allimae 's review for:

Odd Interlude by Dean Koontz

3.0

---

"She says that each of us has his or her role in life, and if we know ourselves well enough to understand what that role is, we will be happy doing nothing else but what we can do best...She tells Jolie that I am one of those wanderers of legend, who goes where he feels he must and, in the going, finds those who need him, and in finding those who need him, fulfills his destiny. This sounds more grand to me than the truth of my life, but this touch of myth enchants the girl and mellows her sadness with mystery."

Koontz's writing is excellent, and I love reading Odd Thomas' perspective. It always inspires me to be more hopeful than I feel.
