If you liked ‘Odd Thomas’, then this book is for you. Instead of a Fry Cook we have Jimmy Tock, a baker. Instead of being able to see the dead, we have a prediction for five terrible days in Jimmy’s life.
Jimmy Tock is under siege by deranged clowns and aerialists from a circus that first came into town the day he was born. He has his ‘five terrible days’ listed on the back of a circus pass and prepares as best he can to overcome each event with the help and love of his beloved extended family.
Total rubbish but enormous fun, very much written tongue in cheek, it becomes almost philosophical towards the end about what we should make of our lives and not what we should expect life to give us.
I imagine that Dean Koontz is a very warm person because it oozes from his writing. I really enjoyed it for the light read I was expecting.
