Brother Odd Odd Thomas Dean Koontz Books

Of the 6 Odd Thomas books I've read so far, this is my favorite. My 16 year-old daughter and I listen to the audio book in the car on our local commutes and savor every word. The character Odd is uncharacteristically wholesome. He has character, manners and charm, is thoughtful, considerate, respectful and decidedly human. How he deals with the adversity is admirable. Yes, there are long reflections on all manner of matters philosophical, and these books are not action packed. Yet Koontz has a way of building suspense that make these page turners. The supporting cast of characters are colorful to say the least and contribute significantly to the ambiance of the story. In this book, the Russian baker is superbly well drawn. The cat and mouse dialog between him and Odd are among the most satisfying parts of the book.

Some of the bad things that happen in the Odd Thomas books are discribed in disturbing detail, not so much in this book as in say, Odd Apocalypse, so you may need to assess whether you would let your young adult read these. However, given that these books are generally devoid of obscene language and gratuitous sex and violence, I'd say the scales tip in favor of Odd Thomas.

Brother Odd Odd Thomas Dean Koontz Books Reviews

Wow. I can't believe I'm giving this author two stars, but there it is. I came into the Odd Thomas series with a bit of a chip on my shoulder in the first place because I really hate reading serials. I'm the kind of person who feels like if I read the first story in a series and it didn't suck too bad I'm going to feel compelled to move on to the next (with the exception of Fifty Shades Of Grey; please don't even get me started on that - even now I still can't believe I bought into that hype). That's exactly what happened with me and Odd Thomas. The first two books in the series raised enough of my interest to make me read the third and now I'm just wondering what the hell I just read.

There must be a lot of Elvis fans out there (yes, I did just say that) because I just can't see why this is a bestseller. Odd Thomas is a truly unique and likeable character, but I'm just not in love with all of the dry humor in what is supposed to be a suspense novel - speaking of which, there is a noticeable lack of the aforementioned in this third novel, Brother Odd.

My particular beef with this one when I was at least able to give the other two the came before it three and four-star ratings was the agonizingly slow progression of the story. It took way to long to get to the goods in this one. And the so-called goods wasn't even that good compared to the threats he helped thwart in the past. As a matter of fact, the problem I had in this book was similar to the problem I had with 77 Shadow Street and its that the source of the threat was hard to mentally comprehend.

Odd himself admits difficulty putting the beings he's confronted by in words, but its a bit annoying as a reader when you can't create a mental picture of the entities or creatures being described. Besides that, you don't find out what is what until the final seventy percentile or last hundred or so pages of the story. There is no true climax with the source of the threat being dismantled with pathetic ease and, frankly, when you look at the final count, it makes you wonder if there was ever any danger at all.

I'm sorry, but this one didn't cut it for me. I liked Forever Odd - I found that one suspenseful. This one, not so much. If Odd Hours bores me the way this one did, I'm probably going to call it quits with Oddie.
I've been wanting to read this one for a while and waited for it to be on kindle. This is a story about an unusual young man who sees spirits and dead people. I have read most of them. They are all wonderful. I love Dean Koontz' style of writing. He lays on the spookiness, but doesn't overload the graphic violence. In this one, the young man in question (Odd Thomas by name), goes to a monastery to rest after his last adventure. This doesn't last long. The Bodachs are back hovering around the children who live at the monastery and that are cared for by the nuns who live there. Bodachs are dark spirits of the dead who feed off violence that is impending. Odd has to stop this from happening even though he doesn't know what is going to happen or where it will come from. There is also an order of monks there who live in one part of the monastery. Odd enlists their help including that of a rather colorful character by the name of Brother Salvatore--a former Mafia enforcer who only broke legs--never killed anyone. Odd calls him Brother Knuckles for obvious reasons. When the even finally begins to happen, and the monsters come out, Odd is right where he's supposed to be--fighting off evil and defending the monastery and it's inhabitants. Great story.
