Summary: Very creepy book with an outstanding setting
Review: characters were great, setting was especially creepy, and the entire book's body was well put together. I've met John Saul once and he seems as mysterious as his books. This is the best book of his to date for me. I haven't read all of his, but quite a few. I also suggest Black Lightning. Not as scary as Nathaniel, but a overall easy story to follow with some scary parts.

Summary: Nathaniel was a great book by a great writer, John Saul.
Review: I read this book and did a project on it in fifth grade and I have read in numerous times since then.(6 years) I've bought many copies to read and I love it, I love all of John Saul's books. I can picture the barn and graveyard in my mind. This book really grabs at your attention and doesn't let go. I could sit up for hours and read John Saul's books.

Summary: Well written and gloriously unspectacular.
Review: I suppose what makes a horror novel successful, above all other criteria, is the degree of suspense felt by the reader; this, of course, varies from person to person. Nathaniel was virtually free of suspense: most of the scenarios that Saul tosses at us are suspense of the cliffhanger variety. That is to say that although there is suspense by virtue of the situation, the reader more or less expects the outcome of each and every situation. This applies to all elements comprising the conclusion as well. It simply isn't a very good book where the story is concerned. But, in order to balance out the review, the writing skill must be mentioned. John Saul can, in short, tell an unenthralling story incredibly well. The details are drawn out to the very last strand of hair, the pace of the story varies incredibly well and, most importantly, Saul keeps a consistent third person tone. Unheard of! If only the story had been better.

Summary: John Saul is the master of suspense
Review: John Saul has done it again I have read just about every book ever written by Saul and I think he is in a league with King! I've have never read a story by him I have been disappointed in. Nathaniel has a clever dialogue that kept me guessing to the end of the book. There were characters in there you could identify with living in a small town!

Summary: A "HAUNTING" NARRATION
Review: Mix yourself a toddy, curl up in front of a fire, and prepare to hear a chilling, spine tingling tale. "Nathaniel" reminds one of the ghost stories told in darkened rooms- those that made listeners shiver with a mixture of fear and delight. John Saul's horror filled narrative explodes with excitement in an arresting reading by first rate vocal performer Laurel Merlington. She injects her performance with just the right amounts of fear and curiosity in this story of evil both real and imagined. Just who is Nathaniel? No one in the small town of Prairie Bend seems to know for sure, but the majority fear him. Some say he's part of a folk tale that has been circulating for generations. Others swear that his spirit is very real and will bring havoc upon the innocent in an effort to avenge past deeds. Still grieving after his father's accidental death young Michael Hall arrives in Prairie Bend. It is he who clearly hears the voice of Nathaniel calling to him, urging him to venture where he has been forbidden to go. Michael obeys and therein lies this terrifying tale.
Listen and discover the dark secrets that refuse to stay buried. - Gail Cooke
