 2008-08-26 - worst odd thomas book yet dean koontz really stunk it up
i am really surprised by some of the reviews i am reading on amazon and on the internet in general for "odd hours" because in my opinion this was the worst odd thomas book the first scene in the book took about 65 agonizing pages to get through (this is coming from a huge odd thomas/dean koontz fan i loved the first book, the second wasn't bad but not the best and the third was phenomenal) i was really surprised by that because in the first book the first scene was great and i couldn't wait the read the rest of the book because it was fast paced and full of action, it felt like this book wasn't really written by dean koontz but some sort of ghost writer impersonating him. the ending left a lot to be desired and left alot of unanswered questions, i understand that he wanted to leave it open for another book but seriously he needed to answer the important questions about the new female character that he added - does she have some sort of psychic power and if so what? as a reader i was left with the impression she had some sort of psychic talent but dean koontz never offically said she did, i don't like that i have to make am assumption on a vital part of who she is, i didn't like that the cover of the book made it seem like stormy was an integral part of the book **whether that was his fault or the fault of some publisher i don't know** but it was deceiving and it was a major let down when she was mentioned only a few times at the end and it was never explained why she was mentioned and how the new female knew about her and what she had to do with anything it was like she was mentioned to mention her and not real purpose...these are a few of the many things wrong with this book
i didn't like it and have talked with others who agree with me i feel like i wasted my money and should have just checked it out from a library **although after that i would have felt like i wasted my time** i hope this helps someone and that maybe there are a few people who agree with my rant =)
 2008-08-24 - Not Great, Not Bad
Not one of the better Odd novels (Brother odd was my favorite so far). Worth buying in paperback or checking it out from the library. I will say the banter between Odd and the retired movie star cracked me up!
 2008-08-21 - Just plow through the first few chapters
I've read all the Odd Thomas books and loved them; just finished Odd Hours last night. The first few chapters after the first 2 were tedious ~~ too much hide and seek wore me out ~~ but get through those chapters and the rest of the book is great Odd Thomas stuff all the way!
 2008-08-20 - I Guess I'll wait for the FIFTH one...
O.K., I absolutely LOVED the first three books in the Odd Thomas Series & I was so excited to discover there was a fourth...however, before I decided to actually purchase this book, I noticed the review section and noticed A LOT of poor reviews. I KNOW I'll STILL read this book, but I'm going to wait to read and buy it until I have the FIFTH one in my hands also. THAT way, it won't be such a dissapointment if all the unanswered questions will get answered in the next one, right?
2008-08-20 - Disappointing the entire way through
I have been such a huge Dean Koontz fan throughout the years and this has to be hands down the worse Odd Thomas book so far, the reading was tedious and not enjoyable the story lagged on and when usually he catches my attention and I'm reading the entire night through I had to force myself to finish this book. I thought surely the ending would make up for the lack of storyline but I was wrong
