The Odd Apocalypse Book Review:
You need to be interested in the Odd
series to get this book. The series is worth reading from the start.
While Odd Hours was a very dark novel
this one seems even worse. The story is set in a California estate
and takes place over a single day. It's only a few days after Odd
Hours. That makes it essential that you be familiar with what
happened before. The pregnant girl from Odd Hours, Annemarie is back
in the story. She has a very important but small part in this story.
The ghost dog is also back.
Odd still is a master of using his
words. He's bothered by the all the stuff that seems to go wrong but
he always seems to keep a positive outlook. He's just a good guy.
That's what I really enjoy about him. His attitude seems to make a
most horrid situation breathable. He's a character that you really
care about.
This almost felt like an interlude from
the real Odd Thomas series but it was good as usual. Most of the
people in Odds life don't make a real appearance in the story. It's
mostly just the people in the estate. The only major issue I had was
the excess of philosophy from Odd. It was a little too much for my
tastes.
This was a very enjoyable story. The
writing and characters are great. Odd is really the only light in
this rather dark story. I can't wait to break into the next book in
the series. The series as a whole is turning out great.
