Odd Thomas

Brother Brigham recently mentioned that this is his favorite book. I have this rule that if someone I know tells me that something is their favorite something (book, movie, ...) I should probably check it out. (So let's see some comments on your favorites)

I dug the book. I wouldn't call it my favorite. I will say that had the author left the last 2 chapters (4 pages maybe) out of the book I would have enjoyed it much more. It's a little like the ending to AI. Personally I dig that movie a lot more if I turn it off when the creepy robot version of Forest Gump's kid gets frozen in the ice able to see, but not reach, his goal (but maybe that's just me).

So go buy a copy, tear out the last 2 chapters (have a friend do it so you don't accidentally read what I think should be the last page) and dig in.

3.5 out of 5 dead people who just can't let go of this life. (I'd give it 4 for the first ending)

LOL at Joe's "favorite person..."! Good to have you back even if you all suck and don't show up to a BBQ that:

A- Jason initiated... then bailed
B- Joe, the guest of honor, was too sick to attend...

Seriously...WTFudge (not that kind of site either).
