Keeper of the Children

I recieved this book 25 years ago for Christmas ... I was only 13 years old. I found it frightening yet so compelling that I just had to finish it. I recall loaning it to a friend years ago. (I never got it back!) I plan to order myself a copy and read it as an adult because I'm curious to know why this obscure book had such an impact on me that a quarter century later I still remember the title.

You know what? This is a good book. It won't teach you anything historic about brainwashing or mind control, and it was published in 1978, so ritual abuse is barely even a topic yet, but it will pull it all together so you can see a bigger picture, and perhaps what may be involved in confronting it.The characters are well drawn, and the author is well versed in psychic subject matter, which is good in and of itself in order to add to the credibility of the story. It is well written, and the ending takes you to surprising places. All in all, an enjoyable read.

How far would you go to save your child? This is a story about a man who pushes himself to unbelievable limits to save his daughter.Hallahan unfolds this story before your eyes so well,you feel as if you are there fighting along side this man... I read this some time ago, but now as a parent need another copy to read again!!!

The characters are very compelling, you want this man to overcome his physical boundaries to reclaim his entranced child from an Evil cult leader with extraordinary abilities. I bought this book, when it first came out years ago. A few years later I bought it again, not realizing I had already read it. Now I wish I had held on to it, so that I may read it yet again.

The Keeper of the Children is a fascinating story of the struggle within oneself to overcome physical ability. Hallahan uses a very discrete way of writing that allows you to follow the characters thoughts. A tale of love, greed and justice that is compelling enough to cause anyone to second guess the powers of the mind. A man is pushed to the shear limits of his body....and beyond. A true journey into the psyche of mankind! Mike Scott Hamilton, Ontario
