Good story line that is suspenseful and very creative.

This was the first John Saul book I read and I was hooked on 'em throughout high school. I think they eventually got too twisted for me, but they were riveting for a few years. Still think of this one as my favorite. Would be a great start for a movie!

2*


In the small town of Eastbury, kids start to go missing and two distraught mothers team up to find out what and who's behind the strange dissappearances. This leads them to CHILD, an organization primarily set up to analyze genetics in children who they believe are special.

I've only read 2 of his books so far and it seems like he likes writing about secret institutions running crazy experiments on random people. Not exactly a bad premise but The God Project lacked plausibility. It really didn't explain a lot about the hows/whys and instead kept doling out far fetched theories and ideas about birth control, IUDs and computer technology etc.

This I think is my last John Saul novel. I think he had a good idea but it just didn't come off the page well and lacked a ton of research that should have been done in the first place. It started ok in the first couple of chapters and then went downhill fast. Not his best.

Alright, this goes for most of John Sauls books. He has really good storylines but what I like the most about his writing is his use of artificial intelligence with the human mind/body. I read his books when I was like 15-16-years-old and the science thrown into the plot always fascinated me.

A cheesy horror thriller with topical references, topical to the 80s, and a very satisfying ending.

This was my first John Saul for a while as I find a some of his books a little samey but I enjoyed The God Project a lot. It's an easy read and has a good plot that keeps you interested right to the creepy end.

Creepy!

I always enjoy reading a John Saul book every now and then because you can always count on several things: good writing, evil children, satisfying story. The God Project is no exception. The story centers around two families and their two boys: Randy and Jason. But these aren't ordinary children. After the death of Jason's infant sister, the parents work to discover a cause but the cause may be closer to home and worse then they could have imagined.

A quick easy read for horror fans. It is not one of his scariest books, but it's a good one nonetheless.

De diabólico no tiene nada el proyecto sin embargo me ha gustado mucho, aunque el inicio es un poco lento después empiezan las muertes y las descripciónes sangrientas que tanto me gustan del autor

Interesting concept - secret genetic engineering of super warriors. Quick read but not much depth.

I am so happy that I rediscovered how awesome John Saul is. I am going to have to put him in my favorite author list along with Dean Koontz, Stephen King, Bentley Little and Laurell K. Hamilton. Just that little list alone should give you a little insight into what my favorite types of books are. If you've read my blog before though, you'll know that I read pretty much anything I can get my hands on.

In The God Project Saul focuses on a little New England town where children are dying in their sleep of SIDs while others there and across the nation are disappearing or turning up dead too. At first it doesn't seem like these kids could have any connection at all until the story really gets rolling. Genetics and the Department of Defense all have a role to play and its still shocking all the way til the end of the book.

Saul writes a futuristic tale for the time that this was written, and it is fast paced and hard to put down. Just when you think you have it all figured out, he pulls another card out and plays a fast one on you. Things keep getting interesting and it left me wondering all the way til the end.

THIS BOOK WAS THE SH*T WHEN I WAS 13!

Seriously, back then this was the coolest book I had ever read.

I refuse to revisit the inside of the pages because I KNOW it will not hold up to the standard set in my memory from 28 years ago.
