I've got too many (possibly good) books to read to waste my time on this. ( ) Oh man... I just can't do it anymore. I hung in there with Odd Thomas for 4 books, thinking at some point the series would return to the captivating charm of the first instalment, but I have to admit it's never going to happen. The plot of ODD HOURS meanders and goes nowhere, with nothing but Odd's "gut feelings" and a maddeningly obtuse sidekick to prod it along. Very little actually happens in the first 300 pages or so. Instead, we're treated to endless descriptions of the weather, the setting, and the general atmosphere--sprinkled with many of Odd's awkward observations about life. The dialogue, sparse as it is, feels overly stilted--like Koontz was trying hard to be funny but couldn't quite manage it. Odd started out sweet and lovable in the first book. By the fourth, he's a complete nitwit, with very few likeable characteristics. He seems led along by his hunches, a victim of his "gift" rather than a man willing to take charge of his life. And with that, I'm done. Not just with Odd Thomas, but with Koontz entirely, which is a shame, because I really loved some of his other books. He's just had too many misses for me, and ODD HOURS was the straw that broke the camel's back. Or the book that decimated the reader's last shred of patience. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
