Occasionally great writers, like Dean Koontz, find a niche, which fits them so well that they rise above their already lofty status to produce works, which define them. Dean Koontz has done this with his Odd Thomas series. Like Stephen King with his Dark Tower Books, Koontz accomplishes this feat 鈥� in my opinion 鈥� with his incredible understanding of the lead character and his world.

In, Odd Hours, Koontz explores two of America鈥檚 biggest internal threats 鈥� greed and extreme idealism 鈥� and pits his hero, Odd Thomas, against a cast of all-too-close-to-home villains that will have you wondering about the guy who picks up your trash, and even that nice lady from church who gives so much of herself to help those in need.

I found the ending of Odd Hours 鈥� which left me wondering about the fate of the various would-be assassins, and curious as to what 鈥渆lse鈥� were those coyotes 鈥� a bit anticlimactic, but the wonderful characterization and suspenseful, adventurous setting more than make up for this.
