"Whats with the negative reviews?"
I thought this returned Odd back to the charecter I like so much in the first book. I did not care for Brother Odd at all, but Odd Hours and Odd Apocalypse have me loving the old Odd once again. I would agree that the the series is taking a move fantasy feel to it then the original stories but I like it.
I would not say this was a book thats plot kept you on the edge of your seat, but it did keep me in my driveway waiting for a good place to stop.
I think this is Odd at his best. Fighting for the strange good in stranger circumstances.
