The seventh and final Odd Thomas thriller from the master storyteller. The future is haunting Odd Thomas. The carnival has returned to Pico Mundo, the same one that came to town when Odd was just sixteen. Odd is drawn to an arcade tent where he discovers Gypsy Mummy, the fortune-telling machine that told him that he and Stormy Llewellyn were destined to be together forever. But Stormy is dead and Pico Mundo is under threat once more. History seems to be repeating itself as Odd grapples with a satanic cult intent on bringing destruction to his town. An unseasonal storm is brewing, and as the sky darkens and the sun turns blood-red, it seems that all of nature is complicit in their plans. Meanwhile Odd is having dreams of a drowned Pico Mundo, where the submerged streetlamps eerily light the streets. But there's no way Pico Mundo could wind up underwater ...could it?

+ "You are Destined to be Together Forever," --the Gypsy Mummy prophecy
By Bassocantor
In SAINT ODD, our hero again returns to his hometown, Pico Mundo. Unfortunately for that town, however, the satanic cult, overcome so recently, has also returned in force. This time, the satanists are ready to wreak havoc on the town's inhabitants in an even more violent way.
Like the other books in the series, SAINT ODD involves evil forces versus good. In SAINT ODD, our hero makes a return to the carnival setup at Pico Mundo, where he and Stormy first got the fortune teller card. You might recall that it was the "gypsy mommy" who handed them that very special card--a card that would change both their lives forever. Now standing at that same place again, Odd chooses to receive another card from the same gypsy mommy. But the message he receives is not at all what he expected.
SAINT ODD completes the Odd Thomas series. SAINT ODD reprises some of the curious characters who appeared in the prior books. Do you remember Edie Fischer, the rich lady driving the limo? (Recall that she hired Odd briefly as her chauffeur.) Edie again makes a timely appearance, and we learn a lot more about her--as well as her connection to Stormy. Also, Odd's best friend, the rotund author, Ozzie Boone, makes his appearance. You might also remember the mysterious, perpetually 8-months pregnant Annamaria from the prior installment. She's quite a mysterious figure, and we will learn more about her. And of course, what would a Dean Koontz book be without a special passage regarding a beloved dog? This touching encounters takes place near the very end of the book. (I should mention, if you haven't read the author's precious, true story about his "Golden," check out, A Big Little Life.)
In all of modern literature, I think Odd Thomas might be the most endearing, likeable character. Odd is a modest fellow, as he again declares, "I'm a fry cook, at my best when working the griddle, master of the spatula, maker of pancakes so light they seem about the float off your plate." Of course, we readers know very well that Odd Thomas is anything except JUST a fry cook. We all know by now that Thomas can see the spirits of the recently dead, and that he has an assortment of very unusual psychic/spiritual abilities. Most of his encounters with the newly dead are peaceful encounters. He reminds us, however, that sometimes a vengeful ghost can create havoc: "I had lost a perfectly good stereo system to a poltergeist when I was 17."
In SAINT ODD, the reader is again treated to imaginative descriptions of unusual situations. Here's one: Odd Thomas finds himself in a bit of a bind, and he worries about being bitten by a vampire bat. He notes that "people were rarely bitten by vampire bats." And then, "I didn't find the word RARELY as comforting as the word NEVER." Likewise, when Odd admits he is afraid that he might get eaten by beetles, he remarks: "It was not my fate to be BEETLED to death." [my caps]
√ All in all, SAINT ODD is an outstanding work, a fitting cap to this wonderful, endearing series. Of all the books written by this master author, this book might just be one of his best. If you have not yet read the other books in the series, I strongly encourage you to stop--do not read this book yet. You will thank me for it later. Much of the intricacy of this book depends upon readers understanding what has come before.
Like all of the other Odd Thomas books in the series, SAINT ODD is a pleasure to read--so don't rush it. Especially as you near the finish of this book, slow down, and savor every word. The second to last chapter, Chapter 52, is one of the finest, most meaningful chapters in all of Koontz' books. All I can say is, the author is a wonderfully gifted writer, and this review does not do justice to this work.
TRIVIA FOR LOVERS OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
As many readers probably already know, the author was an English teacher before he achieved fame as an author. Thus, the author is a master of the English language. For example, I was delighted to see that the author knew precisely how to use the word "balustrade." Many writers do not use this word properly, but of course Dean Koontz gets it exactly right when he uses the word in chapter 2. Yes, I admit this is a rather slight observation, but it shows you how careful the author is when he constructs his narratives--he is a master of DETAIL.
NEW VOCABULARY WORDS
I frequently read books by Dean Koontz with a dictionary close by. Then, I like to make a list of all the new vocabulary words I have learned. In SAINT ODD, I learned 14 new words. Here they are: PURLING, ASPERGILLUM, RECONDITE, TAINTER, GREENSWARD, CRENELLATED, MELANGE, VOLPLANED, CELADON, JACARANDA (tree), FINIAL, ANTIMACASSAR, AMARANTH, TRAVERTINE.
SERIES NOTE
Depending upon how you count the books, this is actually the 7th or 8th book in the series. Some fans consider
Odd Interlude: A Special Odd Thomas Adventure not really part of the main series, and refer to that book as book #4.5. Using that numbering system, this is the seventh book. If you include ODD INTERLUDE as a separate book in the series, then this is actually #8 in the series. In the last chapter, Odd Thomas himself notes that he penned seven memoirs before this book, thus making SAINT ODD number eight.
Note: I have no connection to either the author or the publisher.

Almost--But Not Quite--There.
By Chrystalia99
Odd Thomas is, without a doubt, one of the most endearing and enduring characters in the modern horro/thriller/para-normal genre--and Dean Koontz has carried Odd's tale as beautifully in this book as he did in the earlier books in the series. I did notice there were fewer "jewels" in this one--those surprising snippets and turns of phrase that catch you unawares when you reach them. There are fewer jewels in this book--but those there are glow all the brighter for their rarity.
Koontz is a word smith with very little (if any) true competition in his genre--in fact, for his use of rich subtext and complex emotional landscapes, the only writers who come close in my opinion would be Sparks (particularly The Wedding) who is NOT in this genre-- and Stephen King on his more coherent and less sanguinary days :-).
Like all of Koontz's work, the characters in this book shine--beyond that, they glow. They have grown through the course of the series, and though the ending was on the macro scale absolutely set in stone, the circumstances surrounding it were fluid enough to allow for some rather inventive details. Even though I knew how it would end, I was still almost surprised when it ended as expected. I wished for something--more. I'm not even entirely sure what was "missing" from this ending--it is something so subtle I really can't name it. But--I know it's there.

Good going as usual, Dean Koontz! :)
By B. Jackson
This in my opinion is an excellent finale to Dean Koontz's "Odd Thomas" series. I'd already read a hardback copy from my local library, but wanted my own copy. :)
When my new paperback copy of "Saint Odd" arrived, I re-read it 'cause it'd been a little while since I'd read the library-copy. It was still good. And it was delivered on time, too. :)
(One of the main reasons that I like doing business with Amazon.com.)
