Sleepwalk

Rating:
Summary: More than meets the eye
Review: 21-hour flights to Australia can be a tedious affair, but thanks to John Saul's sleepwalk, I managed to stay entertained.

This book contains a lot more than meets the eye. The back cover description is a little on the cheesy side, something about a person who hates teenagers, those troublemakers, they must die!
But Saul weaves together great characters and great suspense into something that gradually builds into a truly horrifying concept: The evils that can grow from mass corporate greed and the extent to which it's lords will go to turn everyone into loyal minions and servants.

Especially interesting are the chapters about Borrego oil and it's struggles with their Union. Well done Mr. Saul!

Summary: John Saul mezmorizes readers everywhere!
Review: I absolutly loved this book. I had never even heard of Jhon Saul before, and there I was, at my schools book fair, buying this book. I read it and at once became mezmerized. I could not put the book down. My teachers yelled at me during my classes becasue I was reading Sleepwalk under the table. I read it during lunch instead of hanging out with my friends, I hardly got my homework done, I was so intent on finishing the book and finding out who done it. I stayed up late into the night reading, and read while eating breakfast... all the time. When I finally finsihed it I saw my grades had dropped tremenously, but I fixed all that. This book is A must read!

Summary: Great, John Saul's the greatest!!
Review: I really liked the book, it was my first John Saul book and ever since, I've been reading them. He's my favorite author, even better than Stephen King. Read it!

Summary: Slow-Moving Thriller
Review: I'm not sure why this book has got so many good reviews. I found it to be extremely lacking in imagination and originality. Saul didn't show me anything new with this book and I wasn't inspired whilst reading it. In fact, I felt myself laboring all the way through it. I did not feel for any of the characters and the ending was awful - a definite cop out. I hope other novels by Saul prove to be better than this one or I will have to give up on John all together.

Summary: A very suspenceful and well writen book
Review: This book was the best I have ever read. It is about a person who hates teenagers. He hates them so much he wants to kill them. All of them. Just when you think you know whats going to happen everthing changes. Jon Saul is the best horror/suspense writer yet I think. He really keeps you turing pages

Summary: Excellent novel
Review: To say that this is a horror novel would be inaccurate because it is in many ways a mystery novel. More precisely put, this novel is a combination of both mystery and horror, mixed with a little mysticism, romance, and some social commentary.

Nevetheless, just because the novel doesn't fit exactly into any of the established genre doesn't make it bad. In fact, this is a an excellent story that will keep you away from doing anything else but finishing this story. It certainly did for me.

The novel does go into certain length to introduce the characters and set up the background, which tend to leave the reader hanging. But once the story pick up, you'll love it. Just have the patience to read the first several chapters, and everything will fall into place afterward.
