Query: A lovable character, a likeable story

It's hard not to like "Odd Thomas", by that I mean the character himself. He's a sensitive, self-depreciating twenty-year-old who just happens to be able to see and communicate with the dead. Odd's unusual "gift" has left him with a rather heavy burden to bear; the ability to commune with victims of crime (and hopefully find their killers), as well as a knowledge of future tragedies. This foreshadowing of danger is made clear to Odd by his ability to see "bodachs", malevalent, spirit-like creatures who thrive on impending doom. Odd's quest to discover and avert an unknown disaster is well written and interesting, but I did feel the ending was somewhat rushed and underdeveloped. Odd is such a unique and likeable character however, that perhaps we could look forward to his appearance in a sequel.
