Book Reviews of Odd Hours: An Odd Thomas Novel
Book Review: 4th & Weakest of the Odd Thomas Series
Summary: 2 Stars
Odd Thomas has to be one of the most likable characters created by Dean Koontz or any other author for that matter. Unfortunately, it seems Odd may have run his course & the series is out of steam.
Mr. Koontz has in the past number of years changed his writing style, which is not a problem. He's still excellent. As weak as this book is, the writing is still top notch.
The problem for me arises from a very improbable story line & some characters that are so underdeveloped one wonders why they were included in the book.
Picture, if you will, Odd out of his fry cook element in Pico Mundo, Ca. He now is charged with saving four U.S. cities from nuclear holocausts from a handful of madmen. Odd, of course, saves the day. Preposterous compared to the first three novels which were all good.
If one had not read this series in order, he/she would be greatly lost reading this book.
Sadly it does leave Odd Thomas open for a 5th book. Mr. Koontz, I beg of you, please retire Odd Thomas after this travesty. This book does not do your literary talent any justice at all.
