9 out of 10
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.

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 @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

The Haunting of Hill House reviewed by @verity_lane
The first paragraph is the best in the genre and I won't quote past the second line of it. Read with the landing light on, aged 41, no shame whatsoever.9 out of 10The Haunting of Hill House

No plot to protect for once! Bit of a relief and also a bit of a loss? Reciprocity chapter earns its place. The rest I'd already absorbed from twenty years of being sold things.6 out of 10Influence
