Customer Reviews

Great story

This was my first book on cd. I usually buy the books, but since I seem to be spending more time in my car commuting, I figure why not give it a try! Boy am I glad I did. The story itself was quite interesting and was finding myself not wanting to get out of my car. The story is told by Joyce Bean and she was a great reader. I will be looking for other stories as read by her. Just gave the cd to a friend and so far she too agrees. enjoy!

Great Book

If you are a John Saul reader, you don't need a review. You already know how good he is. If you are not a reader already, then get this book and get started. You will be hooked like the rest of us already are.

Very Chilling Book

This was my seventh Saul book. I first discovered him with The Right Hand of Evil. I don't think I can forget this book. The thing about crying was pretty powerful, so many parents cant stand children crying and they get yelled at hit and/or abused for crying. Also the Indian superstition was interesting whether or not its true. (I am very interested in folklore and superstitions as a study mostly.) And being from Los Angeles the "wind blowing" reminded me of the Santa Anas, which is mentioned in the book also.

Do you want to be scared?

This was the first John Saul book I read and it truly scared me silly! I can honestly say I didn't sleep well at night for a good two weeks! From that moment, I was a devoted fan of John Saul's work. He's an excellent writer and this book was one of the best ones he has written.

A very well written book

I Have been a John Saul fan for many years and thought that this was a very well written book. I think it is one of John Saul's best. The character Christine Lyons is very well developed in my opinion. A very chilling book. I would recomend it to other readers
