A review by lfgabel
Nathaniel by John Saul

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.0

Told in a straight forward, easy-to-read manner, Saul's Nathaniel had me gripped in the first few pages. It's always a good sign when you form visceral gut reactions to characters quickly, so much so that you want certain things to happen to them. I'm immediately invested. The pages flipped by as if time had stopped. The book had just the right mixture of creepy and scary. It would make a great movie. I discovered this book by accident in a Little Free Library, and I'm glad I did.
