Year: 1974My Halloween book (The Sentinel) for 2018 was written in 1974 by Jeffrey Konvitz. I read this book the year after I graduated high school (dating myself) and I remember it scaring the bejesus out of me. I was wondering if it still could. It did, but with noticeable flaws. As a teen in 1968, I read “Rosemary's Baby.” And in 1973, I read “The Exorcist.” Both books better stand the test of time than this one did. I can see what attracted me back then to “Sentinel.” As a native New Yorker, I enjoyed that the setting takes place in the Big Apple. The teenage me would have found the protagonist, a beautiful but troubled fashion model to be a fascinating character simply because she was a model.The heroine moves into an old brownstone building and befriends the other occupants who are bizarrely eccentric. Sounds like “Rosemary’s Baby” right? Wrong, I actually found these neighbors even spookier (possible spoiler) because the reader is not sure if they truly exist or are part of the model’s imagination. The house is inhabited on the top floor by a reclusive blind Catholic priest, who may or may not be evil. He spends his time sitting at his open window. Yes, such a thought can still scare the Catholic schoolgirl in me. Is our heroine crazy or is she in hell? The book also has an unsolved murder in its plot. This would be the deceased wife of our heroine’s boyfriend. I can’t say any more about him or it would be a spoiler.So why didn’t this book stand the test of time? Well first of all, as an adult I was pissed off that her loving boyfriend uses his hands on her. Plus, her abusive father is written as such an insane deviant he is not a believable character. Not to mention that a lesbian couple are referred to as perverts. Okay, there was no PC in the 1970s hopefully we have all grown. But mostly what bothered me is that the story’s lewdness seems to have been written to shock for shock purposes and that seldom works. Maybe, I am being too critical. Stephen King’s “Carrie” which was published in 1973 also had a crazy religious fanatic parent who beats her daughter. I guess I need to reread Kings first novel to see if it also feels dated. Still, mostly I feel that “Rosemary's Baby” and “The Exorcist” are superior to “Sentinel” because like another King novel “The Stand” they are basically good vs. evil fables. And let’s face it, now we are talking about the Bible. According to the March 2007 edition of “Time,” the Bible "has done more to shape literature, history, entertainment, and culture than any book ever written. Its influence on world history is unparalleled, and shows no signs of abating." ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Por fín después de casi 30 años. *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2021* Leí El Guardían en el 86 cuando tenía 10 años y hasta el momento es el libro de terror más fuerte que he leído, fuerte entre lo más fuerte, no hay palabras para expresar el miedo que suelta ese libro. Ahora tuve la oportunidad de leer este, no es tan miedoso pero vale la pena para tener la historia completa. Vale la pena. ### ⭐⭐ the film is better I think I was expecting a more "exciting" read ... *by J***S on Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2016* Surprising slow, lacks narrative drive; the film is betterI think I was expecting a more "exciting" read but this just slowly plodded along and a lot of the dialogue by the cop/detective was really dumb andconstantly jokey, like from a 70s sitcom. I guess the author was trying to establish character but it works much better in the movie.I have the sequel, THE GUARDIAN, which I haven't read yet. Hopefully it's a more exciting read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/202726199-the-sentinel-audio-cd-unabridged-september-6-2016](https://www.desertcart.it/products/202726199-the-sentinel-audio-cd-unabridged-september-6-2016) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
