Though I thought the ending was not believable (way too many questions remain) I did enjoy this book. It's definitely a book about the choices that some make that lead them down a path that they may not be willing to follow in the end. The book jumps back and forth between characters here and ther...
It’s rare that I find a story that is such a bewildering mix of themes, loose ends, illogic, and cardboard characters, and yet holds my interest long enough to actually get to the end of the book without DNF’ing. I can’t even think of any way to explain myself without spoiling the entire… I can’t sa...

Holy shit, where do I begin...The book opens with an infant's death. SIDS is a horrible fucking thing. We watch a very believable scenario in which the mother doesn't want to believe her baby girl is dead. This section is really well done. Broke my heart. And then the fuckery begins. The author move...
Somehow I ended up with an abridged copy of this audiobook. I don't like abridged because I always feel like I'm missing something super important, usually characterization, but this abridgement wasn’t too bad. This story is about a psycho attempting to create a family by abducting women through o...

It was my first ever John Saul book that i can recall reading. i don't think i've read any of his work's before and it left me very disappointed. This book is over 30 years old and it simply hasn't aged w...

The Devil's Labyrinth, thy name is Sloth.Ryan McIntyre gets himself beat up at school, prompting his mom, Teri, to send him to Catholic School. It could be worse: with his soldier father dead, Ry...
John Saul is one of those authors I grew up reading. My mother had a closet full of horror novels, and a great number of them were Saul's books. Though this is not my favorite book of his, it comes damn close. The Lizzy Borden murders is one of those mysteries I've always been obsessed with. Some...
