Summary: John Saul at his best!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic and intriguing!
Review: As a young girl of sixteen in highschool I was handed this book to read to alleviate my pre-adolescence boredom.I read this book and was immediatetly sucked into Cassie's world and couldn't put the book down.I now search for more of John Saul's work .

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: first rate horror read
Review: Being a fan of horror genre,Dean Koontz in particular,and looking to expand my horizons I picked up the Unwanted.At first,I thought this book to be rather similar to Dean Koontz style,but soon I was proven wrong.John Saul is a very solid writer in his own right,from the first pages he creates suspense that captures you and keeps you turning page after page.Some of the book was a bit predictable,but that made the twists in it so much more enjoyable.In the end I found it to be alltogether somewhat darker then Koontz writing,with somewhat ambiguous characters,neither good nor bad,but walking the gray territory in between.There were other differences,which I can't list at the risk of giving away some of the plot and overall I was very impressed.I will certainly be checking out more of John Saul's books and I highly recommend this book to any fan of the horror genre or just a good fast paced read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another Good John Saul Book
Review: For some reason, I always get this book mixed up with "Second Child," probably because of the similar plot lines--a young woman is orphaned and then taken in by her distant family in New England. Plus it's been several years since I've read this book (sometime during my high school or middle school years), which adds to the confusion.

Anyway, the similarities between the two books are fairly obvious, in that the protagonist, 15-year-old Cassandra "Cassie" Winslow, loses her mother in a car crash in California and is consequently sent to live with her estranged father and his new family in False Harbor, Massachusetts, a setting that gives "The Unwanted" its somewhat Puritan/witch trial charm. It's here that a triangle of psychic power is reawakened between Cassie, Eric Cavanaugh (her 16-year-old neighbor), and Miranda Sikes (the local bag lady/witch who's been haunting her dreams lately). Soon Cassie becomes aware of powers she never knew she had--powers that are dangerous enough to kill. ("Carrie," anyone?)

"The Unwanted" is certainly a must-read if you're a Saul fan and/or enjoy supernatural horror. This is one of many good books by him.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: scary but goooooood
Review: I confuse it with "The second Child" too. I was just looking here for the plot to actually see if I am right about it or not. I was. It's a great book, like all of JS. I can't let any of his books down untill I finish them. I love them all, they are breathtaking. But did you observe that all of them (Ok, all I've read) have to do with children? that makes everything more scary. "Punish the sinners" is yet the best!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Can't get enough!
Review: I first had the privalage of reading this book about 10 years ago, It was the very first J. Saul book I had ever had the opportunity to read. Needless to say I was very impressed.Since then I have read All of his book. And Am patiently awaiting his next release. I am a avid readerof many different Auther, types, & styles. I have not ran across many writers or books for that matter that have Kept me that glued to each page until the very end. (I literally didn't put it down until I was through with it. LATE NIGHT)

Rating: 5 stars
