From Publishers Weekly

The latest horror novel from consistently bestselling Saul ( Suffer the Children ; Hellfire ) is set in Silverdale, Colo., a company-town variation on Spielberg surburbia. There, conglomerate TarrenTech provides the high school teams with every advantage, including a high-tech sports clinic. Dr. Martin Ames beefs up the brawny, aggressive teenagers, and it's to him that newcomer Sharon Tanner goes for answers when her gentle son Mark turns into a belligerent jock overnight. This slick, high-concept thriller, which might have been titled Stepford High , won't surprise anyone, but it should please the author's fans as it continues Saul's focus on children as the vehicles and victims of unnatural forces. 100,000 first printing; $100,000 ad/promo; Literary Guild selection.

From Library Journal

Another in the horror sub-genre of dreadful experiments performed on an unwitting small town. The idyllic Silverdale, Colorado is the site of Tarrentech Industries' research facility. Tarrentech has rebuilt the fading Silverdale, providing jobs and more, and now virtually owns the town and its inhabitants. But Tarrentech is conducting growth-hormone experiments on the high school football team, under the guise of a vitamin and exercise regimen. The boys begin to display amazing strength, and an almost murderous aggression both on the field and off. Tarrentech covers up by directing the boys to kill anyone who questions their behavior--even their own families. Entertaining for readers who want horror/suspense fiction of any kind, or where Saul's best selling novels ( The God Project , Suffer the Children ) are in demand. Literary Guild selection.

5.0étoiles sur 5 A riveting thriller, Oct. 1 2002
Par Daniel Jolley "darkgenius" (Shelby, North Carolina USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
When I read a brief summary of this book, I wasn't really sure whether or not I would like it. Somewhat to my surprise, I found this to be a riveting novel. It's not Saul's best, but it is a great read. Creature is a sort of utopian novel, prompting one to ponder the effects of advanced genetic manipulation and subtle mind control on a controlled population. When Blake Tanner is suddenly promoted and transferred to Silverdale, he cannot be happier; TarrenTech only sends its future corporate elite to this small, idyllic town in Colorado. His family is initially happy there, but they gradually come to suspect and later fear something about the place. The total absence of junk food and colas in town would be enough to drive me out. TarrenTech basically owns and runs the whole town, including the mysterious sports clinic (given the foolish name Rocky Mountain High). Silverdale's high school football team is an all but unbeatable group of huge, strong athletes, earning a reputation for playing rough and dirty (despite the coach being named Phil Collins). A childhood illness had left Mark Tanner a short and skinny guy, greatly frustrating his athletic father. When Dr. Ames at the sports clinic says he can make Mark big and strong, Blake Tanner jumps at the chance. He pays no heed to the experimental nature of the "vitamin" treatment or the fact that one football player seriously injured another player in a game and later pummeled Tanner's own son in a jealous rage. When Mark soon begins to change, committing a few acts that I found particularly disturbing, Blake blames the change on teenaged hormones. Significantly, it is the women (old and young) in this novel who sniff out the danger lurking in the perfect little town and attempt to safeguard their families from its insidious effects.

At first, I enjoyed this book because I love seeing the little guy get the girl despite his lack of athletic prowess, but as things really started happening in town and the focus and tenor of the novel shifted, it was the storytelling craft of Saul that kept me turning the pages eagerly. Sure, you can tell early on the direction in which the story will go, but the ending was typically John Saul-not quite what I expected and not what I had wanted. Saul is not going to give you a happily ever after ending, and I applaud him for that. He remains faithful to the story from beginning to end. At times, his characters do act a little unnaturally, their dialogue somewhat forced or their behaviors a little too puppet-like, but all in all these moments are subtle and do little harm to the reading experience.

5.0étoiles sur 5 depressing ending, but a very good read, Mars 28 2001
Par R. H Porter (indianapolis, indiana USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

I was overall enterained by creature. The story was captivating and deep. I thought the ending was sad and interesting at the same time. Especially, when you usually look for the happily ever after ending. But, that is what made this book so good

3.0étoiles sur 5 Slow start, no finish, Sep 7 2003
Par H. R. Tucker "The ComputerKing" (New York, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
The begining was a bit slow, but I at times expect that from some authors, they prefer to take extra care in the setup. Then there was a point where the 'Good parts' started happeneing, and this renewed my interest. The ending, though, was not one, in my opinion. It skidded to a halt with several deaths and an underdone resolution. It left me wanting to know more about what happened afterward. It's an incomplete tale that left me wishing not for a sequel, but for the last 20 or 30 pages of an unfinished story.

In my opinion, Creature, was not a very interesting read. The title itself is plain enough to make you turn your head the other way, but I sampled the novel anyway. Read more
