Es la primera novela que leo de John Saul, y la verdad no tenía idea de con qué me iba a topar. Los personajes son muy diferentes entre sí y el autor logra crear personalidades fuertes de manera que cada uno de ellos se destaque en cada una de las escenas que protagoniza. Una novela escalofriante, que pone en el centro como objeto de horror a los niños. Descubrí al autor gracias al canal Para que leer de Malik, me tomé el tiempo para leerlo y la sensación que me dejó el final perdurará en mi memoria durante largo tiempo.

Quién no haya leído nada de Saúl, esta novela es un gran puntapié para conocerlo.

Wow. This was a tough read in the beginning because it involved children. I don't want to spoil it for anyone, so I won't say what was so difficult about it. However, as the story progressed and the suspense built, I was drawn in more and more. The author has quite the knack for changing how I felt about the characters over the course of the book. Some who I liked and was sympathetic with in the beginning became despised while others I didn't like in the beginning I grew to sympathize with. Definitely recommend for anyone who likes medical mysteries!

I almost wish there had been a sequel so I could see how the story played out.

I only gave this one 3 stars because 1) I wanted to get it off my shelf and thought a good Halloween book would end the month nicely, and 2) if you can get beyond the pure 80's motif such as the schools not reporting or contacting parents when a child doesn't show up for school or smoking in the hospital lobby then you'll get through this book just fine. I had forgotten how well John Saul writes. May read a couple others....they need to come off my shelf too!

Solid 3 stars. The pacing of the novel itself was a little slow, but I did find myself flying through it. I enjoy John Saul's style of writing. I find his novels to be creepy and easy to read. Definitely a curl up on the couch over the weekend kind of read. The concept of the God Project was interesting. I can't say that I've come across this particular plot before. Possibly my favorite part of the novel was the ending. I did feel like it was a bit rushed and thrown in, however, I love a truly horrific ending.. Reminded me a bit of the very end of Pet Sematary.
