Histoire
Amid the dizzying rides, tantalizing games of chance, and fanciful attractions of a state fair, two teenage sweethearts on the cusp of life and love's pleasures find their way to a shadowy carnival tent brimming with curiosities. There, from the bizarre and enthralling Gypsy Mummy, a mechanized merchant of dreams and prognosticator of tomorrows, the young couple learns what fate promises for them. But fate, for Odd Thomas and Stormy Llewellyn, is something altogether different: full of dark corners, sharp edges, and things no seer or soothsayer could ever anticipate.

Histoire
The boxes arrive mysteriously, one by one, at Channing Manheim’s fortified compound. The threat implicit in their bizarre, disturbing contents seems to escalate with each new delivery. Manheim’s security chief, ex-cop Ethan Truman, is used to looking beneath the surface of things. But until he entered the orbit of a Hollywood icon, he had no idea just how slippery reality could be. Now this good man is all that stands in the way of an insidious killer—and forces that eclipse the most fevered fantasies of a city where dreams and nightmares are the stuff of daily life.

Histoire
In retreat from a devastating loss and crushing injustice, Katie lives alone in a fortresslike stone house on Jacob’s Ladder island. Once a rising star in the art world, she finds refuge in her painting. The neighboring island of Ringrock houses a secret: a government research facility. And now two agents have arrived on Jacob’s Ladder in search of someone—or something—they refuse to identify. Although an air of menace hangs over these men, an infinitely greater threat has arrived, one so strange even the island animals are in a state of high alarm.

Histoire
Jimmy Tock comes into the world on the very night his grandfather leaves it. As a violent storm rages outside the hospital, Rudy Tock spends long hours walking the corridors between the expectant fathers' waiting room and his dying father's bedside. It's a strange vigil made all the stranger when, at the very height of the storm's fury, Josef Tock suddenly sits up in bed and speaks coherently for the frist and last time since his stroke. What he says before he dies is that there will be five dark days in the life of his grandson.

A murderous sociopath, Edgler Foreman Vess, has entered the house, intent on killing everyone inside.

“You like it darker? Fine, so do I,” writes Stephen King in the afterword to this magnificent new collection of twelve stories that delve into the darker part of life—both metaphorical and literal. King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Great Koontz book as always

Description
Every so often a character so captures the hearts and imaginations of listeners that he seems to take on a life of his own long after the final chapter. For such a character, one book is not enough—listeners 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.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"Forever Odd is a fast and exciting read.... [the climactic scenes are] fraught with tension."—Rocky Mountain News
"The nice young fry cook with the occult powers is [Dean Koontz's] most likable creation. ... candid, upright, amusing and sometimes withering, especially when thinking about the state of contemporary popular culture."—The New York Times
"Inventive.... It's refreshing to come across a character as good-hearted as Odd.... [Dean Koontz is] an interesting writer with a voice all his own."—Washington Post

A great sequel to the first Odd Thomas.
Very well narrated. I enjoyed this sequel to Odd Thomas
Dean Koontz has a beautiful narrative in his purple prose. Although not required, a recommended read to his first book Odd Thomas.

Somewhat Disappointing Follow-up
This book has the same basic ingredients that made Dean Koontz's 'Odd Thomas' so unusual and refreshing: The chief character is distinctly average (a short-order cook living in Anytown, USA), the underlying premise - a guy who can see and communicate with the dead - is imaginative (and naturally implies interesting plot threads/twists), even peripheral characters have genuinely weird attributes (six fingers, a rare disfiguring disease, or an overpowering Elvis obsession, for example), and Koontz has obvious fun with the scenarios (the text is largely lighthearted & quirky - he doesn't take himself all that seriously). This is unlike any other fiction out there - but the story still somehow works. The writing is of the highest quality, the occult-based theme (voodoo-fed this time) is intriguing to readers like me, the plot is well-conceived & well-executed, and the descriptions are mind's-eye vivid.
Unfortunately, 'Forever Odd' doesn't match the great pacing of the first book, the sardonic protagonist comes across as moderately disingenuous (he's not taking the situation seriously *at all*), and this installment lacks the pathos that made Book One emotionally effective.
(Aside: With that twist ending, one wonders if the first book wasn't intended as a one-off.)
David Aaron Baker's narration is likewise lacking in this effort. His reading remains far above average (diction, timbre, cadence, voice-acting, and reading rate are all spot-on), but Baker sounds moderately bored for some reason.
Don't get me wrong: this effort is still worth 8 stars out of 10 - and you should for sure give it a listen if you enjoyed 'Odd Thomas' - it's definitely a unique storytelling experience
..but it simply doesn't meet the standard set by the first book of the series.

Weaker overall than the first book
If you are like me, then comparing this to the first story will leave you disappointed. I was very happy with the first book in this series, and later seeing all the other books in the story left to read seemed like good news. However, there just wasn't much that I found enjoyable in this book.
The writing was fine, albeit less compelling. It was just a far less interesting story compared to the first one.The narration was not as good as the first one. While it is the same narrator, he just doesn't deliver the same quality of performance. There are odd places when, either the narration or the way some words are spoken, that are immersion breaking. One of several such examples was the name of some of the "villains". We are introduced to them as "chev all", and then given different details that maybe would make sense if we knew what the actual words were. The word the narrator was trying to say in this instance was "cheval", spoken more like shev (shev like chevrolet) AL, not chev (ch like in church) ALL. Alone they aren't big but the story starts to hinge on some of these things being known and everything starts falling apart when you realize the words you are hearing aren't actually words, and that you should have been hearing other words to associate to these people. While you are wondering what these made up words the narrator is spouting at you mean, you are left behind as the story continues without you.
Just overall, I found the narrator to be less enjoyable. The characters I grew to enjoy from the first book were also mostly removed from this one. The chief, his wife, little ozzy, odd's mom, his dad, three dog, the restaurant owner, etc. They were almost completely absent from the book. In their place was a weird location and even stranger characters that felt like they would be better suited for a Jim Butcher novel than an Odd Thomas adventure. But this is just my two cents.
I went from excited to read the next book in one of my favourite stories, to pretty much losing interest in the series as a whole. I may pick it up again at some point, but I wont recommend this one to you.
