Haunted by dreams of an all-encompassing red tide, Odd is pulled inexorably to the sea, to a small California coastal town where nothing is as it seems. Now Koontz follows Odd as he is drawn onward, to a destiny he cannot imagine. An annoying fortune cookie of a character, a lack of engaging side characters, slow pacing, and errors in simple details from previous books haunt this paranormal tale. Unfortunately, book four doesn’t measure up to the previous three books, and doesn’t even come close to books one and two. I got my hands on the entire series to read while I recover from surgery, and I’ve been enjoying its whimsical, endearing charms. Odd Hours (found in The Odd Thomas Series 6-Book Bundle ) is the fourth book in Dean Koontz’s Odd Thomas series. Cons: Slow, somewhat ‘ordinary’, with a fortune-cookie character and glaring continuity errors
