  <default-description>Lush, a deceptively tranquil, the secluded island&#160;&#160;basks in splendid isolation off the South Carolina&#160;&#160;coast--as does the Devereaux mansion, a once-great&#160;&#160;plantation house now crumbling amidst the ancient&#160;&#160;oaks. Now, for the first time in two decades,&#160;&#160;Kevin Devereaux has returned here with his wife and&#160;&#160;children to visit Kevin's hated, and frightening&#160;&#160;mother. She said she was ill--but is that really why&#160;&#160;the old woman has summoned the son she has not&#160;&#160;seen in so many years? Suddenly, horribly, one of&#160;&#160;the Devereauxs is going to die. And now, all the&#160;&#160;dark secrets of this once-proud family will emerge&#160;&#160;to wrap their evil around the unsuspecting&#160;&#160;children. Until, in the shadowed corridors and&#160;&#160;dust-covered rooms of the decaying old house, they learn the&#160;&#160;true terror of &lt;i&gt;The Unloved&lt;/i&gt;.</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[I was surprised how much I found myself enjoying this tale by Saul. Not to be a reading snob, but I often find myself going numb when reading too much formulaic horror fiction. This book managed to keep my interest and also got me to purchase a few more Saul books for Mount TBR.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was the strangest book I have encountered in quite some time. I enjoyed approximately three quarters of the book but then it became too far fetched. This book had definite potential but was spoiled by taking the plot to the point of being unrealistic. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This is one of my favorite scary books. It is very suspensful, but be prepared. John Saul is a predictable writer, so if you have read any of his other books, you will be able to be guess what will happen to certain characters. ]]></body>
