Not for young readers, 2004-08-07
My son and I recently met the author at a book signing, and he recommended this book to my son as being for his age group (10 years old). He assured me that there was no blood/gore in the book, and as he is a former minister, I bought the book. My son was upset to see that the characters often said "hell" and "damn" (two words he knows he is not allowed to use) as well as taking the Lord's name in vain, and stories set in bars. My son was uncomfortable reading the book, and refused to finish it. I am disappointed that the author felt he had to resort to this type of language in a children's book, and I will not be buying anything else by him. I guess a book written by a minister is still not a guarantee that the book is appropriate for children. Too bad.

Nominee/Finalist for the Bram Stoker Award for Young Adults, 2003-08-22
One of five nominees for horror genre's highest award, the Bram Stoker. In June 2004 the winner was announced (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix). Even Odder was also a ForeWord Magazine finalist for Best Juvenile/Young Adult Fiction Book of 2004. Profanity is limited to the occasional "damn" and "hell" as utterances of surprise, which makes it a collection of stories that adults, young adults (12-18) and most middle readers (9-12)can enjoy. Its predecessor, Odd Lot, won 9 awards, and its sequel, Oddest Yet, is up for the Bram Stoker for Young Readers in June 2005.
