While I find most of Mr. Koontz's other fiction very hit or miss (mostly miss this past decade), the Odd Thomas books are consistently interesting, witty and captivating. Odd Thomas (someone left the T off of Todd on his birth certificate), or Oddie, as he his known to his friends and fans, is an ex-fry cook. He makes the world's best, fluffiest pancakes. He also sees ghosts. They do not speak, but gesture to him and pantomime, to get their points across almost always that something bad is coming, and trying to help out. In the first few books his ex-vivo silent companion was Elvis, followed for a bit by Frank Sinatra. Currently he is haunted by Alfred Hitchcock.Oddie also has a kind of psychic magnetism that draws him inexorably towards places that he needs to be. These always have to do with stopping a person or persons from committing acts that could or will result in mass death and/or destruction. It seems that Oddie's mission in life is to prevent as much of this mayhem as he can, until a stray bullet, explosion or knife in the back catches him and reunites him with his ("You are destined to be together forever") beloved Stormy Llewellyn . There's a lot more more to Odd's back story, but you can glean much of it from this novel, that refers back to many or most of the previous books. "Deeply Odd", like all of the Odd Thomas books, can be read as a stand-alone, but I recommend going back at some point and reading them all. All of them are little gems and the references to previous events will be clearer and the enjoyment of this newest entry, "Deeply Odd", that much the greater.Near the beginning of the novel, Odd runs into a white-haired nasty cowboy driving a ProStar+ rig, both of which emanate terrible evil. A waking daydream or vision convinces Odd that trucker intends or is somehow linked to the mass death by fire of a large number of young children. Fleeing from the trucker's threat to de-man him with a gun, Oddie meets up with octogenarian, Edie Fisher, who is driving a black Mercedes stretch limo. Seems her long-time driver has just died and Edie is in need of a replacement that she instantly identifies as Oddie. ("I'm a fry cook, Mrs. Fisher, not a chauffeur.") But Mrs. Fisher ("Call me Edie. Yes Ma'am".) is much more than she seems to be, and "hires" Oddie (over his protestations) as her driver (while still driving the limo herself). Mrs. Fisher becomes Oddie's' partner in his mission to find and stop the evil cowboy to stop him before he kills the children. Along the way things become way strange, venturing into a parallel universe (or is it?) and Odd finds, for the first time, someone with abilities similar to his own.In Deeply Odd, Oddie takes center stage sans all of his friends and companions from previous novels (having left Annamaria back at the ranch when he went for a short trip into town to buy some jeans whereupon all of this adventure started). But Mrs. Fisher is a great new character, and a fine foil for the witty banter that Odd Thomans fans have come to love expect. We meet a few of Edie's friends (she seems to know just about everyone all over the place) who are uniformly extremely helpful and all of whom love her very much. Odd's internal commentary (all of the books are purported to be his memoirs, not to be published until he is dead) is also funny, with many of his similes and metaphors apt to make the reader laugh out loud.The ending (actually I think it would have worked better as a Coda or an Epilogue) is a little too fantastic, incomprehensible and happily ever after, but that is a rather small quibble. Finally, at the end, this reader was left feeling that Odd Thomas's adventures that began only 19 months (and 6 novels) ago in Pico Mundo, CA, may be drawing to a close, and he may be coming closer to his reunion with Stormy. This is only a impression, but it is one that has lasted for the week since I finished the novel.Another must read for all Odd Thomas fans, but also a reasonable place to start if you like interesting characters, horror leavened with humor, and light fantasy of a unique sort.Highly recommended.J.M. Tepper ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Odd Thomas journey grows stronger and gains purpose *by D***2 on Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2013* Dean Koontz wrote some great horror books early in his career. In recent years he's evolved into a writer who not only tells a great story but who can also be relied on to create a deeper "layer" or "current" beneath the surface of the book that serves to inspire or exalt morality and virtuous behavior. Koontz did this masterfully in Odd Thomas, the first book in this series - creating a great protagonist that was heroic, witty, loyal, but also a bit flawed.I enjoyed the subsequent books in the series, but I also felt in the most recent ones that Odd Thomas lacked direction and growth in terms of his character. Well, Deeply Odd cures that and then some. This is easily the best book in the series since the original and I'll give two reasons why I feel that way:1. Odd Thomas gives voice to his most overwhelming need - redemption. It's been a constant theme of course that he saved lives in the original book but lost Stormy - however, it's never been this in-depth or articulated so well. In Deeply Odd you can literally feel how pained Odd is and how much he craves redemption, even though he doesn't believe it is possible.2. Odd Thomas' journey in the last few books was so random at times that I was frustrated at the lack of growth in his character, but now ... we find out how all of his adventures have been building up to one great purpose - his journey has a destination, and everything to this point (and including the storyline in Deeply Odd) has been preparing him for the final book in the series. Without including a spoiler, suffice it to say that Odd Thomas' journey is set to come full circle.It took me 175 pages or so before I began to appreciate these two points in Deeply Odd - but from that moment forward the pace was relentless and everything that had seemed random began to take shape and gain meaning.A couple other notes (without spoiling anything) for readers already immersed in the world of Odd Thomas - it's pretty subtle but if you read closely between the lines then I think there's a big reveal about Annamaria near the end of the book that could play a major role in Odd's future; and Alfred Hitchcock does something pretty cool, as well.For readers who are new to the world of Odd Thomas: I noticed other reviewers suggested that if you've never read an Odd Thomas book then you should probably read the others first - however, I'd put it this way: if you're willing to suspend your disbelief at the randomness of the universe then you'll be just fine reading this book. Two examples: one, if it bothers you that when Odd is running from a bad guy he just happens to cross paths with a gang of bank robbers who leave keys in the getaway car, then you might be distracted from the finer points of the book; and two, if the first randomly convenient car bugs you but doesn't keep you from plowing forward, then the elderly woman who shows up in a limousine and asks Odd to be her chauffer at the next instance in which he is in desperate need of wheels might. Just suspend your disbelief - his name is Odd for a reason - and you'll enjoy this book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Goody' Thomas getting a bit cloying. *by B***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 2, 2017* A good read, and more overt 'horror' than some of the other Odd Thomas books, but coming straight to this after reading the first five in sequence, I'm starting to get a bit irritated by Oddie's scrupulous over-politeness. His stubborn refusal to address his elders as anything other than 'Sir' or Ma'am', even when they repeatedly ask him to use their first names, and his substituting coarse language with silly euphemisms when supposedly reporting dialogue, becomes laboured rather than humorous . Odd, for fornication's sake, we know you don't use bad language yourself - but when you're relating others' conversation, either leave the swear-words out altogether, or just tell us what was said.I'm hoping Oddie will get a bit less saccharine in the final 'episode' - Saint Odd - despite its title. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1700056-deeply-odd-odd-thomas-book-6](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/1700056-deeply-odd-odd-thomas-book-6) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
