i just finished the taking today...got it the day it came out and i was very pleased with it - AKA i loved it....then again i love pretty much every DK book. the end wasnt as big as a shocker as i was expecting it but i still enjoyed it thoroughly...annnyyy wayy...i was just curious to see what other fans thought of it because there were so many different opinions of Odd Thomas....
My favorite 'quote' from the book: Yet, as was her nature, she still had hope. Her heart clutched like a fist around a nugget of hope; and if not as much as a nugget, then at least a pebble; and if not a pebble, a grain. but around a single grain of sand, an oyster builds a pearl.

Just finished The Taking myself. Loved it. It has been awhile since DK has had me freaked out. This one did it. How's this for ambiance, I started the book at about 10 PM at night, the house was quiet and about 50 pages in a huge thunderstorm rolled in to my home town. Talk about freaky (read the book and you'll understand). Great page turner and a little different than the average DK book. Again, loved it!!

Finally got my hands on the book. It was good indeed, but not as good as I expected. It could have been longer and that would have helped. Otherwise it had a good plot and good characters. I love all the freaky and mysterious things that happened, such as the things they saw in the mirror and the doll talking, that was crazy.

I loved this book!!!!!! When I got to the part where she understands who/what the winged monster was, I actually laid the book on my bed and said out loud "you fooled me'!!!! For those of you that do not know the Bible, read Revelations, I imagine DK already has!! He did change things quite a bit, but for his book it all fit.Fabulous book....throughoutthe book I just knew there were aliens in our lands! I would love for him to write a sequel.......

I feel that this book had a very promising beginning - although it had resemblance's to other books. I was a little disappointed with the way the ending was going - BUT the last few chapters redeemed the book in my eyes. |
