4.0 out of 5 stars
Truly scary and suspenseful,
This review is from: When the Wind Blows (Paperback)
This was the first book that I read by John Saul. This book was hard to put down. The characters were captivating. I also liked the folklore of the water babies and how it was tied into the story. From the fist chapter on you are hooked into this story. The only thing I didn't like about this book was the loose ends. For example, who took care of Christy after Miss Diana and why did the wind effect people. Also, why did Esperanza do what she did at the end. This is a must read and I look forward to my next book by John Saul.

By A Customer
This review is from: When the Wind Blows (Paperback)
I Have been a John Saul fan for many years and thought that this was a very well written book. I think it is one of John Saul's best. The character Christine Lyons is very well developed in my opinion. A very chilling book. I would recomend it to other readers

Do you want to be scared?,
By Bunmi Esho (Virginia, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When the Wind Blows (Paperback)
This was the first John Saul book I read and it truly scared me silly! I can honestly say I didn't sleep well at night for a good two weeks! From that moment, I was a devoted fan of John Saul's work. He's an excellent writer and this book was one of the best ones he has written.
