Book Reviews of When the Wind Blows
Book Review: Like getting to second base...
Summary: 2 Stars
With the easiest girl in school and then she asks to be taken home. You think you're going to score, but Miss Easy has turned into Miss Prude. Argh!
Saul had an awesome premise in this book, and he came close to true fear a couple times, yet in the end he flirted with the trigger but never pulled it. Why, John Saul, why? The result is an unsatisfying, boring letdown of a book. I thought he was supposed to be in league with King and Koontz, but if this book is any indication, Saul owns the bush league. The murders are watered-down and PG. The significance of the wind is never explained. So many near scares that after a while you're convinced you will never darken the corner of third base, let alone home plate. Add to that the stiff characters and bad dialogue coupled with the withering suspense and you realize this is one date in need of a merciful abbreviation. Stay away.
Summary of When the Wind Blows
The children were waiting. Waiting for centuries. Waiting for someone to hear their cries. Now nine-year-old Christine Lyons has come to live in the house on the hill -- the house where no children have lived for fifty years. Now little Christie will sleep in the old-fashioned nursery on the third floor. Now Christie's terror will begin.Horror Books
