Brother Odd

I have been consistently underwhelmed by the Odd Thomas series, despite think that Odd is a great character and the premise of the story being interesting. However, the way Koontz writes this character and the inner dialogue that we witness due to this being a first person narrative makes this a difficult read. Often times the situations are outlandish and Koontz chooses to write in a way that is so abstract and forced philosophical that reading becomes tedious. I constantly found myself thinking, “When will he get to the point?” I read this book in ebook and audiobook formats. I must admit the audio was slightly better, the ramblings that Odd engages in seem to fit the audio medium better. Overall, after giving this series a try, I've decided to not continue the rest of the series.
