Creature

Rating:
Summary: One of my FAVORITE!!
Review: I have read everything John Saul has written and I still reminisce about "Creature". Everything that makes John Saul so wonderful at what he does is embodied in this book. I say that it might be my favorite. But some of his others rank right up there. (e.g. GodPlayer, Brainchild, Shadows) He creates such a unique atmosphere and makes you feel apart of the story. I read "Creature" when it first came out and poured through it quickly as if from starvation. I will definately read it again and again!

Summary: A good read
Review: I liked this book because of some unexpected twists that John Saul is capable of doing. Keep the books coming Mr. Saul!!!

Summary: Good book sad ending.
Review: I liked this book. Although it is very prdictable I still wanted to read and see if I was right. (I was) I did like the charecters and i thought they were well written. I cared what happend to them. A few unexpected twists towards the end for a book so predictable. A good read if you have nothing else to do.

Summary: Not one of Saul's best
Review: I love John Saul and read a lot of his books but this one was dissappointing. It was very predictable and not as scary as his others. Unless you just read everything by Saul I suggest you pass this one by and get the Homing or the God Project.

Summary: Awful! Awful! Awful!
Review: I personally found this book dreadful. It was very slow to develop. Half of the book is spent on football and setting up the postcard town. It would have saved me some time to immagine a perfect corporate created town, then skip to the middle of the book and start the story there.

Summary: Gratuitous violence.....
Review: I read this book back in the 7th grade and I have no idea why. It presents a small town in the middle of the colorado mountains I think. A strange company there is turning the top football players stronger with the use of biogenetic engineering but there is a consequence. Extreme violence and apathy results and leads to worse. The violence is a little much at times but overall it is a good horror book.

Summary: started off very good, but gradually worsened
Review: I really wanted to like John Saul when I was a teenager and obsessed Koontz, V. C. Andrews, and the like . . .but he's really not that good.

Summary: it ain't shakespeare
Review: I was going to trash this book, but I've changed my mind. John Saul writes books that fall into that elusive category, the good bad novel. I mean, by halfway through this thing, I recognized that it was bad on a cosmic scale. It has plot holes you could drive a semi through, and dialogue that seems to have been written by pre-schoolers who'd been dosed on acid and forced to read "Sweet Valley High" novels. But I still finished the damn thing. Hell, I even read another John Saul novel before I finally learned my lesson. Be warned, this guy makes Stephen King sound like Shakespeare. But he will entertain you, at least until you have time to realize what you've been reading.
