Odd Thomas and Forever Odd are great books. Koontz just put out a third: Brother Odd. Still in hard cover and kind of expensive, but I bought it anyway. I use Borders like a libary a lot - I'll buy a hard cover, read it and return it for the cash or get another hard cover and repeat the process. Fear Nothing and Seize the Night are also good reads, and like the Odd books are about the same character. Most of Koontz's earlier books are straight up thrillers with some horror mixed in, while his later books contain a uplifting message about life and death, and how (mostly) ordinary people deal with extrodinary events. He can sometimes be boarderline religious (in a nondenominational way) preachy, but I don't think he's trying to convert anyone...just trying to let everyone know they should be a little nicer.

Oh yeah, and he used to be pretty damn bald and sport a cheesy porn star mustache way back when, but know he's wearing a wig. It was right about the time he changed his appearence that he changed his writing style. Just something to think about.

I love Koontz, but the Odd Thomas series is terrible! It's annoying! I read the first two and that was enough for me. Besides the great ending of Odd Thomas it was a drag. The second one was pointless...

Am I the only person to find Koontz repetitive? Many of his writings follow the same structure. It is rather annoying, as stated.

Some of his newer books really surprised me. "Life Expantancy" is a really, really great book.
