Editorial Review:
A powerful high-tech company. A postcard-pretty company town. Families. Children. Sunshine. Happiness. A high school football team that never-ever loses. And something else. Something horrible ... Now, there is a new family in town. A shy, nature-loving teenager. A new hometown. A new set of bullies. Maybe the team's sports clinic can help him. Rebuild him. They won't hurt him again. They won't dare.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Good, but not great
"Creature" is an entertaining read although pretty predictable.
Some parts I found myself rushing through just to get to the horror stuff.
This book is best described as a PG-13 version of a Bentley Little novel.
Rating: - Perfect town perfect life...... or not!!!! 3 1/2 stars
Creature written by John Saul is one of those books that captivates its readers. I have been reading horror novels since I can remember, and this is the first book that I branched out from only ever reading Stephen King, Clive Barker and Dean Koontz.

Rating:  - Hooked on Saul
I was looking through the local library and stumbled across this and being a person who loves a good horror/mystery grabbed it right up. I loved this book and had a hard time putting it down. Of course with all that's going on these days with steroids and HGH it's hard to believe this book was written nearly 20 years ago and is still relevant. The story grabbed me right away with the small kid who wants to be bigger, and the classic athletic father who wants his boy to live up to his expectations of ... Read More
Rating: - Great Book
Bought it for my 13 yr old to read. He likes sci fi and reads well above his age. He definately enjoyed this book. I had read it several years ago and also enjoyed it. I love anything by John Saul.
Rating: - Spookiest book ...
I've read in awhile. I don't normally read John Saul simply because he is spooky. I finished this one in a day and a half ~~ and it's spookier than I ever remember Saul being. This one just is a little too realistic for me ~~ it is one of those "what if" books and whew!
This one focuses on the Tanner family as they move from California to Silverdale, Colorado. Touting the mountains as a wonder cure for people who have health problems, the Tanners were excited over Blake's promotion and their ... Read More
