3.0�toiles sur 5 Not One of Saul's Best, Nov. 7 2001

Par	Kenneth W. Clifford "Bibliophile" (Fort Lauderdale, Florida USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Hellfire (Paperback)

While Saul's characters are always likeable, and the stories usually engaging, this one just didn't do it for me. A whole bunch of nothin' for the first couple of hundred pages and then a rushed -- unsatisfying -- ending. If you've never read Saul before, skip this one and pick up THE GOD PROJECT first.

3.0�toiles sur 5 Not the best introduction to Saul, Mai 31 2001

Par Un client

This review is from: Hellfire (Paperback)

This book was my introduction to Saul's work, and while it was a good read, there were certain things that I felt were a "cop-out" and could have been handled better. The storyline is good and I devoured the book in less than 24 hours. While the story is typical Saul, from what I've read of his other books, the ending of this one is lacking. What builds up through the book is anticlimactic at the end. I found myself wishing that I could rewrite the ending or that I'd find one more chapter that would satisfy my desire for what was missing. Read it, but be prepared to be disappointed with the last couple chapters.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Decent horror, Janv. 10 2004

Par	T. Postell "mortal_belleza" (Montgomery, Al, USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

Carolyn Rogers marries Phillip Sturgess -- rich, eligible, successful bachelor with a heart of gold despite his snobbish breeding. Phillip, along with Carolyn's ex-husband, plan on reopening a mill where a group of the town's children burned to death in the late 1800s and has recently become the site of many mysterious accidents. And that's about all the Carolyn and Phillip have to do with the story.

The main focus of the story is Beth Rogers, Carolyn's daughter from her first marriage, and Tracey Sturgess, Phillip's daughter from his first marriage. Tracey goes out of her way to make Beth feel unwanted through any means necessary, and Beth finds herself miserable and lonely. Beth befriends a girl-child who died in the fire at the mill (not unlike the girl in Saul's Comes the Blind Fury) who becomes something of a best friend to Beth. Finally, this all comes to head in a "grand finale".

This was a good read, typical early-Saul fare. It shared many similarities with Comes the Blind Fury, but it was different enough to keep me reading. Saul has a way of really making you love and hate his characters. I sort of thought that the ending was a little rushed and the revealed "secret" a little weak, but an enjoyable read still.
