Publisher Description

Every so often a character so captures the hearts and imaginations of readers that he seems to take on a life of his own long after the final page is turned. For such a character, one book is not enough—readers must know what happens next. Now Dean Koontz returns with the novel his fans have been demanding. With the emotional power and sheer storytelling artistry that are his trademarks, Koontz takes up once more the story of a unique young hero and an eccentric little town in a tale that is equal parts suspense and terror, adventure and mystery—and altogether irresistibly odd.

We’re all a little odd beneath the surface. He’s the most unlikely hero you’ll ever meet—an ordinary guy with a modest job you might never look at twice. But there’s so much more to any of us than meets the eye—and that goes triple for Odd Thomas. For Odd lives always between two worlds in the small desert town of Pico Mundo, where the heroic and the harrowing are everyday events. Odd never asked to communicate with the dead—it’s something that just happened. But as the unofficial goodwill ambassador between our world and theirs, he’s got a duty to do the right thing. That’s the way Odd sees it and that’s why he’s won hearts on both sides of the divide between life and death.

A childhood friend of Odd’s has disappeared. The worst is feared. But as Odd applies his unique talents to the task of finding the missing person, he discovers something worse than a dead body, encounters an enemy of exceptional cunning, and spirals into a vortex of terror. Once again Odd will stand against our worst fears. Around him will gather new allies and old, some living and some not. For in the battle to come, there can be no innocent bystanders, and every sacrifice can tip the balance between despair and hope. Whether you’re meeting Odd Thomas for the first time or he’s already an old friend, you’ll be led on an unforgettable journey through a world of terror, wonder and delight—to a revelation that can change your life. And you can have no better guide than Odd Thomas.

    " Well, I finally finished all the odd thomas books that are out. Not in order so much but still a delectable series full of fun, adventure, and the constent ramblings of the Odd one. Can't wait for the next book. Anyone heard of when it will be released? Any info will be much appreciated. "

    " I enjoyed this second entry into Odd Thomas' world. I didn't like it as well as "Brother Odd" or the original: it was considerably more graphic then either, and this is what usually turns me off of the horror genera anyway. But it was a good story with good suspense and everything. "

    " Book 2 in the Odd Thomas series. Again, Koontz could condense much of his writing and have the same good story....but he loves to go on weird tangents that literally I just skip to get to the next paragraph or page where the story continues. Makes reading this series quite fast! This time Odd is immediately pulled into a murder & the kidnapping of one of his friends. Odd heads out on his own to rescue his friend and encounters a c-r-a-z-y evil group. Ghosts galore and action packed I enjoyed the book. "

    " I really loved Odd Thomas, I loved the characters and the story. In Forever Odd, we have most of the same characters but the story is not as good. I feel like nothing really happens in this book and the foe Datura comes out of left field to serve what purpose? Odd suffers yet another near death experience and an innocent person dies....pretty much like the first one. I love Dean Koontz and have read most of his books but this one was not a favorite. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " An interesting enough story, and pretty well narrated. Koontz is clearly a sucker for a larger-than-life villain--mediocre wickedness is not enough for him. His villains must plumb the very depths of evil. Still, it passed the time on the drive home, which I appreciated. "

    " Once again, Koontz gave some horrible charactors life. I found this story a bit slow and predictable. Odd Thomas himself is still very likeable though. "

    " Wandering around in the sewers with a guy who sees ghosts, oh and... well, no spoilers. Still Odd and still helping those poor souls with unfinished business. Not the best stories Koontz has ever done but far from the worst. Pretty good. Definitely readable. "
