"I wanted to read the book because I had read Odd Thomas, the first part, and just fell in love with the quirky character and this nerd who could do things, and you just loved him. And I couldn't wait for the second one to come out, and I don't know how this author spits 'em out every 30 seconds, but it came out really quick! It's a book about an average Joe who is miserable because he has a gift, and the gift is that he can communicate with dead people and can tell when bad things are gonna happen. I think at times, there have been times where I felt kind of isolated, and the geek, and wanting to be alone, and the unpopular kid. I've never had some kind of supernatural gift; you can relate to the dork that is the hero in a sense. I think most people want that to happen, or I wanted it to happen, for him to be the hero because stuff happened to him. I believe in some supernatural things. I can't say 100 percent that I believe this man sees Elvis and dead people. And it's interesting because of my psychological background; I used to treat patients and I used to see everything, people talking about people hiding in their closet, and. And so I think people - he might think that he sees things - and at times I do think that supernatural things happen. I'm not sure if I believe 100 percent everything could happen that's in the book, but I think there's a possibility that some of that weirdness could happen. It's just a great story of a hero who is superhuman but human and flawed in so many ways. I think I would give it a four out of five because I really liked the story. I love the character, and if I had not read the prequel, then I would probably give it a five; but having that bias, then I'd give it a four."
