Reader’s Note
7 out of 10
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.

Odd Thomas reviewed by @commuterfiction
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.6 out of 10@commuterfiction
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

The Overstory reviewed by @dnf_diaries
Finished, and I don't finish much. The opening section is eight short stories and it's the best thing I read all last year; the novel that grows out of it is baggier and I forgave it. Eight.8 out of 10The Overstory
Never Let Me Go reviewed by @dnf_diaries
Finished, then sat in the car a while before going in. Eight. He tells you what it is early on and it doesn't help at all.8 out of 10Never Let Me Go
