From AudioFile

In Saul's second horror novel a priest has summoned an old school chum to teach psychology at a parochial school. Shortly after classes begin, a rash of suicides takes place, connected somehow to the new teacher. Or could they have something to do with the sadistic fifteenth-century "saint" venerated by the school's elite? This abridgment is given a particularly graceless and inept reading that should horrify the author, if no one else.

Product Description

Italy, 1252
Inquisition. Accusation. Fear. Torture. The guilty and the innocent dying for sins real and imagined, in the flames of the burning stake...

Neilsville, 1978
Peter Balsam has come to this sleepy desert town to teach its youth, and finds a mystery of mounting horror.

Something is happening to the young girls of St. Francis Xavier High School - something evil.

In bloodlet and terror a suicide contagion has swept the town...while a dark order of its holy men enacts a secret medieval ritual.

Is hysteria manipulating these innocent children into violent self-destruction? Or has a supernatural force, a thirteenth-century madness, returned to...Punish the Sinners?

3.0étoiles sur 5 Slow to start, Jui 15 2004
Par Sarah Sammis "Avid BookCrosser" (Hayward, CA United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Punish the Sinners (Paperback)
The book takes too long to get started. The first book (The Saints of Neilsville) plods along with a laughable predictability. The second book (The Society of St. Peter Martyr) picks up the pace and things really start to get creepy and strange. This section unfortunately relies too heavily on descriptions of all sorts of sexual acts. I'm not sure if I should laugh or be insulted. The two books take the plot on an unexpected tangent. Just as things seem to be petering out (excuse the pun), it picks up speed with the same frantic pace of some Stephen King novels. The last twenty pages then take a huge and wonderfully surprising tangent, earning this book a higher review than I otherwise would have given it.

1.0étoiles sur 5 Horrible, Avril 12 2004
Par Crow "blakestern" (Queen Creek, AZ USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Punish the Sinners (Audio Cassette)
I'm not sure if the other reviews are meant to be jokes or what, but John Saul is perhaps the worst hack writer I've ever read (or listened to, in this case). He does start the stories pretty well, but the wheels don't just come off the wagon, they fly off at light speed! Relaxation therapy? The musty odor of semen? Monsignor's huge organ? The characters are as flat as a postcard and the plot is outlandish and not just improbable but ridiculous.

Someone please explain to me why 1)Balsam would have ever chosen to stay on in the first place considering the treatment he recieved from the beginning and 2)why would the Society choose this guy when there had to be a zillion other weaker-minded types they could have recruited to drizzle their, uh... religious fervor... all over.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Punish The Sinners, Mars 13 2004
Par Andrew Brown (Atlanta, Ga United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This review is from: Punish the Sinners (Paperback)
Punish The Sinners is escapism at its best. Sauls weaves a sad tale of suspense and intrigue. Readers will find the opening funny and almost instantly chilling. Sinners exposes Saul's ability to craft a story that exposes the delicate almost fragile nature of children. This is the catylist for the evil that prevails. If horror has a first name, this book may just be the middle name. This is a must read. FYI..there is one part of the book that is sure to have you cringing or puking. Either way, you will be moved by this horroring tale.
