This is an unusual addition to my blog because of its format. Odd Interlude is a novella that has been broken into three parts. Furthermore, I think, at this time, that it is only available as an ebook. In addition, while this book could be read as a standalone, it will make a lot more sense to you if you start with the very first book, simply titled Odd Thomas. If you haven't been introduced to Odd Thomas yet, then you are missing out. Odd is an extremely likeable character who wants nothing more than to live a simple, ordinary life as a fry cook, or perhaps a tire salesman. Unfortunately for Odd, as his name suggests, he is anything but ordinary. Odd has the ability to see dead people....no this isn't The Sixth Sense. Odd can see the lingering dead, but they can't speak to him. He also has other supernatural gifts, such as psychic magnetism. If he thinks about someone he wants to find and he keeps moving, he will move to where that person is located. Odd also seems to be drawn to places where great human tragedies are going to happen. He is compelled to try to prevent these events from happening, sometimes at great personal loss to himself. There is so much about Odd Thomas that I don't want to give away, but he is definitely a character worth reading about. He always seems to have interesting non-living companions that hang around him, and he keeps a positive, humorous outlook through his adventures.
