I was very pleasantly surprised to realize Odd Thomas was not like most of the books I have previously read by Dean Koontz. I enjoy this author's works so much because he is a true master at creating characters that I, as the reader, am able to assume identity with. How refreshing to find that I, a 45-year-old female, could identify with a 20-year-old male.I can't wait to find out how Odd Thomas gets through life.
