Product Description: “Meet a young man named Odd . . . who helps the dead get even."
From the infinite imagination of #1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz comes the suspenseful graphic-novel debut of a natural-born hero with a supernatural twist.
Odd Thomas is a regular nineteen-year-old with an unusual gift: the ability to see the lingering spirits of the dead. To Odd, it’s not such a big deal. And most folks in sleepy Pico Mundo, California, are much more interested in the irresistible pancakes Odd whips up at the local diner. Still, communing with the dead can be useful. Because while some spirits only want a little company . . . others want justice.
When the sad specter of a very frightened boy finds its way to him, Odd vows to root out the evil suddenly infecting the sunny streets of Pico Mundo. But even with his exceptional ability–plus the local police and his pistol-packing girlfriend, Stormy, backing him–is Odd any match for a faceless stalker who’s always a step ahead . . . and determined to kill again?
Warning Odd is addicting If you start to read Koontz's Odd Thomas novels, I warn you, it is addicting and you can not wait until the next one is published. There are 4 novels in this saga and each is just as good. They kind of build on each other, but can be read in any order. They leave you feeling good about humanity and that in itself makes them worthwhile. Enjoy.
Koontz not best work I guess it's my fault that I did not read the description. It is a very short comic book and took all of 15 minutes to read. The illustrations while good does not make this worth the cost.
It's a comic book. I can't imagine what Dean Koontz was thinking. In Odd We Trust is a comic book. However, I received the book in a timely manner and in perfect condition.
This was my 1st ODD Read I did enjoy this, it was different, it made you think, and parts made you sad.
Didn't know it was styled like a comic book,never would have bought it In Odd We Trust It wasn't even newer..no real new adventure like i n past Hard cover books..we're back in Pico Mundo. The illustrations make the book difficult to read and I will make sure I look at every book I order in the future..never expected Mr Koontz to pull something like this
