Wow Dean Koontz's imagination is really out there. If you enjoyed [book:Odd Thomas|14995], you will definitely like this one. It's quite a bit more supernatural-ish than the first one but Koontz really pulls it together and makes it almost believable.
Odd Thomas's friend Danny is kidnapped and his father murdered. Of course, Odd feels obligated to search (using his psychic magnetism) for his friend since Danny has something called brittle bone syndrome (actually it has a huge medical name which I can't spell) and his person is extremely fragile. The person who kidnaps him believes Odd is capable of strange psychic phenomena (sp?) which they are desperate to experience first hand. The kidnapper flees in such a way as to prove Odd's abilities to herself before she unleashes further evil on both Odd and Danny.
I enjoyed the mystery and the chase but the wacky kidnapper was so far out there that some of it was beyond ridiculous but funny nonetheless.
