This, to me, seemed more like a horror novel written specifically for Catholics but I did enjoy it, despite my distance from that sect. I thought it had some interesting concepts in regards to some of the more obscure saints and what an American Inquisition would look like. I wish we might've been able to delve deeper into the psychological make-up of Peter Vernon once his true past is revealed to us but I understand that these types of pulp fiction aren't expected to get too lofty. All and all,
"He resented the girls, resented the way they acted so respectful in his presence, then sneered at him from a distance.When he had been a child, such impudence had not been tolerated. The nuns had demanded respect all the time, and the boys in the convent had given it , unquestioningly".Punish the Sinners by John SaulOne of Johns Saul's best. It had a lot more depth then some of his other books and I dont mean that in a bad way because I think John Saul is a great writer. But hes a horror

I loved this book!! great story!! 2nd book I have read by this author!! will read more of his books!!
This is one of the worst books I have ever finished reading. I was hoping it would get better, but did not. The subject matter is strange (Catholicism and sex) and the story is awful. There are gruesome details followed by weak descriptions... The ending is the worst part, almost like the author could not find a way to end it.
John Saul is among a class of horror and thriller writers I feel deserves so much more attention than he gets. I read When the Wind Blows and Suffer the Children, so I was looking forward to reading my third novel of Saul's and did so as a buddy read with Julie from A Girl and a Book on Booktube. I felt When the Wind Blows was really good, while Suffer the Children was good. I would say that Punish the Sinners falls in between, where I feel that it was dark and brutal, yet I feel that in this
