Odd Hours by Dean Koontz (2008)

As a longtime fan of Dean Koontz and "Odd Thomas" I was not dissappionted by Odd Hours. As with the other 3 Odd books, Odd Hours is full of action, humor, tight spots, and a really dark times. I'm curious to see where Annamaria fits in with Odd, as she is a special person also. I loved this book, and can't wait to see what Dean and Odd have in store for us next

Dean Koontz weaves a story that is impossible to put down. This was no exception. This is a lovable character walking through a life that is unparralled in it's experiences and the characters that he meets. Masterful.

I love the first book it is a must read but it seems that he is finding stories that well aren't as suspenseful as the first couple of books. I truly like the character but this book was not as good as the others.

This was great to get a new book at such good price. I was also very happy with the timely way it was shipped. Total convenience.

Odd takes a new kind of direction. Same loveable Odd but he seems to mature and add new characters to supplement his on going adventures.

This fourth book in Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas line is excellent as are the first four. If you love Dean Koontz and/or Steven King, this is an excellent series of books to read and very entertaining.

I am a huge fan of the Odd series and this book is no exemption. I thought the book was a very fast read and kept me entertained and it was very suspensful. They was more than a few topics that were left in the dark. That is more than likely for the next book, but it was kind of disappointing. I read a few reviews before purchasing that totally trashed the book and I fully do not agree with those reviews. I will not ever trash a book in the Odd series and Dean Koontz is an excellent author. Go out and ready ODD HOURS. It will keep you interetained.

Having read the entire odd series, I felt thist one was the most lacking. It was really slow getting started and just didn't have anything that kept me coming back for more. It lacked suspense. Sadly it was almost difficult to get though the entire thing. I expected more ghosts and paranormal talk. A disappointment to the series.

great transaction...this was exactly as advertised and I was completely satisfied. I am looking forward to reading this book on vacation.

I love the item because my husband really enjoyed it, he finished in a matter of 3 days!!
I decided to buy it because my husband is a fan of the author & has many, many of his books.

i am a big fan of koontz and of the odd thomas books if you are into them then you will love this just like the others except there is something alot different SPOILER STOP NOW it dosnt end like others its going to be the first page of next book he has brought in a new character and hasnt really explained her yet but he did mention wryvern and mystery train any koontz fans will know what this could mean enjoy i did i couldnt put it down

In Odd Hours, as with the previous three Odd Thomas books, Odd is still tripping along with Boo and the Chairman of the Board.

I was pleasantly surprised when this fourth book in the series was announced and even more excited when I finally got it and started to devour it. My only problem with this book, as well as the other three, is that I just cannot get enough of the main character, his adventures and his lost love, Stormy.

This addition to the Odd Thomas series will not disappoint the fans of the previous three books. In addition, I am sure that this will not be the last of the Odd Thomas series. Too many readers have come to love Odd with his unique talents as well as his adventures. The readers who continue with this series by reading Odd Hours will be just as pleased with it as with the others in the series. This is one of Dean Koontz' books that will keep you on the edge of your seat and pleading for more.

"YOU ARE DESTINED TO BE TOGETHER FOREVER."

Odd Hours is the fourth novel in the wonderful series of Odd Thomas. Written by, in my personal opinion - most definately the greatest author I can imagine, Dean Koontz. His fictional character Odd Thomas, is just brilliant. Absolutely superb. I am taken to another world whenever I read a book by Dean Koontz, and this particular novel Odd Hours, has definately stood up to it's reputation. I loved it as always with anything written by a truly genius author.
thankyou to you Mr Dean Koontz. And please, dont ever stop writing fiction, I would be lost without it.

Dean Koontz is one of the best Suspense/Intrigue authors, in my book. I have read many of his books & whenever I start on one of them, I just can't put it down 'til I've finished it.

Dean says that Odd's story is a 'gift'...I am not sure that he entirely sees that it's not just a gift to HIM. For those of us out there in this world, trying to do the right thing, against overwhelming odds, (Hah!) carrying our own burdens of griefs, losses and betrayals...the Odd One's adventures are a breath of fresh air, and an infusion of strength and courage! This series is a triumph. I will grieve when it ends, as Koontz now assures us it will, but will hope that this author will be inspired in this way again, when he puts Odd away. I am a social worker, with 'spiritual gifts' and understand, to some extent, what this character struggles with, though not to his extreme. It never ceases to amaze me how Mr. Koontz 'gets it right' with characters like this. The motivations, the reactions, the myriad of tiny details that so many authors miss, or blow completely, he not only sees, but remains consistent with from start to finish. If someone allowed me lunch with one famous person in my lifetime, I would pick Mr. Koontz. His book, "The Face" to me was one of the most masterful books ever written....but Odd is as endearing to me as a brother. Thank you, Dean Koontz, for allowing this gift to flow through you to all of us that needed him...and thanks to your 'inspirer"!

I continue to enjoy this series. I am not sure you'd understand this book without reading the first three. New captivating characters are fun/impactful/intriguing - and the ending seems to ensure we'll get another book featuring Odd (hurray). If you have enjoyed the past three - you'll enjoy this one as well.

Odd Thomas is back in another excellent page turner. His ability to speak with the dead continues to invade his life and peace. The blood red tide is the next problem in his unusual life. This is standard Koontz, a page turner with an excellent plot line. A must have for the Koontz fan.

This book and the series is great... you definitely can't put it down (page turner). Dean Koontz writes the best books, I was so pleased when he came out with another Odd Thomas book. You should definitely put this on your "to read" lists.
