Koontzland - Dean Koontz discussion

"Odd Thomas (view spoiler)[ will die in the final book in the series, but I’ve got a big surprise for readers after that and it deals with what comes next for him. (hide spoiler)] So for now, I’ll say no more."

Geez, I haven't even started book one and already his afterlife is in the works. lol

I think I'll add a spoiler alert on post one :-) Sorry if this caused you any trauma.

lol Thanks, Dustin, but no worries. I always click to "view spoiler" even for books I haven't read when I plan to read them later that day/week/month/whenever. I read so many books, and my memory is so bad, that I won't remember "spoiled events" until the moment I read them for myself. My bad memory is handy for this reason. ;-)

Oddly enough, I can't believe that DK will end Brother Odd Series anytime soon. What are the odds?? Surely we have yet to get "Odd Ball"!!

We might get more graphic novels and Odd Ball could be a title possibility :-)

Have there been releases with Oddly Enough or What Are the Odds as titles?

May the Odd be in your favor? ( I know, reaching)

Odd Forces at work

I don't think anyone has to worry about the spoiler alert being from DK. Although the spoiler would make sense, authors aren't known for giving out major plot lines like that prior to the book release.

How DOES the counting go for this series? I have seven books already in my library... (or is it eight?)

1.Odd Thomas
2.Forever Odd
3.Brother Odd
4.Odd Hours
4.5 Odd Interlude
5.Odd Apocalypse
6.Deeply Odd
7.Saint Odd

In Odd We Trust was written in 2008 (graphic novel... I had it with the "regular" novels) after Brother Odd

So, I already have 8 :)

My library program (Delicious Library) doesn't all fractions, so 4.5 won't go in :/

I guess I need to submit a request

I have enjoyed the graphic novels but they took a different path than the regular storyline :-)

It will be a sad day in the publishing industry when Dean Koontz's farewell novel to Odd Thomas is released in December 2014. This series will be greatly missed.

Of course someone named Thomas would think so :-)

I did not know about that. I am not up to date on the ODD books yet but knowing they will end is not fair.

Personally, I am ready for the journey to end :-)

I would love a movie made from Brother Odd. That would be an awesome movie. No spoilers. If you've read it I think u will agree.

I would agree :-) Brother Odd is actually my favorite of series.

Dustin if I was through the whole series I would probably agree with u.

And yet I can hardly wait to read it!

I've read this series twice. Does anyone know if there will be more Odd movies?

I know that I will cry like a baby once I've read the final book. And if Odd Thomas becomes Saint Odd, does that mean they will start naming churches after him?

It will be a sad day indeed.

Saint Odd due out DECEMBER 9TH! Cover looks awesome.

2 new DK books this year !!! That is exciting !!!

So the Odd books finish on an Even number? ;-)

(Maybe Mr K can back to the Snow Man now...?)

I would like to see Odd end up in Moonlight Bay and help Christopher with all the wackiness there. !!! Lol

That would be cool Barbara.

I wonder who's point-of-view we'd follow if Snow met Odd.

Well....Tony.....as good as Dean is with characters and dialog....I think the two of them would team up to deal with the people of Moonlight Bay.....that are changing into something else......so the viewpoint would be from both of them.....Odd always talks about "being drawn to where he is needed" he could be drawn to the Bay!!! I am dying to get back to Christopher's story!! It would be cool !!!
:-)

@Barbara...maybe alternate a chapter between them, that would be interesting!

Huh.... I don't know about that Tony.....it's not Game Of Thrones with so many characters to cover.....Dean Koontz is so good at interaction of his characters in his books.... They all always work together in his books and we the readers see the story thru the characters eyes
:-)

That would be an interesting story, I just finished Odd Interlude and was thinking the same idea.

Amazon has the kindle version of Saint Odd on sale today for $6.99. I just pre-ordered mine. I have no idea how long the deal lasts.

Thanks Jim :-) I am still too old school for this offer but I know many people are e-booking it these days.

Yep ... I went to pre-order as soon as I read Jim's post and found I had already pre-ordered it a while ago and didn't even remember. I am having fun just imagining things like who Annamaria will be and will he tie in Odd and Christopher Snow and all kinds of things. This year will be one great Thanksgiving as I am thankful for getting Saint Odd!

I will pre order but I want the actual book....I will have the whole set in hardback!!! Very excited too!!!!

Oh I thought I was the only one who did that ... get the Kindle copy AND the hardback. Not all books... just some of Koontz. I underline and highlight in them.

I am not reading on a device until books are no longer printed.....and then I will cry about that!! Course saving trees is good too....but I love my books on my bookshelves!!! It's an issue of mine. :/

I preordered the signed book just now.

Where did you order the signed book?

I had a B&N gift certificate. Perfect. I ordered the signed copy yesterday!

That will be really nice "fellow Karen", I am sure you will enjoy the book even more having a signed copy. Congratulations. I sure hope they end up coming out with a Large Print version because that is what all of my hard copy Koontz books are.

For those of you curious about the signed book!

I am worried Dean will get carpal tunnel from signing all those books!

@ Karen B. Did you check? Maybe you can order one.

I like holding all Oddie's books as well. However, I have them in paperback and not hard cover but I still like to have them in book form.
