Summary

Audie Award Nominee, Best Thriller/Suspense Category, 2013

Once presided over by a flamboyant Hollywood mogul during the Roaring ’20s, the magnificent West Coast property known as Roseland is now home to a reclusive billionaire financier and his faithful servants. And, for the moment, it’s also a port in the storm for Odd Thomas and his traveling companion, the inscrutably charming Annamaria.

In the wake of Odd’s most recent clash with lethal adversaries, the opulent manor’s comforts should be welcome. But there’s far more to Roseland than meets even the extraordinary eye of Odd, who soon suspects it may be more hell than haven.

A harrowing taste of Roseland’s terrors convinces Odd that it’s time to hit the road again. Still, the prescient Annamaria insists that they’ve been led there for a reason. Just how deep and dreadful are the mysteries Roseland and her masters have kept for nearly a century? And what consequences await whoever is brave, or mad, enough to confront the most profound breed of evil? Odd only knows. Like his acclaimed creator, the irresistible Odd Thomas is in top-notch form - as he takes on what may well be the most terrifying challenge yet in his curious career.

Odd apocalypse

Really well read, story was good, seemed a little padded out in places. Not quite as good as the other Odd books but still worth a listen

Excellent!!

Very enjoyable book. Even better than I expected, David Aaron Baker is superb with his narration. I'll be looking for more read by him.

Odd bliss

So another odd Tomas book

And another great story.

The thing I love about odd Thomas books is you don't have to try to hard.

It's all so well written without over complicating the plot or adding loads of unimportant characters, who's name I can never remember.

Don't get me wrong I do love the game of thrones books and other books that want to describe every inch of a room.

But sometimes you want to just chill out and relax in to a book.

And all the odd Thomas books do this with ease. Some may say the plot doesn't really explain all that happens but life isn't always explained, and as the books are from odd Thomas's veiw, he can't explained everything.

The book is full of odds wit and you can't help chuckle to your self ( even though people look at you as off your nuts, while your on the train)

I Totaly recommend this book of your looking for a couple of days off, after a 20hr epic book.

But for me now im back to concentrating on another epic, but will be looking out for the next odd Thomas (relax) book

I just love Odd.

It was much like all Odd Thomas books I have read prior to this title. I find myself immensed in his world so I smile, laugh out loud and I have a tear from time to time. You either love Odd, or you learn to. But Dean Koontz is a great story teller.

Lacks the Koontz magic

An abrupt start, bland storytelling - is this even by the same man that brought us Odd Thomas, Lightning, False Memory, or By The Light Of The Moon? I'm having a hard time getting into this story, I keep listening knowing what the author is capable of, but I'm already at chapter 12 and...



Come on, Mr Koontz, I know you can do so much better.

ramblings

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

back to the good old days of Deans work

Would you ever listen to anything by Dean Koontz again?

yes I'm a fan of his earlier work

What about David Aaron Baker’s performance did you like?

yes he did the best he could with the material involved.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Odd Apocalypse?

I would have scrapped the entire book!
