Negative Positive
Title: Horrible
Review: I'm not sure if the other reviews are meant to be jokes or what, but John Saul is perhaps the worst hack writer I've ever read (or listened to, in this case). He does start the stories pretty well, but the wheels don't just come off the wagon, they fly off at light speed! Relaxation therapy? The musty odor of semen? Monsignor's huge organ? The characters are as flat as a postcard and the plot is outlandish and not just improbable but ridiculous.Someone please explain to me why 1)Balsam would have ever chosen to stay on in the first place considering the treatment he recieved from the beginning and 2)why would the Society choose this guy when there had to be a zillion other weaker-minded types they could have recruited to drizzle their, uh... religious fervor... all over.
Is the review positive or negative?
