Odd Is On Our Side
Written by Fred Van
Lente and Dean Koontz
Illustrations by Queenie Chan
Odd
Thomas can see ghosts. Unfortunately, he also can see bodachs and one
is now one is in his hometown of Pico Mundo, California. What evil is
the bodach attracted to? And can Odd and his girlfriend, Stormy
Llewelyn, stop the evil in time?
ODD IS ON OUR SIDE, like its predecessor IN ODD WE TRUST, is a prequel
to the Odd Thomas series by Dean Koontz. Readers should note that it is
a manga novel and may not appeal to all of the Odd fans out there. The
illustrations by Queenie Chan are simplistic but capture the overall
essence of the characters. In fact, that is part of the joy of this
particular manga series- the illustrations aren't so overdone that they
detract from either the story or the characters themselves.
ODD IS ON OUR SIDE will appeal to Odd Thomas fans who want to see Odd
in a different format. The notes at the end regarding how the character
illustrations and the storyline were developed add a nice touch to the
book. Enjoyable and easily recommended!
