![]() It's a perfect mix of humor, the strength of the human spirit, drama, action and hope. It will have you guessing and holding your breath. This book is packed full of everything you could want in a book. Odd's only clue is his heightened senses and a page ripped from a calender - August 15th. In this book a secretive man draws Odd's attention and he keeps an eye on him, sensing trouble. But as Odd applies his unique talents to the task of finding the missing person, he discovers something worse than a dead body, encounters an enemy of exceptional cunning, and spirals into a vortex of terror. Odd's parents leave a lot to be desired, but his long-time girlfriend Stormy is another awesome character in this book. A childhood friend of Odd’s has disappeared. He also has a pretty great "sidekick" - Elvis, who is prone to crying jags. Bodachs seem to signal major trouble and death. He can see the dead, along with nasty evil things he calls bodachs. The dead don't talk, Odd tells us, but they do communicate and he helps them "find peace" among other things. ![]() Odd Thomas is the main character (Odd is really his first name) and he is one of the most memorable and relatable (well besides communicating with the dead) character to come along in a while. This is one of those books that stay with you long after you are done reading it. ![]()
