#12 Forever Odd

by Dean Koontz

This is the sequel to Odd Thomas, the 11th book I read. I liked the first book better I think, but not but a large margin. In fact, I stayed up until 2:30am to finish this book, because I couldn't put it down. In this book, Odd is alerted to something bad happening to his friend by his friend's father, who has just been murdered. Odd goes to his friend's house to discover that he has been kidnapped. Odd has to use his "psychic magnetism", an unseen force that gently pulls him toward a person he is seeking, in order to save his friend. There is quite a differnet mood to this book. Rather than trying to prevent a possible massacre to save hundreds of lives, he is trying to save the life of one of his closest friends.

Again, Dean Koontz did an excellent job with this page turner. I was determined many times to stop reading at the end of this chapter, but would find myself reading on into the next chapter, having to renew my determination...at the end of this chapter.
