I finished
Odd Thomas last night - and was again impressed with Koontz's ability to combine laugh-out-loud humor with truly horrendous violence and personal tragedy, and truly scary situations -- a balancing act I've only encountered well done before in Colin Cotterill's Dr. Siri series (which, come to think of it, Odd Thomas does resemble somewhat). Combining devastating personal loss with hope and optimism - without being preachy or cloying - in the midst of a cracking good thriller with "things that go bump in the night" - hard to beat.
Moving on to the next 'Odd' book for next Saturday's "fun" read (
Forever Odd) - to see if Koontz can avoid the "sophomore slump" of the 2nd book in a series.
