"Amazing book, I've never read another book like this one. I am simply touched by the writing, and though it may be a book of despicable and gruesome events, I see the true meaning behind it. Accept everybody as a gift wanted or not. Love who you have. Love what you have. Make sure you keep these things with you. Should they leave, do what you can to bring them back."

" Love all of John Saul's books. He focuses on teenagers, at least all the books of his that I've read were that way. I empathized with his lead characters because I always feel like an outsider, which his characters always wind up being. Saul mixes it all up with some Sci-fi to boot. "
— Kyle, 2/19/2014" I read this book as a teenager and I have to say, this is by far still one of the scariest things I have ever read. I sum it up as the Stepford Wives meet the womb. If you want a good thriller, this one you should pick up! "
— Seletta, 2/14/2014" This guy's a major hack. "
— Ben, 2/13/2014" Pretty good story but again a horrible ending...If you don't like stories where the bad guy wins or gets away with everything then don't read this book. "
— Kitty, 2/6/2014" I read this book many years ago (early 80's), so I would not be able to give an accurate review. I had it listed in my records as a very good read. In my early teen years I loved horror stories. My taste in books has changed a lot over the years. "
— Dawn, 2/6/2014" Babys are dying this book was okay , expedt better because of title. "
— Kathy, 2/5/2014" This story was only a little over 300 pages but was pretty boring. I'm guessing that maybe in the early '80s, the genetic engineering and computer critiques were new and fresh and enough to make up for the rest of the story. I thought the writing style was a little amateurish considering how revered Saul is. I'm guessing that maybe his later books are better. "
— Robb, 1/18/2014" Liked the story and especially the ending. Don't want to ruin it for you but It caught me by surprise and that is what I like it books. "
— James, 1/17/2014" Probably the best novel I ever read that didn't involve the Hardy Boys in some way. A great book that I'm very fond of. "
— Larry, 12/20/2013" Enjoyable plot, good story development. Saul is underrated! "
— Brenda, 12/19/2013" good brief well plotted creeps and crawls - satisfying summer read "
— Sandyboy, 11/24/2013" I thought it was pretty good, the plot was a lot like Robin Cook's "
— Patricialogan8, 11/12/2013" The only thing I remember about this book was that I enjoyed reading it, but that it was dark (no surprise there with John Saul). "
— Emily, 3/10/2013" I first read this when I was 12. At the time I thought it was phenomenal. Now that technology has advanced (light-years, it seems), it wasn't as impressive but still an entertaining read. "
— Christine, 1/11/2013" The first of his books that I read. Was hooked from the beginning! "
— Christina, 12/9/2012" A potboiler. Just totally unbelievable. So not worth my time. "
— Anne, 11/4/2012" My favorite John Saul book ever! "
— Julie, 5/20/2012" Interesting concept - secret genetic engineering of super warriors. Quick read but not much depth. "
— Clint, 4/10/2012" my least favorite saul "
— Chris, 12/5/2011" I read this one over 20 years ago, but the ending still sticks with me. The writing is so-so, but I feel the ending was so awesome that it deserves 4-stars. "
— Christi, 11/18/2011" This should be made into a movie. "
— Xavier, 11/15/2011" This one was pretty interesting especially for a Geneticist and him writing it back in the 80's. "
— Olivia, 7/23/2011" THIS BOOK WAS THE SH*T WHEN I WAS 13!<br/><br/>Seriously, back then this was the coolest book I had ever read.<br/><br/>I refuse to revisit the inside of the pages because I KNOW it will not hold up to the standard set in my memory from 28 years ago. "
— James, 3/28/2011" This book had everything to keep you entwined in its pages. I think the part that stood out the most was the ending. It totally took me by surprise. "
— Melissa, 6/19/2010" This should be made into a movie. "
— Xavier, 7/7/2009" Most of the book was so-so. But the ending! Wow! "
— Kharpo7, 4/23/2009" This was the first John Saul book I read and I was hooked on 'em throughout high school. I think they eventually got too twisted for me, but they were riveting for a few years. Still think of this one as my favorite. Would be a great start for a movie! "
— Alyson, 3/15/2009" One of my all-time favorite Saul books and the first one I read... "
— Susan, 1/11/2009" I read this book many years ago (early 80's), so I would not be able to give an accurate review. I had it listed in my records as a very good read. In my early teen years I loved horror stories. My taste in books has changed a lot over the years. "

— Ben, 5/26/2008" my least favorite saul "
— Chris, 4/19/2008" I went through a phase with these creepy sci-fi books when I was about 14. I'm not sure what I would make of it if I read it now. It's not really my thing anymore. But I sure did love it back then. (shiver) "

— Kyle, 2/2/2008" good spooky novel. i went through big John Saul faze when I was about 11-- my mom used to read him a lot. This is a great starting point. "
— Julie, 6/28/2007" I don't even know if this book is good or not, but I REALLY loved it as a kid. We didn't read a whole lot of John Saul in my house -- it was mostly King and Koontz -- but we dipped our toes in the pool. "
