I really didn't enjoy this book as much as his others. Maybe because I went to catholic school my whole life. I just couldn't appreciate the sac-religious horror. It was kind of disturbing.

This was a great book. John Saul really knows how to keep your attention. This book a one of Saul's best suprises yet. I definitely recommend this book to any fan of horror or suspense.

A parochial high school in a small town experiences a rash of suicides and attempts among its female students. Does it coincide with the arrival of a new teacher who has the nerve to teach what the townsfolk consider an unorthodox discipline--psychology--or are they connected to the pious Monsignor Vernon and his veneration of a saint who committed hundreds of tortures and murders during the Inquisition? This veneration is eerily similar to Romanian Orthodox Church leaders' veneration of an Archbishop who turned out to be a leader in a Fascist, anti-Semitic organization back home. PUNISH THE SINNERS shows both the beauty and the ugliness of organized religion, and should pique the reader's interest both in religious teachings and European history.

An interestly strange book that keeps you guessing as to what's going to happen next. It's one of the most unexpected books out there.

John Saul is a great author. He has written many books, and they all strike the reader. I have been reading a lot of his newer novels, so I decided to pick up some old ones to see the if the writing style was the same, but I figured out that they are quite different. His newer books bring on more realistic scenes, and his older books are more horror filled. 'Punish the Sinners' is a great novel. Its about a priest who takes revenge on girls at his school by hypnotizing them to commit suicide. Its punishment for what his sister did to his family some 30 years ago. Good novel, and fans should pick up some his his older work.
