I absolutely love Dean koontz books and Odd Thomas was really interesting. I loved the movie, especially the part in the beginning when he helped the dead blonde girl and at the end when he got over loosing his girlfriend, after she appeared to him and spent time with him. Awesome story line.

I really liked the Odd Thomas books. One thing I was disappointed about in the movie was that Elvis wasn't a ghost character. It was a very funny part in the book when Elvis would appear dressed in different costumes.

Nothing ever topped the first Odd Thomas book for me. The rest of the series was hot and cold, from book to book. I did think the movie did a good job showcasing the first book, and I wish there were more.

I only recently found out about the Odd Thomas movie. The book was one of the first I read for Dean Koontz and I kept rereading it even up until a year ago. The ending was really saddening but they tend to make things less drastic in the films so I hope that's the case.
