A recommendation for those who like to read

Go get, and subsequently read the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz.

I have never been a fan of Koontz, actually never gave him a try before getting these books on the recommendation of a close friend. There is Odd Thomas, Forever Odd, and Brother Odd. The series is about a young man, named Odd, who just happens to see spirits.

The reason I love these books so much is because of Odd. He is quite literally the only character I've ever read who did not stay a character in my mind. Once you get into the first book, you forget Koontz even wrote the story. The words seem to literally be coming from Odd Thomas. His character is vivid and witty.

My only criticism of the series is one that from the perspective of an author cannot really be helped. That is the redundancy that comes in the very beginning of each of the last two books...in order to reiterate relevant points of the story that the reader might have forgotten or for those who might not have read the previous book(s).

I've heard that there is more coming to this series, and I am anxiously awaiting tangible proof of that - as in an actual release in my local bookstore. Until then, I thought I'd pass on the recommendation to anyone else who might love reading as much as I do.
