![]() Every chapter ends with a huge, outrageously bad thing but then the beginning of the next chapter is always "ha, just kidding!" After reading multiple Fear Street books, you know what's coming. Oh what unlikable characters! I used to love Stine, but the more I read the worse he gets for me. When he hits he's great, but he missed on this one. As I'm finding with Stephen King, it is hit or miss with R.L. He did a decent job of adding a good twist or two at the end of this book, but it was too little too late. In another "Fear Street" book I read called Double Date he did a great job with putting in so many twists and turns that I was guessing until the end of the book. That said I had read some good stuff by R.L. ![]() I know that as a 29 year old guy, I'm not the target audience for this teen book written in first person through a girl's point of view who's a junior in high school, but a lot of it was just bad writing. ![]() Stine makes and outrageous thing happen, and then at the beginning of the next chapter the character is like "No of course that didn't happen, it was what I was imagining would happen." Another similar trick is to do the same thing and then in the next chapter switch to another viewpoint and get back to explaining the outlandish incident later. ![]() In this one he pulls you through the story with some of the same cheap tricks he uses in his other ones, but it's overdone to the point of annoying. This is the third "Fear Street" book I've read by R.L. ![]()
