When the Wind Blows

Rating:
Summary: A very well written book
Review: 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

Summary: Great! But.............
Review: I loved this book. It was so great. The plot was very exciting and suspensful, and the characters were well-developed. We learned their motivations, which is great. I loved the character of Miss Edna. I thought she was spunky, and she made me laugh, though sometimes, she was alittle mean. I also loved the setting of it. The Victorian town,shrouded in legend and mystery. I would have gave it five stars, except that he left a few loose ends, in the book. Such,as why does the wind affect people the way it does? And, who adopted Christie at the end of the story, before the epilouge? Oh, well. Still a suspensful, spooky, book. And a quick read.

Summary: Terrible
Review: The story was awful. Just awful. Underdeveloped characters, boring storyline and just cheesy enough to make me cringe. I got this book on CD for a 15 hour drive and was sorely disappointed about 1/2 hour in. This isn't horror writing at its finest, that's for sure.

Summary: Very Chilling Book
Review: 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.

Summary: Very Chilling Book
Review: This was the first book that I read by John Saul. This book was hard to put down. The characters were captivating. I also liked the folklore of the water babies and how it was tied into the story. From the fist chapter on you are hooked into this story. The only thing I didn't like about this book was the loose ends. For example, who took care of Christy after Miss Diana and why did the wind effect people. Also, why did Esperanza do what she did at the end. This is a must read and I look forward to my next book by John Saul.

Summary: Do you want to be scared?
Review: 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.
