Odd Thomas! You're such a fantastic character, and you get embroiled in some of the craziest stories. That's fine, that's what I expect. But I found this novel somewhat lacking, similar to my experience with Forever Odd. But instead of being underwhelmed by Odd's exploits, I'm overwhelmed by them. 
 He doesn't save a mall full of people, or thwart an evil genius and his creation. No, he more or less saves the planet, and this time with a cast that I had a more difficult time getting to enjoy or believe. I hope Odd Thomas hasn't run his course. That said, if book five came out (and not a graphic novel), I'd pick it up. Odd is worth it.
