NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Loop me in, odd one. The words, spoken in the deep of night by a sleeping child, chill the young man watching over her. For this was a favorite phrase of Stormy Llewellyn, his lost love. In the haunted halls of the isolated monastery where he had sought peace, Odd Thomas is stalking spirits of an infinitely darker nature. As he steadfastly journeys toward his mysterious destiny, Odd Thomas has established himself as one of the most beloved and unique fictional heroes of our time. Now, wielding all the power and magic of a master storyteller at the pinnacle of his craft, Dean Koontz follows Odd into a singular new world where he hopes to make a fresh beginning—but where he will meet an adversary as old and inexorable as time itself.

Each book that Dean Koontz has written since the publication of From the Corner of His Eye in 2000 has had a rather unique message within it that deals with the powers of love and compassion that human beings are capable of showing to each other. I should also add that dogs are included in this equation, too. A dog will offer everything it has to its human master just for a pat on the head and a belly rub. So, yeah, dogs have to be included, too. I know that Trixie would agree with this assessment. What all of this means is that Mr. Koontz not only wants to give his readers a well-written novel filled with strong, believable characters and edge-of-your-seat, spine-tingling suspense, but also a sense that there's hope for humanity and that we have it within ourselves to persevere against evil and to bring justice and love to our world. None of Mr. Koontz's fictional characters have represented this more clearly than Odd Thomas, a young fry cook from a small California desert town who has the ability to see the dead and to know when disaster is going to strike. When I think of Odd Thomas, the image of the actor, Elijah Wood, comes to mind with his sad eyes and hopeful smile. You see, having the gift of second "sight" isn't all it's cracked up to be. There's no fame and fortune for Odd Thomas. He's a young man who's lost the only woman he ever loved (I still hold this against the author), and he has only a handful of close friends who know of his power and who try to protect him within their own ability. But, as Odd knows, there's no hiding from Death and the evil that often lurks beside it. Though he's only one person, he does the best he can at trying to help others and to bring a little goodness into our world, especially with his fluffy pancakes. In the third book of the series, Brother Odd, the journey continues for our haunted soul as he seeks refuge within a monastery located in the High Sierra Mountains of California. All he wants to do is regroup and to find a little piece in his life after all he's had to endure during the past eighteen months (read Odd Thomas and Forever Odd). Life, however, has the knack of throwing you a curve ball when you least expect it. This is what happens to Odd when he unexpectedly sees the dark, sinister entities that he calls bodachs, hovering around the special children who live at the monastery. From previous experience, Odd knows that bodachs represent both coming death and disaster. The only questions for him are when and from what direction the disaster will approach from. Odd doesn't know how long he has in order to prepare an adequate defense, but it's his intention to do everything within his power to save the children and the other people who live at the monastery. This time, however, he's going to need more than strength and intuition to fight the evil incarnate that's hidden outside of the monastery in the blinding snowstorm. He's going to need help, but who to turn to and how much to tell them will create almost as many problems as the frightening monsters that are out in the snowstorm eagerly awaiting for them. Like the first two novels in the series, Brother Odd was a sheer pleasure to read. It was not only filled with suspense and horror, but also with humor and insight into the nature of reality. Can science ever truly know God, or is this something that has to be taken on faith alone? Such are the questions that arise within this brilliantly written novel. Mr. Koontz definitely has an interest in quantum mechanics and the duality of order and chaos in our Universe, and he touches on this within the scope of the story. What really triggered my curiosity was when he hit upon the theory that below all the layers of chaos and order, going deeper than the realm of subatomic particles, is a form of energy that scientists think is actually thought. I don't know if this has to do with the "super string" theory, but what it implies is that since all matter is made up of energy and all thought is energy, that a person should be able to create matter with just his own thought. This idea goes back to the teachings of Jesus when he created fish and bread from nothing in order to feed the masses. In fact, all the great teachers and mystics having been telling us this for thousands of years. Scientists are just now catching up with them. Anyway, this idea plays an important part in the story, and Odd Thomas has to wrap his mind around the implications of just such a possibility and what it means to the monastery. I don't want you to think that this novel is a science treatise on molecular structure. It isn't. It's a fast paced, in your face, thrill ride that has you laughing out loud at times and shuttering in fear at others. This is perhaps Dean Koontz's finest novel to date, which is saying a lot, considering how many great novels he's written over the last twenty-five years. There is one gripe that I have with the author, and it's the ending. I hate being left out in the air to dry, not knowing what's in the future for Odd. You'll understand what I mean if you get the book and read the last two pages. I don't care how many times the author sings, "I Did It My Way," it still irks me. I don't even know when the next "Odd Thomas" book is coming out. It might not be till I'm ninety years old and living in a nursing home with drool running out the side of my mouth. I guess that's what audio cassette tapes are for!

Of the many characters in the many contemporary books I've read over the last several years, Odd Thomas is probably the most unforgettable. Quirky, yet sincere. Gifted and cursed. Self deprecating and funny. Brave, even when he tells the reader he isn't. Someone who does what he knows he has to do, what he knows is the RIGHT thing to do, even though it may be the last thing he WANTS to do. We need more people like that in the world today. Koontz has always been a masterful storyteller, and the Odd Thomas books, including Brother Odd, are some of his best. Sometimes a bit predictable, other times with surprising twists, always a feast of words, I love the way Koontz can turn a phrase. I would definitely recommend reading the entire series of Odd Thomas books in order. Although each can stand alone, they are richer when you know Odd's history.

First let me say that I agree with those reviewers who think this 3rd Odd Thomas book is better than the second and not as good as the first ... Then again ... WHO is ever better than anyone's "first"? Such is the nature of Odd Thomas ... there is only ONE "first" after all ... and one cannot experience the "Odd Thomas books" without first reading the original "Odd Thomas" ... you have to be "introduced" to this character to appreciate his truly unique character ... and the true genius exhibited by Dean Koontz in his creation. As a reader who only likes a very limited number of Koontz's books .... but a true fantasy lover in general ... Odd Thomas is my number one pick of Koontz's characters ... truly an ingeneous character .... heartwarming and heart aching, sharply intelligent in a most unassuming and humble-bumble (Columboish) sort of way ... Yet TRULY unique ... you can read lots of other reviews that discuss ad nauseum Odd's UNIQUE characteristics .... seeing dead/murdered people's lingering spirits ... that can't talk to him but still tell/lead him to things ... and is premonitional in that he sees bodachs ... nasty spiritual hyena like entities that arrive at the potential scenes of mass deaths sort of like vultures lead terrestrial preditors to potential food ... only these creatures seem somehow to help promote or incite the event that will create mass deaths ... Like ODD himself, they are truly unique creations of Koontz's so talented and imaginitive mind. Next, let me say that I am dismayed by those reviewers who want to try and read some imagined social/moralistic pedastal which they percieve Mr. Koontz to be shouting from in this book. Jeeze ... the story takes place in a monastery ... wouldn't you expect SOME discussion of that during the story .... ??????? DUH???? It is reflective of THE place that ODD chose to "retreat" to ... to try and get away from his despair at the loss of Stormy, and the wreched tiredness that he was at the end of Forever Odd, ... brilliant storytelling by Koontz here .... not proselytizing as some would have it. Jeeze, get a little less self indulged. IF, you like the original Odd Thomas .... You'll Like this one .... BETTER that the last one ..... Dylan Baker does a great job reading this book ... AS USUAL ... A+ Just My Opinion

A masterpiece and my favorite book in. the Odd Thomas series which are all great. I love how the seemingly supernatural entities in Dean Koontz’s stories often have a science fiction explanation. Very Whovian.
