Product Description:
Every so often a character so captures the hearts and imaginations of readers that he seems to take on a life of his own long after the final page is turned. For such a character, one book is not enough—readers must know what happens next. Now Dean Koontz returns with the novel his fans have been demanding. With the emotional power and sheer storytelling artistry that are his trademarks, Koontz takes up once more the story of a unique young hero and an eccentric little town in a tale that is equal parts suspense and terror, adventure and mystery—and altogether irresistibly odd.
We’re all a little odd beneath the surface. He’s the most unlikely hero you’ll ever meet—an ordinary guy with a modest job you might never look at twice. But there’s so much more to any of us than meets the eye—and that goes triple for Odd Thomas. For Odd lives always between two worlds in the small desert town of Pico Mundo, where the heroic and the harrowing are everyday events. Odd never asked to communicate with the dead—it’s something that just happened. But as the unofficial goodwill ambassador between our world and theirs, he’s got a duty to do the right thing. That’s the way Odd sees it and that’s why he’s won hearts on both sides of the divide between life and death.
A childhood friend of Odd’s has disappeared. The worst is feared. But as Odd applies his unique talents to the task of finding the missing person, he discovers something worse than a dead body, encounters an enemy of exceptional cunning, and spirals into a vortex of terror. Once again Odd will stand against our worst fears. Around him will gather new allies and old, some living and some not. For in the battle to come, there can be no innocent bystanders, and every sacrifice can tip the balance between despair and hope. Whether you’re meeting Odd Thomas for the first time or he’s already an old friend, you’ll be led on an unforgettable journey through a world of terror, wonder and delight—to a revelation that can change your life. And you can have no better guide than Odd Thomas.

Rating:  - Excellent Sequel to Odd Thomas
Great book. A definite must read and a great follow up to Odd Thomas. The book was hard to put down as I needed to know what happened.
Rating: - If you like Odd....this is a must
This is a a great book in the series. The imagination in this book takes you right to the edge of believable.
Rating:  - I didn't like this book
After reading Odd Thomas, which I didn't find scary, but it was a page turner and being saddened by Odd's loss of Stormy I was hoping for another good book. This book started off slow to me. You jump in right away to searching for Danny. In the time it took Odd to leave the Grille and finally get to Danny I was bored silly. In this book Odd seems to ramble and ramble and this bored me to tears. When the villan was introduced I was seriously let down. She is just plain stupid crazy, no scary ... Read More
Rating: - A really good follow up to Odd Thomas book 1 in this series
I really enjoyed this title and am just about to start Brother Odd book 3. This is such a wonderful character (Odd Thomas) Koontz has created and I can only hope that he keeps these books going a while longer. I think it would be really interesting if Koontz and Patterson got together and had Thomas meet up with Alex Cross ... hmmm
Rating:  - I agree with most readers here
As I said in my review of the first book 'Odd Thomas' I loved the book and was greatly looking forward to reading the second book 'Forever Odd'. I started it immediately after finishing the first book and was pulled right back in to the life of Odd. Then it all went down hill.....the character Datura could have been a great villain, but she wasn't. Parts were so confusing I don't even know what was going on, where did that mountain lion come from? Why did Robert not attack Odd? And that chase scene ... Read More
