"All Fall Down" is simply the European release title for "The God Project.",
By
This review is from: All Fall Down (Paperback)
"All Fall Down" is the same book as "The God Project," just released in a different market with a different cover. If you've already read or have "The God Project" and get this book, it'll be the same thing. It is the same book, just with a different cover. There is additional or added text and no editorial changes.John Saul is not one of my favorite authors. I liked him as a kid, but by the mid-90s as I got older I was disillusioned by the fact that he never seemed to change his style and his books were plagued by a predictable sameness, as well as a lot of padding. However "All Fall Down," or "The God Project" as I will refer to it, is during Saul's heyday, while his books still felt fresh and innovative and his popularity was reaching its zenith. It takes place in a small town, Eastbury, Massachusetts, which is stricken by an epidemic of SIDS in its seemingly healthy infants (also known as crib-death or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome). Children start to turn up missing as well. One woman, Sally Montgomery, refuses to believe the SIDS explanation peddled to her as the cause of death for her baby girl. The parents of these child begin to come together and find out rather some rather chilling medical data about their children and who has been monitoring them with interest. I can't really tell more without giving away some vital plot spoilers, but if you've never read John Saul before, this is as fair a place to start as any. It's one of his better novels, and not that typical - most of his novels revolved around small children and horrible, often supernatural-seeming happenings in small towns. So I guess I'd recommend this book. Once you get past a certain point, it becomes fairly predictable, and in the 20+ years since it's been released there have been enough other books in this vein to give you an idea about what's going on, but it still packs a decent wallop.
