Representaion As Books Nathaniel
For a hundred years, the people of Prairie Bend have whispered Nathaniel's name in wonder and fear. Some say he is a folktale, created to frighten children on cold winter nights. Some swear he is a terrifying spirit returned to avenge the past. But soon... very soon... some will learn that Nathaniel lives still--that he is darkly, horrifyingly real. Nathaniel--he is the voice that calls to young Michael Hall across the prairie night... the voice that draws the boy into the shadowy depths of the old, crumbling, forbidden barn... that chanting, compelling voice he will follow faithfully beyond the edge of terror.Rating About Books Nathaniel

Okay, maybe it's just me, but the ending totally ruined this for me.I was sooooo on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what the the connection was Between Nathaniel and Michael and the goddamn dog and what do I get in the end??? A complete cliffhanger???? Ugh.Other than the terrible ending, I thought it was pretty suspenseful overall, but not as scary as I thought. Kinda frustrating with the whole small town collective and the grandfather. So glad he dies.... But I still never figured outNathaniel has been on my personal bookshelf for many years, I picked it up from a garage sale for $1 (along with a few more of Mr Saul's book) but until now I haven't had a chance to read it.The blurb intrigued me when I read it and made me think of Stephen King a little bit.Nathaniel was easy to read, there was lots of twists that kept your attention and made you want to keep reading. It was dark, believable with a hint of the supernatural.I must admit when I read this quote:"If that's what you
Something about barns is just plain spooky. It seems like the last few books that I have read have had barns in them & it has led to some very dark ocurrences.On that note, Nathaniel was one creepy book. It is another great October read. Many things were disturbing about the plot and very mysterious. I really despised Amos and I hated him when he hurt Shadow. I can't stand to read stuff like that when it comes to animals. I did enjoy the surprise that came at the end with everything coming
I saw something that night.John Saul is a very deceptive writer. The characters that people his stories are ordinary everyday folk doing ordinary everyday things. Even the horror elements are hardly apocalyptic or grotesque (or perhaps I havent read enough of his books yet). Instead, it creeps and crawls and worms its way into the readers consciousness. If there isnt overmuch character development, its because the characters come fully formed. These are the kind of people we all know, which
I read this when I was 12 and it enthralled me. Characters are believable, well-written and keep you engaged through the story. Everyone is a mystery in this book.
Listened to an abridged version on audible.I hated it.
I love John Saul, and this has got to be my absolute favorite book of his! It has lots of twists and turns that keep you guessing until the very end when the surprise ending leaves you speechless!
