Rendition In Favor Of Books Odd Hours (Odd Thomas #4)
Only a handful of fictional characters are recognized by first name alone. Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas is one such literary hero who has come alive in listeners' imaginations as he explores the greatest mysteries of this world and the next with his inimitable wit, heart, and quiet gallantry.Now Koontz follows Odd as he is irresistibly drawn onward, to a destiny he cannot imagine. The legend began in the obscure little town of Pico Mundo. A fry cook named Odd was rumored to have the extraordinary ability to communicate with the dead. Through tragedy and triumph, exhilaration and heartbreak, word of Odd Thomas' gifts filtered far beyond Pico Mundo, attracting unforgettable new friends - and enemies of implacable evil. With great gifts comes the responsibility to meet great challenges. But no mere human being was ever meant to face the darkness that now stalks the world - not even one as oddly special as Odd Thomas.
After grappling with the very essence of reality itself, after finding the veil separating him from his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn, tantalizingly thin yet impenetrable, Odd longed only to return to a life of quiet anonymity with his two otherworldly sidekicks - his dog, Boo, and a new companion, one of the few who might rival his old pal Elvis. But a true hero, however humble, must persevere.
Haunted by dreams of an all-encompassing red tide, Odd is pulled inexorably to the sea, to a small California coastal town where nothing is as it seems. Now the forces arrayed against him have both official sanction and an infinitely more sinister authority...and in this dark night of the soul, dawn will come only after the most shattering revelations of all.

Im sorry but this was truly awful. Not just Koontzs worst Odd book but one of his worst, period. Im struggling to think of any redeeming feature.For starters the pace of the book was all wrong seemingly going slow slow quick slow slow. This is because very little actually happens in the first 300 pages and the reader is presented with overly long descriptive narrative and Odd Thomas philosophy. The plot itself was like something the production team of 24 rejected and throwing in a supernaturalI really enjoyed this one although as much as I wanted to give it five stars but just couldn't because of a few things. The character Annamara bugged me, and I was totally bummed by the ending. Also there was this one scene were OT was stuck under a pier for like 20 pages and I all but literally screamed at the book to just get out from under the pier already.All that being said, I love Koontz books and his writing. I love the way he describes things and the way he writes in general and this for
Another great read by Dean Koontz.
Odd Thomas and his current ghostly companion,Frank Sinatra take on the latest baddies. This time though, the end game has global implications. I enjoyed this installment as much or maybe even a little more than the previous ones. Odd Thomas and his unique life view has become a favorite of mine. I can forgive if the plot line drags a bit here and there. And yes, the pace is a bit rushed.(The whole book takes place over twenty four hours). But I love the pithy grace under extreme pressure. And
