4.0 out of 5 stars Nice little time waster, October 5, 2003
By 
Matthew King (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Shadows (Paperback)
Regular readers of John Saul usually know what to expect when they pick up one of his novels; A small town setting, teenage protagonists with attitude issues and a malevolent technological experiment that is the work of some out of control corporation that threatens the peacefullness of the small town. Believe you me, Shadows does not stray very far from the formula.

Josh MacCallum is a ten year old with an attitude problem. He's constantly getting into fights at school, talks back at teachers and hates the fact he is living in a boring little desert town. His problem is that he is too smart. The curriculum at school is a joke to him and he is excluded and teased by his fellow students because of his superior intellect. His mother and principle decide to send him to a private school called The Barrington Academy for young students with gifted minds like his own. For the first time in his life, Josh feels like he belongs. But then a mysterious series of student suicides leads Josh to believe that the academy may not be all it is cracked up to be. Are all these suicides coincidental or is there something more sinister behind them?

Shadows is quite entertaining athough it doesn't offer Saul readers anything new. The book takes a while to get going but once we learn the forces at work behind the child suicides it becomes quite interesting. Fans of Orson Scott Card's Ender's Game and the Harry Potter novels ought to enjoy this one as much as I did.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Shadows (Hardcover)
Shadows is an incredible well written story that will keep the reader interested long after the first page. Twists and turns await the reader at every corner. John Saul knows how to turn a simple delightful event into a horrifying nightmare.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must Read!, January 25, 2011
This review is from: Shadows (Kindle Edition)
This book is wonderful, I have loved it since the day I first read it (took me about 2 days) I could not put it down! and still can't, over the years I have read this book at least ten times and everytime it is still as good as the first time. And never takes me more than a few days to read. If you like crime/mystery novels you will most likely love this book. Everyone i have ever given this book to has loved it as well!
