1.0 out of 5 stars A must avoid if you are more than 12 yrs old... Oct 7 2003
By Ami D. Phillips
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I've just put the book down. I'm dumbfounded. The target audience of this book is surely 12 year olds. Anyone over that age, or who has read any decent suspense literature (King, Barker, Koontz -- if you don't know who they are, you'll probably like this book.), is going to be bored out of their minds. The plot is predictable, and the characters one-dimensional.

A Summary of my opinion of the book: If it was a best seller, the books I publish in the future will be on the NY Times Best Seller list for eternity!

Format:School & Library Binding
Cal and June Pendleton, along with their adopted 12-year-old daughter, Michelle, leave their urban lives in Boston for the peaceful, slower paced life Paradise Point has to offer.

Despite the idyllic name and New England locale, Paradise Point is seething with secrets. Set in 1980, the locals fear the century old story of a 12-year-old named Amanda who was blind. Taunted by her peers, Amanda is forced off a cliff to an early death.

Amanda's travails parallel those of Michelle. The former honor student who had no demerits or other negative marks on her previous report cards in Boston does an about face in Paradise Point. Michelle initially makes friends quickly with the local children and shines in the class she attends at Paradise Point. Things change for the worse for her when June gives birth to Jennifer and stories about Amanda and her shadowy history crop up. Michelle, like Amanda is injured in a fall from a cliff. Cal rebuffs her and no longer has anything to do with Michelle. Despondent, Michelle turns her affection to a mysterious doll she finds in a closet. She names the doll Amanda and suddenly...Amanda's fury grows. Several younger children with whom Michelle has made friends die in bizarre accidents. Michelle herself has "foggy vision" when she is with "Amanda." She claims to have met the original Amanda who died in 1880 and that she and the dead child share the doll named after her.

But was Amanda real? Was a blood stain really in the potter's shed on Michelle's property? If so, whose blood is it? Who left the mysterious sketches? Was Amanda really dead or had she somehow been reanimated? Was Michelle imagining things?

The parallel travails of two girls, separated by a century in time makes for some very riveting reading.

2.0 out of 5 stars Off the mark Sep 15 2001
By Diane Davis
Format:Mass Market Paperback
This book has lots of spooky elements - a ghost, an indestructible doll, an old man with family secrets, automatic drawing, a mysterious stain that won't go away. Any of these ingredients might be a good core for a thriller, but they don't come together in any meaningful way. Throw in a well-adjusted child turned instantly neurotic, a maladjusted dad, whose fragile psyche could never have survived medical school, and an ineffectual mother and you've got motives as murky as the fog that heralds the ghost's arrival. The plot revolves around "little children" who - at 12 - inexplicably speak and act like eight-year-olds. There isn't enough reality here to make the supernatural aspects effective.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read.....
This was my first read of his books. I normally like to read Graham Masterton because of his total gory stories, but no one like John Saul can make it more sinister and suspenful. Read more
