Explanation In Favor Of Books The Manhattan Hunt Club

In Manhattan Hunt Club John Saul plumbs the depths of the Manhattan underground--the network of subway tunnels and secret caverns and chambers where the homeless denizens of the city have created their own society. It's a world Jeff Converse, a young college student convicted of a crime he didn't commit, never knew existed until he is plunged into it after an "accident" that occurs while he is being transported to prison. He soon realizes that it's no accident, but the opening move in a deadly game being played by some of the city's most powerful men and women, a game in which he is the prey and they are the hunters. Jeff's only chance to make it to the surface and survive lies in allying himself with a homicidal maniac who's appointed himself the young man's protector, but whose designs on Jeff are almost as lethal as those of his enemies in the Manhattan Hunt Club.

Saul made his reputation in the horror genre, but he now focuses on psychological terrors rather than things that go bump in the night. His narrative gifts are displayed to great advantage in this heart-stopping thriller; the pacing is flawless and the central characters are very well developed. What keeps this from living up to its fullest potential is the inadequate motivation of the villains, who are largely one-dimensional cardboard cutouts. But that won't keep this otherwise topnotch thriller off the bestseller lists, where Saul (Nightshade, The Right Hand of Evil), like Stephen King, is a perennial contender for the number one spot. --Jane Adams

Discuss Appertaining To Books The Manhattan Hunt Club

The plot borders on absurdity but if you don't think about that too much, it is a fun mystery-esque horror with some entertaining two-faced characters.

Jeff has been falsely convicted of a crime. But when he is transferred out of the prison, he is taken somewhere and locked in a room with another man. Its not long after that they are released into the tunnels underneath New York and are told that theyll win if they make it to the surface. Meanwhile, his family and girlfriend think he died in a crash. I really liked this. It didnt take long to get sucked in, though it takes a little bit to figure out whats going on in the book. Its told from

In my opinion this in John Saul's masterpiece! I first got hooked on the horror of John Saul when I stumbled upon The Blackstone Chronicles, but have found some of Saul's novels disappointing (as word of advice: don't bother reading The Devil's Labyrinth published in 2007). Saul has a history of writing bad or simply off the wall endings to his stories. I loved The Manhattan Hunt Club - a story of homeless people living underground (literally) by accessing subway tunnels. Saul clearly put a lot

Jeff gets caught in the wrong place at the wrong time and finds him self through the court system around people who believe hes committed the crime and should sit and rot in jail. After being given considerably light sentence he is transferred to another jail. On the way there the prison van is hit and a homeless looking person leads him into the tunnels under Manhattan. While in the tunnels Jeff is locked in a room with a large prisoner names jagger who has Demands of his own to deal with. Then

A little bit predictable towards the end once you get the hang of Saul's style. The idea is unique and quite intriguing, the story itself was not at all what I thought it would be. It was way more sentimental with every single family member instinctively and just by their nature being on top of things and knowing where to go and what to do. It moves so fast it loses it's connection with reality. But it was kind of thrilling and exciting at times so it was a solid three.

2.75 starsThis wasn't as suspenseful as one would expect from a story about the wealthy and powerful elite in New York having a secret club that hunts human prey. It was also probably unnecessary to give background on every single character who has significant dialogue.

This novel is about a man who receives a prison sentence for a crime. On his transfer he is captured and thrown into the New York subway tunnel system where is he the prey of hunters. If he escapes he gains his freedom.This novel was an excellent read and can be classified as a thriller. The author did a fantastic job with the atmosphere and I loved his use of the tunnel system. His description of this setting really brought it to life. I also loved his portrayal of the characters as he gave
