Though Koontz's style shines through on every page of Forever Odd, and though Odd Thomas himself is just as endearing, I found myself disappointed in this book. The scope of it was so much smaller than the first one, that it didn't seem like a proper sequel. If anything, it should have been told in half the space and published in a short story anthology. 
 All that being said, I did read on in the series. Odd Thomas is just that good.
