Odd Hours by Dean Koontz (2008)

Like the other Odd Thomas books, the story line in Odd Hours moves so quickly that it is difficult to put the book down- I read it in three days. Mr. Koontz does not use spirits who have yet to move on this time but instead Odd has to exclusively deal with the living this time out. Yet Mr. Koontz manages once again to weave as much mystery around the characters as ever. I enjoyed Odd Thomas and Brother Odd more because there was more humor and the author dwelt less on the villains than he does in Odd Hours. Nevertheless, it is a worthwhile read, even with the blatant ploy for a sequel.

Odd Hours is nowhere near as good as the first two books in this series. It actually is worse than the third offering in the series. I was a fan of the first two Odd Thomas books. I felt the third was all right. This most recent book in the series totally let me down. Possibly the worst Koontz book that I've read.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and was thrilled that I received the book so fast. Dean Koontz is one of my favorite authors. Should this seller have more I'd be happy to purchase the ones I don't have from him.
