Torn pages

My book is missing pages, it’s torn and so the page count is off by 5. It’s a shame because the story is great but what details am I missing. I reached the second half so this drama is kicking up and details are so crucial.

The Right Hand of Evil

Excellent reading....I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to read Nightshade. Keep up the good work!

Awesome

This is the 1st of John's books that I've read and the quality of this book has urged me to get another one of his writings, after I'm done with the pile I have now.The Conways have been cursed. A trust means that they had to live in that old abandoned house in which rumours of death, evil and conspiracy had spread through the generations in the little town of St. Alban.Janet's husband, Ted Conway, recovers from his decade long problem of drinking overnight and Jared, their eldest son, takes a turn from his twin sister, someone who was his closest friend since their birth. What's really going on?I broke my own personal record by finishing this book within 10 hours. After reading the 1st 12 chapters, I did not want to stop. The story was very smooth flowing; the plot simple yet mysterious. The main characters were thoroughly developed and the words painted a totally spooky house of horror.I was chilled within those first chapters and wanted to get to the bottom of the terror as quickly as I could. Very enjoyable.

Review for Right Hand of Evil and John Saul

When I was younger, I found COMES THE BLIND FURY in a desk drawer. The cover intrigued me - and I picked it up and read it. I never put it down until I was done. I went right out to the book store and bought 3 more John Saul books. I then started to read them in the order he wrote them. I bought paperback, hardcover, joined a book club and ordered them in sets... I did everything I could to find all of the books he had written. In the meantime, every year I waited patiently for a new book to come out...It would hit the shelves, I would buy it, read it, file it away on my special John Saul book shelf and then have to wait another year for the next book to come out. The Right Hand of Evil was a great book. I am looking forward to NightShade, as I do like his early books best. Thank you for reading this - John Saul is and will be my favorite author - I hope he never stops writing books.

I AM A NEW FAN!

This book was great! I love the style of John Saul's writing! It is so graphic, yet simple, it makes you wonder why you haven't written anything like this. The plot is twisted, the story morbid, the charecters' deceiptful. My kind of novel! Entertaining from beginning to end and completely shocking! Great, highly recommended read! Five Out Of Five

A good first!

This was my first John Saul book and I found it to be very exciting. It led me to read other books that just got better. I can't believe that some would bash this book because I thought it was great. It got me so interested in John Saul. And I couldn't take me eyes out of the book until I was finished.
