"This was the very first John Saul book I ever read! I found it in a friends basement in a box full of books they were going to give away! Of course, I took them all! This book hooked me on John Saul's books! A great hot-summer-night read!"
"The small town of Villajeune, Florida is privy to a deep, dark secret. Babies die, children disappear and those that don't are haunted by nightmares of The Dark Man, who invades their thoughts, controls their minds and steals their souls. So begins "Darkness" from John Saul. While not necessarily a typical horror story, or typical John Saul, I find the story to be engrossing and very quickly got hooked. I found that the first half of the book was much better than the second, when too much was revealed too soon. Once the "truth" about The Dark Man and the town's "secret" came out, some of the mystery disappeared as well. While perhaps the story itself was highly unrealistic and the descriptions of the swamp and rundown shacks got a bit repetitive, I found the story good, entertaining fun. A solid read."
"This was a very entertaining book. I found myself being able to guess the outcome way before it was revealed so I wasn't that surprised at the ending when it was explained. The only part I didn't like were the last few chapters. I felt it over-explained what I had already concluded. But other than that the book was really good."
