I'm a big fan of Dean Koontz books, and was looking forward to another in the Odd Thomas series. However, I found myself getting bored, and had it not been for it being a Dean Koontz book about one of my favorite characters, I would have quit halfway through.I loved Boo the dog, but Elvis got old really fast. And the bone things just didn't seem realistic or even scary for that matter, just pedantic at best.I wish we could have Stormy back--at least that made Oddie more interesting...Here's hoping the next installment is better.
