"I didn't enjoy this as much as the first, because frankly, I didn't feel like the plot was as strong. But it was still pretty darn enjoyable. Odd is still a hilarious, although somewhat rambling narrator. The living are still, in a lot of ways, way more creepy than the dead. The other thing that bothered me a bit, and it's common with sequels, was the crazy retread of things I already knew. I know they he was just reminding me of what happened in book one, but I still totally remembered! I didn't need to be reminded. Seriously though, I did really like it, even though I'm complaining a bit. I'd still like to read the rest of the books."
"What, as an author, do you do with a character who can see dead people? Simple, put him in a haunted house. Which, in itself, is exactly 9/10s of everything that is wrong with this book. Every action, every response, every twist and turn is so damned predictable! Why use subtlety when you can bludgeon a reader about the head? Why bother with foreshadowing when you can just spell it out for everyone on page 60? Why show that a couple are soulmates when you can just have them say it to one another over and over and over? Still, I'm a glutton for punishment and this wasn't painful enough of a read to dissuade me from Book 3."
"Forever Odd continues the story of Odd Thomas, a twenty-something man who can communicate with the dead. This second installment takes place shortly after the end of the first story where Odd is left reeling after the loss of a loved one. When we first encounter this beloved character, he is grieving and halfheartedly searching for a happiness that he believes is lost forever. Odd's next adventure begins with the disappearance of his friend Danny after the murder of Danny's stepfather. Danny is a delicate person suffering from brittle bone syndrome and Odd is concerned. A long tedious pursuit begins leading Odd to the woman who kidnapped Danny after learning about Odd's ability from him. Datura is obsessed with the supernatural and believes that Odd can show her the ghosts that she longs to see. Their brutal conflict twists and turns through several showdowns and leaves us questioning Odd's survival at the end. Needless to say, the ending of the book is the most spectacular part of the story. Odd Thomas is such a lovable character that I was pulled to continue reading but the plot of the book was extremely slow at times. Without Odd's magnetism, I would not be a fan!"
"Forever Odd- and Odd it was. The beginning was slow and I really wondered if I was going to make it through. The main character sees the dead and helps the local police to solve crimes. Early on in the book the main character sees Elvis sitting at his kitchen table crying over salt and pepper shakers of himself. This was the point when I almost gave up reading it. There was truly no point in Elvis, he never returned and was only causally mentioned later in the book. What was the point? Ridiculous! I will admit that the supernatural is not my favorite storyline but I figured it involes crime and mystery so that should hold my attention. It didn't start to pick up until midway through then there was some excitement. If you enjoy the supernatural you may enjoy reading this book. Say hi to Elvis!"
