One of my neighbors named their daughter "Stormy" after Odd Thomas's >!dead!< girlfriend. When I asked him if he and his wife were big fans of the books, he said that they'd never read the books before. But they'd seen the movie.

He told me this several years ago and it still annoys me to this day.

Odd Thomas annoys be to no end. He's a Mary Sue in the worst way. He succeeds at literally everything he does. It's extremely lazy. Oh and he's "quarky".

I've read a lot of Koontz books. If you just think of them like TV movies they're fine.

I really liked Life Expectancy
