Query: Reviewing "The Presence"

I enjoyed this book a lot. I love John Saul's writing. His creativity and style surpass others. He is my favorite next to Dean Koontz. I liked this book for many reasons. For one, I liked the development of characters. His setting was perfect also, he placed a horror/suspense story in the tropical paradise of Maui! This book was very imaginative and is unique in his writing and others. I took one star off because of how slow the reading was for me, personally. It took me a while to get into the book. At the beginning of the book, the foreshadowing stories were awesome. I also was very indulged into the book because of the ties that were placed in the novel between archeology, anthropology, and even "strange-alien pods" under the sea. I loved the book, I'd read it again, Saul has a way of placing you in the novel as if you are there.
