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!
Rating: Summary: One of the most suspenseful books ever! Review: Borrego, New Mexico is a peaceful little desert town. There's just one thing, someone hates teenagers. These trouble makers have to be controlled. Silenced. Forever. He has discovered a way to get back at them. In the night, in their waking hours, whenever. He is a madman with terrifying powers. Soon....he'll draw the children of Borrego beyond the brink of night......
Rating: 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! Martie
Rating: Summary: Good Review: I like John Saul's books a lot. He's my 2nd fav. author. Dean Koontz takes the boat as the best. This book is very typical of other of Saul's books, the teens get the "axe"--so to speak. I liked it, but the end was often hard to follow, maybe it's just me...good friendly read overall. One scene was so detailed (when Jed is crawling through the tunnel) that I had to stop reading, and stretch out my legs for I have a small case of claustrophobia.

Rating: 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!
Rating: Summary: It was a fabulous book. Review: I think Sleepwalk is a really good book. It has mystery, horror, and action all rolled into this one fabulous interesting book. It also has a good plot and an even better ending. I would rate Sleepwalk a ten.
Rating: Summary: Lacking in Imagination 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.
