10) Forever Odd by Dean Koontz

"I see dead people. But then, by God, I do something about it. Odd Thomas never asked for his special ability. He's just an ordinary guy trying to live a quiet life in the small desert town of Pico Mundo. Yet he feels an obligation to right by  his otherworldly confidants, and that's why he's won hearts on both sides of the divide between life and death. But when a childhood friend disappears, Odd discovers something worse than a dead body and embarks on a heart-stopping battle of will and wits with an enemy of exceptional cunning. In the hours to come there can be no innocent bystanders, and every sacrifice can tip the balance between despair and hope. You're invited on an unforgettable journey through a world of terror and transcendence to wonders beyond imagining. And you can have no better guide than Odd Thomas."

The first Koontz book I ever picked up was Dragontears sometime and somewhere in my dusty highschool library. I liked it and went on to read a bunch more by this prolific author. Of all the Koontz books I have read, my favorite has been Coldfire - by far. This one was good like all of Koontz's books but, I would not consider it extraordinary. It is simply an entertaining read, fast paced and adventurous. I definitely like the first person narrative which kept the book very personal and real. This book is the sequel to Odd Thomas and it is followed by Brother Odd.

Not a book that I will reread, nevertheless it is a satisfying read.
