  <default_description>&#8220;Meet a young man named Odd . . . who helps the dead get even.&quot;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;From the infinite imagination of #1 &lt;i&gt;New York Times &lt;/i&gt;bestselling author Dean Koontz comes the suspenseful graphic-novel debut of a natural-born hero with a supernatural twist.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Odd Thomas is a regular nineteen-year-old with an unusual gift: the ability to see the lingering spirits of the dead. To Odd, it&#8217;s not such a big deal. And most folks in sleepy Pico Mundo, California, are much more interested in the irresistible pancakes Odd whips up at the local diner. Still, communing with the dead can be useful. Because while some spirits only want a little company . . . others want justice. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;When the sad specter of a very frightened boy finds its way to him, Odd vows to root out the evil suddenly infecting the sunny streets of Pico Mundo. But even with his exceptional ability&#8211;plus the local police and his pistol-packing girlfriend, Stormy, backing him&#8211;is Odd any match for a faceless stalker who&#8217;s always a step ahead . . . and determined to kill again?</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I really liked this. I see people rave about the Odd Thomas series all over, and thought it would be good to ease into it, or just try it out, with no novel committment. It was interesting enough that I will seek out the novels. I don't think we were given enough details in the graphic novel, but at...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62082774">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's not that I didn't like this book, it's the fact that it turned out to be a graphic novel, leaving nothing to the imagination.  The idea was ok, but I much prefer reading, and seeing Odd Thomas in my own mind's eye, not as someone else pictures him.  Rather diappointing.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Two of my favorites rolled into one - Graphic novel and Odd Thomas. I was pleased with this book overall and would like to see another. The art style was not my favorite but still very good. I hope that Mr Koontz writes another soon.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is in comic book format. The only reason I read it was that it was about Odd Thomas and I love the charactor.  It's interesting, but not worth the effort I think.  The story was very diluted because of the format. I wasn't that impressed.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I hope Koontz' legit novels are better-plotted than this graphic pastime. I don't consider myself overly picky when it comes to the plot of comics...but I found every character's behavior excessively odd...they weren't living characters, they were stuck in the grooves of a plot that lacked believabi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/27236250">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a prequel to the Odd series of books written by Dean Koontz in a graphic novel form. I enjoyed it and it was a very quick read, I liked seeing the characters visualized before the series. Also, I read in the back that there is a plan for 6 books in the series, so 2 more are coming.]]></body>
