This was really good the story and the Odd was super

Having been waiting for this for about 5 months, ever since I saw Odd Hours was to be released, I was quite excited the other day to finally get my hands on it. At first opening it, the art struck me as a bit , well, odd...but after reading the first few panels, it works very well for this story and for the characters. It was very nice to see Odd, Stormy, Terri, Chief Porter and even Elvis as I had imagined them in my mind many times before.

The story is, in comparison to the books, quite simple, as there is no in depth analysis of what Odd is thinking during the events most of the time like in the novels. This is the only flaw that I can find, but given the format this was done in, a very understandable one.

It's wonderful, yet sad at the same time, seeing the interactions between Odd and all the friends in Pico Mundo that he has, as we know that he does eventually leave and Stormy does eventually part ways with Odd. However, despite this, the character interaction is wonderful, just as in the books, and you really get drawn into the story by looking instead of imagining.

While it all ends too quickly, I hope that there may be manga adaptations of the novels currently out already. I would love to see this.

All in all, a great title with but one flaw, if you are able to accept the fact you have to use less imagination this time around. And if you can also deal with what small amount of Elvis we are dealt :D

Although this is an interesting book, I would have liked to have known it was a graphic novel before I purchased it. Not exactly my style of reading. The excerpt you read is actually from the first Odd Thomas book.
