to having only limited amount of air time for the couple I guess.
The mystery itself was interesting I guess but I still didn't feel any suspense in it. I kind of felt like it was just saying this is what happened, and then this is what happened, etc. Although I did get a small sense of the characters' personalities I couldn’t really feel for them at all. My view of the characters is very apathetic.
I just wasn't invested at all. If I wasn't having a lazy day I might not have finished it at all. Usually I don't finish a book I would give 2 stars but it really was just okay for me.y
