À propos de cet audio

Meet Odd Thomas, the unassuming young hero of Dean Koontz’s dazzling New York Times bestseller, a gallant sentinel at the crossroads of life and death who offers up his heart in these pages and will forever capture yours.

“The dead don’t talk. I don’t know why.” But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant. Sometimes the silent souls who seek out Odd want justice. Occasionally their otherworldly tips help him prevent a crime. But this time it’s different.

A stranger comes to Pico Mundo, accompanied by a horde of hyena-like shades who herald an imminent catastrophe. Aided by his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn, and an unlikely community of allies that includes the King of Rock ’n’ Roll, Odd will race against time to thwart the gathering evil. His account of these shattering hours, in which past and present, fate and destiny, converge, is a testament by which to live—an unforgettable fable for our time destined to rank among Dean Koontz’s most enduring works.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Once in a very great while, an author does everything right—as Koontz has in this marvelous novel.... the story, like most great stories, runs on character—and here Koontz has created a hero whose honest, humble voice will resonate with many.... This is Koontz working at his pinnacle, providing terrific entertainment that deals seriously with some of the deepest themes of human existence: the nature of evil, the grip of fate and the power of love."—Publishers Weekly

"Dean Koontz almost occupies a genre of his own. He is a master at building suspense and holding the reader spellbound."—Richmond Times-Dispatch

"Dean Koontz is not just a master of our darkest dreams, but also a literary juggler."—The Times (London)

I really enjoyed the concept. However, the writing style feels very much like a high school writing assignment in which the student was tasked with using as much simile as possible. Just hard to take seriously after awhile. The narration was well done.

Interesting concept, novice writing, well executed performance

From the narrator to each successive character, this story is easy to see and easy to live. Excellent narration, characters are unique in their voices. And what a great story! Unique, interesting, completely human even though it holds so much that is out past the fringes of the real. Koontz does the job of the mighty here.

Incredible characters

To slow. Nothing all that fun to grab hold of. The performance was OK. Blah blah.

It was slow and not worth the time. Half way through and really nothing has taken shape.
