In the latest Odd Thomas adventure, we find our protagonist where he left off from the last book, at a monestary seeking solice. It is shortlived, however, when Odd starts seeing Bodachs increasing in number salivating form the inevetability of a good ol massacre. This time, Odd faces a new kind of enemy. I won't say what but it's really interesting and very original. Brother Odd isn't as fast paced as the first or as profound as the second but it's just as witty and finds it's niche quite nicely. If your a fan of the series, you'll definately enjoy this book.

I was introduced to Odd Thomas through this novel and after reading it I had to go back and read the beginning 2 Odd Thomas novels.

If you love a good mystery with a hint of comedy and plenty of drama you will enjoy this book. Koontz brings back some of the old favorite characters and introduces you to his regular batch of misfits and irregular personalities.

I was compelled from beginning to end. A great book for Odd fans. A good book for anyone who enjoys a mystical dram-ady.

Have been facinated with the odd series, since I read a snip it of Odd Thomas in a Maxum Magazine. I had to have it. Have been waiting since August for the release of Brother Odd. Pre-ordered as soon as I could, and recieved in Friday Dec. 1 at 4pm. Finished the book at 12:00pm. Couldn't put it down. Now I wait for the next one!!!!

I'm an avid DK fan and really enjoyed the previous Odd Thomas books. Brother Odd was very disappointing though! I found it very slow, the characters felt disjointed and not as "real" as they have been in other Koontz books. The story was very slow to get started and once it got good, it was over.

I hope the next Odd Thomas book is better than this one or it will be my last of the series.

DISAPPOINTING!! I can`t believe this book has received 5 stars so far. Have these people not read Dean Koontz before? Not up to Dean Koontz standards. Story was slow, boring, repetitious. A little sci-fi at the end. A very dull book. Struggled to finish it. And I've read every Dean Koontz book. I usually love this guy's work. His earlier works are still best, ie, Dark Rivers of the Heart, Tic Tock, His first two Odd Thomas books were very good, but this one was a waste of time. Get it from the library, don't buy it.
