I picked John Saul's book to try out a work of an unread author by your truly. As much as his website says, he supposedly writes "psychological, occult, scientific and paranormal thrillers", parts of which I have thought can be of interest to me. At some place it even mentions that his stories contain horror. So I decided to give this one a shot, a copy that I had found at a book-swap last month.
It turned out to be a decent, very easy fast-read, but only one of those that can be read when one wants to simply read for entertainment, with nothing much to contemplate upon. This book was an archaeological suspense thriller. Some parts of it were predictable, yet quite a bit of suspense was well kept almost till the end. There was nothing truly horrifying, but I can say it did contain a few terrorizing ideas. Overall, the book entertained me, but hardly at all stimulated my mind.
I will be reading some of his few selective titles in the future, as a break during my other contemplative reads. :)
