I was a little underwhelmed by the eventual revelation of just exactly what was up with Annamaria, but I suppose that was only natural since Koontz has been teasing us with it since 2008. This time, what the cultists have planned will make the events at the mall years ago look like child’s play…. So, warned by a dream that is clearly more than the result of too much pizza, Odd is drawn back to his home town for one final confrontation.
If someone wanted to hurt our heroic fry cook, hitting Pico Mundo is a no-brainer. He is now their number one target…and it’s no secret who he is and where he comes from. With the help of some new-found friends he thwarted their plans that day, but in doing so has painted a bulls-eye on his back. Several months ago his path crossed that of a malevolent cult of Satanists, this time ones that were actually tapped into some nasty supernatural powers. If you measure a man by the enemies he makes, Odd Thomas counts among the giants. That said, it’s obviously not the best place to start the series. It should be no secret by now that I’m a huge fan of Koontz and his most popular character, and this final entry in the Odd Thomas saga was no exception even if a few elements left me underwhelmed. The three (or twelve, depending on how you look at it) year journey of everyone’s favorite fry cook now draws to a close.
