Reader’s Note
6 out of 10
Odd Thomas works as a fry cook in Pico Mundo and sees dead people who cannot speak. He follows a man who is trailed by shapes he calls bodachs and tries to work out what is going to happen at the mall. Fine.

Odd Thomas reviewed by @verity_lane
Nope. Not summarising it, not describing him, not even telling you what he does for a living, because chapter one does all three and does them better than I would.9 out of 10@verity_lane
Odd Thomas reviewed by @dnf_diaries
Picked it up in a holiday cottage because there was nothing else in the house, expected to abandon it by lunch, and didn't put it down until it was done. Genuinely surprised. Seven; the tone slips at the end, but he's good company.7 out of 10@dnf_diaries
