5 comments about Keep Me in Mind (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

1. Keep me in mind is a fun choose your own adventure book based on the second season of Buffy the vampire slayer. The series, Stake your destiny, has four quick reads in which you are the slayer and every action is up to you. But be careful what you choose, because it has a magor impact on your story.
   This book was one of the better stories in the Stake your destiny series though some parts were strange the rest was fun. Great for any big fans of the show.

2. One could find far better books in this genre to recommend. Has all of Holder's weaknesses in spades: poor characterization, sloppy plot, and no sense of the show universe she attempts to write in.



3. This book and all the "Stake Your Destiny" series are good reads if you are under 14 years old. Most Buffy fans are older than 14. For older readers it is a let down. I am a huge Buffy and Angel fan, and most of the books have been great, (I own all the novels that are available) but I was disappointed in this book.



4. I love Buffy books. I have read and currently own way more than any adult should have. And I usually love Nancy Holder's books. I'm not as interested in the Choose Your Own Adventure formula, but I'm not opposed to it. Loved it as a kid. The Suicide King (another Buffy Choose Your Own) was reasonable.
   
   However, I'm sad to say this book is really awful. The individual pages of writing are good, as is usual for the author. She's good with the characterizations and dialogue. But as one of the other reviewers said, it's a mess. The book tries to cover too much territory with recycled pages of action, and the continuity is completely lacking. You see Cordelia being abducted and follow trying to save her, make a few Choices, and in a few pages...it's like you've forgotten she was abducted as she saunters in with Xander. You're fighting an old foe and dust him...and then in a few Choices, you're worried if that foe is waiting for you. You're wandering in a tunnel and have to choose left/right...only when you go back out, you have to go the wrong way because there is no correct choice (did the tunnel disappear?)
   
   Really, really not worth reading if you're actually going to pay attention to plot threads and continuity.



5. What a fun read.
   Ok, so this is first off a childrens book but I as an adult really enjoyed the simplicity of this book.
   Read this just for fun.
   My only complaint about this book is that the characters use too much baby talk! Goodness, I don't think anyone age 16 talks like that Ms Nancy Holder, shame on you again for not knowing these characters!

1. I read this book in 3 hours.... NOt putting it down once! Itis a really great story and easy to catch onto.. even if you didntread the first book! (Believe me i know!) The book was really cool. It really gives you a look on reality about how Marin finds the girls even when they are on an island with no cars and riding horse back! This book is so intense and real you will be looking over your shoulder for a while! I really recomend this book!



2. I recommened this book very highly to anyone that has a need for horror



3. The book is great for any fear loving person. It has action, love, and fear. I'm 12 and got into it and couldn't put it down. I almost got so tearified I couldn't put it down till everything was safe and sound.



4. ...." A clever, hip and frightening adventure faced by the twins and their friends that will leave you on the edge of your seat at the end of each chapter..."

1 comments about Prey #2 (The Wereling).

1. The Wereling trilogy is by far one of the coolest that I have read, and I couldn't put this book down!! I must've read it in, like, only 3 days worth of free time! I even stayed up well into the night just to find out what would happen next! A definite must-have, and a great piece of an even greater storyline!

5 comments about Unnatural Selection (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

1. To be honest, I only read this book to get closer to completing my goal of reading all of the Buffy books; otherwise I would have discounted it. I would have truly missed out on a great read. This story is so original and suspenseful that it ranks amongst my favorite Buffy books now. Definatly read this book; you won't be disappointed



2. I don't understand the high ratings on this book. It sucked. It was so boring. I like most of the Buffy books but this one was just a snoozer.



3. To be honest, I ordered this book out of boredom... I didn't expect it to be the best of books, but at least I would have something to read... I don't read often, books usually can't hold my interest long enough for me to finish them... I mostly read BTVS Books and Biographies/Autobiographies.

   That said, I LOVED this book... Mel Odom is one of my favorite BTVS Authors, he's incredibly talented... This book had my interest from the beginning and I really couldn't put it down. I started reading it and finished it within a little over an hour, the way that the characters were written was very much like they were on the show... Their reactions to things, the way that they each talked... Very much like the 3rd season version of the characters on BTVS.

   And I loved the whole Faery story... I don't want to spoil the book for anyone who hasn't read it, which i'll end up doing if I go into it anymore... So i'll just say this if you're a BTVS fan... Read this Book! Even if you haven't read many, or any, of the books and aren't sure if you'd like them.. Read this one.

   I really do miss Buffy The Vampire Slayer, I still watch the reruns on FX and on Sunday nights on the WB.




4. The little baby Willow is sitting turns into a mean faery & warns Willow that if she doesn't help turn around the construction about to begin at a nearby park, her fate will be doomed.

   It's an interesting premise- especially considering this book allows for more talk & research than some of the other overly action packed Buffy books. But, like so many Buffy books, once the 40 page action sequences begin- I could care less.

   It's just that after watching the show- the action doesn't translate well onto the page, not to mention I never read action books. (Aside from Buffy & I only read the books because i miss the show).

   The ending drips with Angel/Buffy cheese, but overall, the narrative does have a lot of fun faery facts & Willow is practically the star of the story (I love Willow).

   I wouldn't say don't read it, just don't expect anything too great.




5. I loved this book. The details are great. Willow is the main character here, which is unusual but good. All Buffy fans should read this one.

5 comments about The Stranger.

1. I literally COULD NOT put this book down. For three hours I didn't eat, drink, or move - just read! The storyline is so interesting, so unique, so beautiful. Not to mention it's well written. Everyone should give this book a try, it's definitely worth your time.
   
   To anyone who enjoys this book, I recommend The Vampire's Promise trilogy, also by Cooney. ^_^



2. If you dont like this boook and say bad stuff about it u must be very confused and u must like very boring books :p



3. I Read tis book in one day because i just couldn't put it down! It has a really great plot and is tottaly awesome! It has a really sweet ending and that just makes it rock more! But i think Nickie should have done something about Christo. I love this book SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much.
   and everyone else is right the cover has little to do with the book. ;P



4. One of my fav books... I've read it in one day... I just couldn't put it down... Mrs Cooney sure knows how to use words and phrases right!!! A very nice job. But I think that the cover of the book is not what it should be..



5. Caroline B Cooneys book the stranger is my favourite book, once I read it I read all her other fantastic books. Its not really scary but its got a very good plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat. I spent a whole day of my holiday by the pool reading it. You get a really good feel for the characters and the ending was so sad but fantastic.
   
   I strongly reccommend it for those fear street fans.

5 comments about The Overnight (Fear Street, No. 3).

1. I liked The Overnight because the way the events took place captivated me. Also I can relate to some of the characters in the book. In the overnight six teenagers plan to go on an all night camp out, but the chaperone can't come. This sounds like a good idea at first but soon turns into a nightmare.With murder and suspence these teenagers lives will never be the same!



2. THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST R.L STINE BOOK EVER. IT WAS SCARY AND REALLY INTERSTING. IT TAKES A DIFFERENT TURN IN THE MIDDLE.

3. This is one of the best FEAR STREET books ever!!Great plot+Great charters+Great action+Great suspence+Great Mystrey-Not enough Pages!=This book!Definaly a book in my top 10!!!



4. R.L. Stine, one of the greatest horror writers in history, is
   out with another great thriller The Overnight part of the Fear
   Street collection. The book is about five kids Della, Suki, Maia,
   Gary and Ricky when they have plans to go to their outdoor club
   and campout for the weekend but their fun turns to a secret they might have to keep for the rest of there lives.
   When Della accedently kills a man the five kids must put it all on the line to make sure that their secret isn't revieled but can they keep the secret for the rest of their lives or will one of them spill the beans. Even though they go home they still remember the accedent. Also something strange starts happening and they need to fix it. They think someone has found out their secret and might tell, now they must find out a way to keep it a secret or they will have to face the consequences. R.L. Stine
   has done it again this is definatly a book to read. Read R.L. Stine's (Fear Street) The Overnight.



5. This book was very good. It showed me a good example of NOT going camping alone. I wanted to read on and on and never stop ~Ann

5 comments about After Hours (Party Room Trilogy).

1. After the first book, needless to say, i was completely hooked. But now that Ive finished the second I know I will NOT be able to put the third one down. Each time I think I know who the killer is theres a twist that reveals that I was completely wrong! I know once I finish this last part its gonna blow my mind. I know Morgan Burke is going to do something totally shocking. For anyone who is deciding whether they should read this trilogy no doubt about it! GO FOR IT!



2. The party room is a really good book. I loved to read it because it is a murder case and I love you read books like that. It was about a girl who is just getting over her best friend who was murdered 18 months ago. She is getting really weird calls from the man who was the murderer and she freaks out. She tries to forget about the man who keeps calling her and goes out to a party and meets this new man and then she starts to like him. Then all of a sudden the man shows up at her house and he just want to talk to her to tell her the real story what happened. He gets into her head; she thinks about it and thinks hard. Then she starts to realize that he might be right. She tries and tries to forget about it and then she tries to figure out who had killed her best friend. The man who told her the story was innocent she then listens to what he has to say. He goes through a really long story and tells her what he did and where he was at, that night and she is trying to remember what and where she was at. Then out of a blink of an eye she knows that he is right and she knows it but how does her prove it to her friends. She tries to tell her friends but they just can't and won't believe her when she is trying to telling them. They think she is a liar and is going psycho. Then she walks away in hand cuffs.



3. This book was such a waste of my time and money.I started it and couldn't finish it.There are many unappropriate scenes in this book.You might wannt to try Lois Duncan,Joan Lowery Nixon,and Caroline B.Cooney if you are looking for good horror-thrillers!



4. I loved this book. Just like the first I could not put it down. You learned more about Sam and some new characters you think may have killed her. At some parts I had no idea what was going to happen next. I would read this book.



5. This book was great. My older sister recommended it to me and i loved it. However, for some kids it might not be appropriate, depending on the situations you grew up in and live in.

5 comments about Last Chance (Fear Street Seniors, No. 5).

1. Okay, nothing even the slight bit scary happened in this book! it was just stupid! I loved allof the seniors books i've read (all of them) except this one.



2. Hi, this is my first time that I get really in touch with a book. What happened was that this book was very different to the ones I had read in the past. The way that touched my feelings, was that their was a senior named Mary O'Connor that believed that Mr.Morley was the only teacher who didn't blame her for what happened last summer. Then Mr.Morley knows that Mary cheated on her Social Studies Midterm, and he acts like he doesn't know nothing. That's when Mr.Morley gets Mary to do what he wants. She wants to get out but she's treat by Mr.Morley, he reveals that every thing he said to her was a lie.



3. I read this book for a credit in my school, FLC. I found the books to be interesting, though on a lower reading level for me. I found myself actually trying to figure out who would be the next senior to die or if one would die at all. If you like a book that will keep you interested but yet also not wrack your brain, then this R.L. Stine series is for you.



4. This book was okay, it could have been better. In my opinion Mary is a bundle of nerves, although doing what she did did proved the girl has some guts! Sometimes the story was hard to follow, but I worked it out in the end. I wished that one of the seniors died in this book though, by book 5 only one senior is dead! (Not that I liked her anyway.) This is a good book, even though the main character is a nervous, worrying heap and the plot was a bit difficult to understand at times. 4 out of 5 this time.



5. Every since I was in fourth or fifth grade, I have loved R.L. Stine's books. I really get into his books. This book in paticular, is very detailed and that helps a lot getting to understand and what is going on. I think that this is one of his better books(if you ask me). 'Last Chance' kept me on my toes while reading. I didn't want to stop reading it! I also really enjoyed how it ended. It wasn't what I had expected it to be at all. I love how it is always twisted at these kinds of books, which makes you keep guessing at what is going to happen next and how the story is going to end. Out of all of the characters, I liked Rob the best. He added a type of suspense since he had a mysterious personality. My favorite part to this book was when Mary is in Mr. Morely's classroom at the very end of the story. It made me start to wonder what either character was going to do/say next. If you like books that are suspenseful, I definitely recommend that you read this well writen mystery book.

5 comments about Dead End (Fear Street, No. 29).

1. It is along the lines of I Know What You Did Last Summer like everyone's saying, but I thought this book was much better. The murders are very creative, and it isa very suspensful. Hard to put down. Good read.



2. it was a very good book,it was very i know what u did last summerish,as alot of people said,but oh well,da book is good,like i said earler,it entertains u enough to keep reading,unlike sum others(The dare any1?)it was unorinagle,and da charcthers were kinda week,and da killer was very stupid and easily guessable,tats my only prob,and da killers death was kinda stupid,but tats all da bad,on wit da good!!!!i relization thing was cool,allthough da "Twist" was kinda predictable,it was fun 2 read.



3. I love all of R.L.stine books. and i reccomend you all of his books.



4. This book was great and had a very surprising ending. You would never suspect the killer until they get the police photos. A must read if you like the Fear Street series.



5. This book is very good. If you liked I Know What You Did Last Summer, you'll like this book. It has the same basic concept but a different ending.

5 comments about The Wrong Number 2 (Fear Street, No. 27).

1. It has been a year after Deena and Jade were almost killed by Stanley Farberson. Also a year when they called a house on Fear Street and heard a murder. Deena and Jade start getting phone calls. Things that only Farberson knows.. Could it be really Farberson?
   
   Well, this book deserves a three since the explanations done by the person responsible for the calls were lame. Scaring someone just because you are jealous? The car wasn't much explained. I must say that this book is like a roller coaster ride.



2. This book is called Wrong Number 2 by R.L.Stine. I'm 11 years old in the 6th grade. I think people ages 11-13 would like this book. The book is about 3 kids going into a house looking for some money. But they find themselves downstairs in the basement. A man came in and lit a candle. Will they ever get out? I guess you will have to read the book to find out. I like scary stories. I liked the part when they were in the house in the basement. And when the man tried to run them over but they got away.



3. I loved the book Wrong Number#2. I am in the 6th grade and 11 years old. I think people ages 9-15 should read it. It is about two girls, Jade and Deena and these two boys Chuck and Farberson. Farberson got out of jail and went to go look for his hidden money. When he went to find it wasn't there. I love the book, it is a good book and at the end it is sad because someone dies. If you want to know how and who you will have to reed the book. And there is something scary. I did not like that part, you might. But the book was good. I hope you have fun with it.



4. The part of the book i read from Wrong Number Two was very good. The kids I think would like this book are 10-14 years old. Also kids who like mystery And suspense stories would like this book. I am in 7th grade when I read this book.This book was about 3 kids who get trapped in a killers world. Then after a year the killer got out of jail. One of the kids went back to find money the killer had hidden. Then the other two kids go to the killers house to go and get him but the killer is on his way. So, after they get there and get him they go to leave but the killer is standing in the doorway. I don't want to give too much away so read the book to find out what happens. I liked this book because it was a mystery and suspense book. That is what wrong number 2 is about.



5. The story I read was Wrong Number 2. It was about three teenag kids, Deena, Jade and Chuck.They had an enemy, Stanley Farberson. Farberson was a murderer and he killed his wife. Now he was put in jail and Deena and Jade are in school. Chuck is in college. One night Deena and Jade came home from school the phone rang Jade asked if she could answer it. Deena picked up the phone 'Hello' she said no reply. 'Hello' she said again. Then a low voice answered 'Is jade there' a man with a scary said.Then he hung up the phone. As soon as Jade walked in the room Deena said ' A man was looking for you' .'Then he hung up' Deena said. 'Oh well'. So all night Deena and Jade were talking about the basketball game they were going to on Friday. At one thirty a.m. Deena went up to here room and went straight to bed. At three a.m the phone rang 'Hello' Deena said. The same man called and he said 'I already called your friend'. This Review Was Written By Ashley Estrada
