Two more Odd Thomas novels that were OK

Odd Hours (Odd Thomas #4) by Dean Koontz

Odd Apocalypse (Odd Thomas #5) by Dean Koontz

June 12, 2022 by kfishgirl Leave a Comment

OK, so I made it to book 4 of the Odd Thomas series.  I don’t know.  I really liked the first book.  Each subsequent book gets weirder and weirder though.  And don’t get me wrong, I’m ok with weird.  It’s almost like each book tries to out-weird the one before it though.  We meet AnnaMaria too, and she’s just a lot.  She’s supposed to be this super charismatic, charming person.  To me she just read as annoyingly vague?  Nothing she said made sense or really […]

A new series to fill the Harry Bosch shaped hole in my heart

Odd Thomas (Odd Thomas #1) by Dean Koontz

Anyway, like my title states, I needed a new series!!  I’ve read EVERY AVAILABLE HARRY BOSCH book, so I need a new mystery solving man in my life.  Odd Thomas is […]

A Fry Cook With Heart

Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz

July 12, 2019 by Classic 2 Comments

I was in the mood for a long cry so I read this book. Yes, I know how that sounds, but it’s true. I first read Odd Thomas back in 2003 when it was first published. I had just moved to DC and was reeling from having to move after just burying my mother the month before. So reading this book I had no idea what was coming. Dean Koontz at that time was a comfort read for me. I loved to read his books […]
