"This was the first John Saul book I can remember reading...and I read it in one sitting. Most of his earlier books are very suspenseful but unfortunately, the newer ones seem to be lacking some of originality and writing skill that made me want to read his books in the first place. "

The Unwanted Listener Reviews
-
" Fast-paced, if not fairly unimaginative, "thriller" features a transplanted teenager who develops an odd bond to the town pariah is able to overcome lack of real terror or intrigue by its speed. Perfect for anyone who has been reading "heavier" fiction and wants some cotton candy as an interlude. "

" Not typically my choice of reading......witchcraft isn't generally a favorite topic of mine. The story was good though, and kept me turning the pages. "

" My first book by John Saul and I got hooked! Since then I've been buying Saul's novels as per availability. Read this book when I was in sophomore year and the situation where no seems to care and notice your existence appealed to me. I can relate to the situation back then. "

" John Saul continues to keep me in suspense while I am reading his books. This is another one of his great thrillers. I was not expecting the ending and it was kind of left in a cliffhanger. Very enjoyable read. "

" Boring, predictable story with animal abuse. Fail. "
— Ella, 11/3/2013 -
" Some of the best writing I have read in a long time, reminded me of Stephen King the way I got into the characters. I had a hard time putting it down. Many twists and turns. Definite must read! "

" This is like the first real book I have ever read at first it was kinda hard to understand I guess cause I wasnt really into many books back then....but by the end I liked it I was kinda sad when it ended "
— Cassandra, 8/2/2013 -
" I didn't think this was a very good book. It wasn't suspenseful for me and the ending was dreadful. Doesn't the reader want to know what eventually happens to the main character of the story (Cassie)? Less than impressed. I also own "The Right Hand of Evil" but I am not sure I will read it now. "

" It was a very dark and obscure story line. It got my attention but it had an off ending. I would have given it 1 1/2 but since I can't, I gave it 2. "

" Many Saul novels are very alike in content and context. This one is no exception, but the pace and tempo to the story help overcome it. <br/> <br/>This is an intriguing look into a small town with more than its share of oddities. "
