ODD THOMAS

First name Odd, last name Thomas. This quirky and touching story of a 20-year-old short-order cook with paranormal abilities is spun with stylistic grace by Dean Koontz, and read in an innocent, unaffected style by David Aaron Baker. The plot is clean and simple, as is the recording quality, yet Odd's bewitching world becomes more and more engrossing. Baker maintains Odd's quiet passion and integrity while death, violence, and heartbreak hover around him. As you listen, you will visualize the everyday people this psychic loves as clearly as he can, and with similar compassion. D.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 04]
