Brother Odd: Book Review

New Brother Odd  Cover

 

There are some books in life that change the way you view the world.  Brother Odd happens to be one of those books for me.

This is the third installment of the ongoing Odd Thomas series, which currently has six books, with the final one coming soon.  For me, Odd has been a likeable character from the start (and I have a not-so-secret crush on this character for no good reason whatsoever).  For those of you who do not know who Odd is, looking back to my posts from May will be useful.

When the book begins, Odd is hiding away in a church because he is having trouble coping with all of the death surrounding him on the outside, but soon trouble follows him there.  And it's heading for the children this time.

There were also plenty of religious talks in this novel, and at the end, there is one thing that may change your mind about God, whether you're an atheist or not, and make you question everything you've ever believed.  While this is a work of fiction, I do believe that what happened in this book could very well happen, and if it does, we're all in trouble.

Odd has changed so much from the first two books, and soon I will begin reading the fourth book, Odd Hours, which is most people's least favorite, so we can see if it changes my mind.

I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars.  If anyone is looking for a character who sees the dead and a plot that blows you away, the Odd Thomas series is the right series for you.
