![]() ![]() Koontz develops fascinating characters who are revealed through physical and personality descriptions, which are reinforced throughout the book. So here, in a book review of a different type – are some of the techniques I noticed in Deeply Odd and Brother Odd, another book from the series. As a writer, I was blown away by Koontz’s skill. In the process, he helps these dead people, including such luminaries as Elvis Presley and Alfred Hitchcock, resolve whatever earthly issues they have so they can pass on.Īs a reader, I found the story a real page turner – or since I was on the road – a miles burner. He uses this skill to combat evil in the living world. If you haven’t read any of the books, here’s the premise: Odd Thomas is a young man who can see and talk to dead people. A recent road trip gave me plenty of listening time, so I chose Deeply Odd, from Koontz’s Odd Thomas series. Though I’d seen his books on bookstore and library shelves, I’d never cracked one open. Recently I caught a Dean Koontz interview on the CBS Sunday Morning show. But every so often, I enjoy trying something different. Memoirs and historical fiction are my normal reading choices. ![]()
