Praise for Odd Thomas:
‘A read-at-a-sitting novel with a terrific final twist’ Observer
Product Description
The second graphic novel adventure featuring Dean Koontz’s hugely popular character, Odd Thomas.
It’s almost Halloween in Pico Mundo, and that means it’s time for the annual Safe Halloween Party, hosted by Police Chief Porter. All seems perfectly normal – until Odd catches sight of the ghost of a young girl who seems to be trying to join in the festivities.
Odd’s next clue that something threatens his peaceful town is the appearance of a swarm of bodachs – supernatural beings who herald some deadly event. With the help of his girlfriend, Stormy, and some vital information from the ghost of Elvis Presley, will Odd be able to forestall disaster?

Odd is on our side is a Graphic novel starring Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas. It is set some time before the first full novel, giving us a peek into what it means to spend a Halloween in Pico Mundo.
In the previous graphic novel, In Odd We Trust, we were introduced to the graphic renditions of Odd Thomas, Stormy Llewellyn and Chief Porter, this time we get to see what Ozzie Boone and the Bodachs look like, or at least the artist's interpretation of them.
The story itself is good, although much shorter than what we are normally used to in the main books. I read it entirely in a single sitting. It revolves around Halloween in Pico Mundo, which is different from Halloween everything else. When Odd discovers a few Bodachs roaming around the city, he sets out to investigate. And what does it have to do with the ghost of a little girl that is set on trick or treating in the afterlife?
As a bonus, there are a few pages at the end where the artist and writer walk us through the thought processes behind coming up with character appearances, plot ideas, and all the feedback given by Dean Koontz. Interesting peek into the process, in my opinion.
For those who are bashing this book because "they didn't realize it was a graphic novel", Good God, please read the product description before submitting a review. The book description clearly says it's a Graphic Novel. I bought it fully knowing it was a graphic novel and was very pleased with it.

Yes! It's a graphic novel and it's wonderful! I love Dean Koontz books and this is a good piece to add to my collection. Perhaps, before you buy something you need to research more to know all the features of the product, and in this particular case to know that "Odd is on our side" is a graphic novel. In conclusion, I love it and I recommend it!

An Odd title with an Odd lead character. Yep, that's the characters name and whilst most people are aware of the Odd titles by Dean Koontz, a great many haven't yet come across the graphic novel versions (of which this is the second) which are just as delightful. It's definitely something quirky; it's a title that I got a lot of fun from and it's one that adds to the rich tapestry that Dean has woven within his writing. A seriously good piece of escapism that will please, as well as occupy the reader's thoughts when away from its pages. Back that up with a Moreish attitude and you know that the previous novels won't be far off a reread.

Disappointing
Like other customers I hadn't read any reviews for this "book". If I had I would not have purchased it, it is more of a comic than a book. Read more

I found this book very difficult to read. If you are expecting a text format then this is not for you. The book is done in comic book style with boxes and balloons. Read more

Very disapointed.
The discription of the novel was given as graphic, i took that to mean very descriptive, however it actually meant that it was a comic book type novel. Read more

Looking foreward to one of Dean Koontz's books? Then do not buy this. It is a comic book version, ok if you are 10 years old but not for someone looking foreward to curling up with... Read more
