The town (which actually is populated by members of the same family who run the motel, diner and service station at the exit) has, for five years, been under the influence of some "force" that has terrorized the whole family and controls their entire lives. Odd sets out to free the inhabitants of the town. The story is not quite like the other Odd Thomas books - it lacks much of the essence of Odd that sets the other stories in the series apart, but it does have a nice sense of suspense about it. Some parts felt a bit contrived, and that's a bit disappointing. The concept of presenting the story in three individually purchased segments is interesting. If, after buying the first, you don't care for the story, you needn't buy the rest, thus saving money; however, if used unscrupulously, it could be used as a tool to increase the overall price of the book, by hooking you onto the story, then "forcing" you to continue paying to finish the read. Fortunately, Koontz and Amazon use their powers properly, charging only $1.99 per segment, totaling up $5.97 for a complete, novel-length story. I think this is a fair price, and a reasonable price to pay for a fairly good story. (  ) jpporter | Jul 22, 2012 | no reviews | add a review
