Best Book Ever!

i bought this book for a dime at a yard sale a few years ago. since then ive read it about 4 1/2 times. it is the best book ever written. i couldnt put it down, even after finishing it!!! i think that it would make a great horror film (hint hint to anyone reading this who is in the movie business!) but anyway, if you enjoy blood and gore and ancient demons definately pick up this book. in fact try to take it out of your local library. youre sure to buy it soon after!!!

found it after 19 years

When I was younger I read a book that I really enjoyed and spent years trying to remember what the title was. I could remember all of the character's and the setting but not the title. Well , thanks to modern computer's and the internet , I now know that book was Cat's Cradle and I am so happy to have the chance to read it again. It really is a gory novel , but that is what I loved about it the first time and what I still find interesting about it now , even after 19 years. Excellent gore novel. 5 stars.

A terrifying tale ....

Here's the description from the back of this book to help you decide if this book is for you: "No one knew where she had come from. She was just a scrap of a girl clinging to a black cat with eerie yellow eyes. A lost child or an orphan, maybe. It was a miracle she had survived on Eden Mountain at all. Suddenly strange things began to happen in placid Ruger County, bizarre killings that the police couldn't solve. Horrifying accidents that the people couldn't comprehend. An insatiable beast was stalking their lovers' lanes, their swimming holes, and their children. No one noticed how quickly the little girl's pale cheeks turned pink with health. How her frail body filled out with sleek, lithe muscles and feline grace. And no one noticed that at night her innocent blue eyes turned an eerie, evil yellow ..."

Cat's cradle

Fast-past action and quick and clever dialouge keep you on the edge of your seat with William W. Johnstone's Cat's cradle. The book's story is comprised of three different books. The story consists of blood- bath killing sprees. This is a fiction book that should be rated Pg-13. The book is about a 1/2 cat, 1/2 girl, which goes out and kills many people throughout Ruger County. I think this is a gtreat horror book, but I wouldn't suggest a 13 year old or under to read it.

A NONSTOP MASTERPIECE

This book was one of the best I ever read. The contents of the book was a switch to what I thought. The idea Satan versus God is one of the best. I actually felt like Dan Garret was a real part of my life.
