Nathaniel

By: John Saul

Narrated by: Emily Sutton-Smith

From the blood of the past, evil rises to seek undying vengeance...Prairie Bend.

Brilliant summers amid golden fields. Killing winters of razorlike cold. A peaceful, neighborly village, darkened by legends of death? Who is Nathaniel? For 100 years, the people of Prairie Bend have whispered the name in wonder and fear. Some say he is simply a folk tale - a legend created to frighten children on cold winter nights. Some swear he is a terrifying spirit returned to avenge the past. And soon...very soon...some will come to believe that Nathaniel lives still - darkly, horrifyingly real. Nathaniel.

For young Michael Hall, newly arrived in isolated Prairie Bend after having lost his father to a sudden tragic accident, Nathaniel is the voice that calls him across the prairie night...the voice that draws him into the shadowy depths of the old, crumbling barn where he has been forbidden to go...the voice - chanting, compelling - he will follow faithfully beyond the edge of terror...Nathaniel.

this story by John Saul was the first thriller I had read. and now it is the first full adio book that I had experienced. still my favorite. thank you

The Narrator was Fantastic

The narrator was so good, and that is what kept me going, even though the story seemed to drone on and on. The story was good, but at some point I just kind of wished it would end.

What's the answer?

The ending of this book I thought was going to give me what I thought was closure. I'm not sure if there will be some sort of sequel, but when youf defeat the problem, it usually goes away. I feel I have more questions than answers this time. Not a bad book, I did enjoy it. I just want more answers.

The Narrator was awful!!

Her reading was robotic. I have read the paperback years ago, and loved it, but the reading ruined it. You can also tell where she took breaks, and then restarted. The tones didn't match.
