Another great book. I love Odd Thomas. I found him funny and charming.
Odd Thomas lives always between two worlds. He can see the lingering dead and knows that even in chaos, there is order, purpose, and strange meaning that invites our understanding but often thwarts it.
Intuition has brought Odd Thomas to the quaint town of Magic Beach on the California coast. As he waits to learn why he has been drawn there, he finds work as a cook and assistant to a once-famous film actor who, at eighty has become an eccentric with as long a list of fears as he has stories about Hollywood s golden days.
Like the previous Odd books, this contains some clever language and some rather entertaining non-cliches in Odd's thoughts.Also, this contains bad guys with poorly explained motives.
And... and there's a golden retriever in it... a pretty neat ghost dog.
I can't wait for the next one.

Boo and I followed the concrete boardwalk. He was a German shepherd mix, entirely white. The moon traveling horizon to horizon moved no more quietly than did Boo. Only I was aware of him, because he was a ghost dog.

Consequently, Hutch feared contracting the ravenous germ. From time to time, like a dour character in a tale by Poe, he huddled in his lamplit study, brooding about his fate, about the fragility of his flesh, about the insatiable appetite of his microscopic foe. He especially dreaded that his nose might be eaten away.

I still possessed both legs and both eyes, and even my hair looked all right when I rose that Wednesday morning in late January. If I returned to bed sixteen hours later, having lost all of my hair but nothing else, I would consider the day a triumph. Even minus a few teeth, I’d call it a triumph.

His deep and rounded voice rolled an ominous note into every syllable: “Mars is warming.” “We don’t live on Mars.” “It’s warming at the same rate as the earth.” “Were you planning to move to Mars to escape global warming?”

Beside his plate stood a bottle of Purell sanitizing gel. He lavished it on his hands not only before and after eating, but also at least twice during a meal.
