As the story opens Odd encounters a little girl, who seems perfectly normal except that she can't speak. Koontz's idea of a small town is a population of forty thousand, which really small town people like me regard with amusement, but never mind. In the best "strange characters in a small town" fashion, Odd is surrounded by the unique occupants of Pico Mundo, California. To demonstrate whether I liked it: I've already finished the first sequel, Forever Odd. I was late to the party: There are six Odd Thomas books and a movie version of this one, dating back fifteen years. Then came Odd Thomas, which kept me enraptured in a "do I really need to sleep? Do I have sick days available at work?" kind of way. The first I liked the second I didn't much care for. I've seldom read his books, and had no real opinion about them, one way or another. My adventure came when my wife brought home a stack of used Koontz novels. ![]()
