Reviews - Praise for ODD THOMAS

"Once in a very great while, an author does everything right - as Koontz has in this marvelous novel. This is Koontz working at his pinnacle, providing terrific entertainment that deals seriously with some of the deepest themes of human existence: the nature of evil, the grip of fate and the power of love." -Publishers Weekly

"A curious mixture of whimsy, gentle humor and horror... [and] a hero who feels perfectly comfortable with the ghost of Elvis Presley and identifies, in equal parts, with Hamlet, Quasimodo and E. T." -The New York Times

"Taut and suspenseful ... gifted storytelling." -Chicago Sun-Times

"Koontz is a master of melding the supernatural with the commonplace, and in ODD THOMAS he's created a world that defies logic yet seems real." -The Boston Globe

"Dean Koontz tells such a sweet horror tale in ODD THOMAS that, despite the threat of mass slaughter, it can be described as heartwarming. What ultimately brings the story home is Koontz's plot, which delivers some stunning moments. There is much to fear in ODD THOMAS, including coming to its end more quickly than you'd wish. " -Daily News (New York)

"The new ODD THOMAS is one of Dean Koontz's best novels, right up there with DARK RIVERS OF THE HEART, INTESITY and FEAR NOTHING." -Denver Post
