1 comments about Winter (Witch Season).

1. After the second book Kerry has decided to strike out on her own. She is still dedicated to destroying Season and one of her friends has spotted her at a ski resort. Kerry races to the confrontation while the rest of her friends also try to join in the hunt.
   
   But Kerry's life is anything but simple. Her lessons with Mother Blessing and a confrontation with Season serve to bring up more questions that can only be answered by Season. Kerry decides she needs the answers before she can finish her quest to destroy Season and avenge Daniel.
   
   Some wonderful twists in this one. More development of Kerry's friends as well. Another cliff hanger at the end (glad I already have the last book). I really can't figure out just how this is going to end but things are moving fast. Check it out.

5 comments about The Awakening Evil (Fear Street, No. 10).

1. Took a little long to get here but otherwise helpful service and better than expected product would recommend this supplier to anyone!



2. i am a big fan of r.l. stine fear street sagas. i have been reading the series and i have read 1-10 and am waiting for 11 to come in the library. I got it oder! i have been ordering them for ever now and they are all great! the book is about an evil spirt living in an innocent young girls body! it is a total must read!!!!



3. Hi
   I love this book and I think its the best book i've ever read in my whole life. I think this book was more like a romantic book than scary, dont misunderstand me, it did scare the hell out of me for sure, especially the bit when Thomas fell on the boiling water. well,I really like the book anyway. By the way, my favorite carachter is Thomas Fear.I think Mr. Stine used a different idea unlike other authors I've ever read, beacuse most authors end their books in a happily ever after way, but he ended the story the way that both main carachters, Thomas and sarah(Jane) are murdered cruely by Sarah.
   Please Mr.Stine write more books just like The Awakening Evil. Believe me I'll be the first one who'll get hold of your new book. (...)!!!



4. This book is okay its really gory and kinda nasty with all the killing and stuff. When the evil doesn't kill Jason i thought that was the end but it wasn't! I really luv this book. its kinda freaky and scary though, cause the evil talks to her inside her head and stuff.



5. Well, I really liked this book, but there was one tiny problem. This book is a touch gory. But I really liked it. Some of the parts were making me think I didn't (namely the gory parts) but then I decided that I really enjoyed this book.

5 comments about Dracula (Books of Wonder).

1. i have read many vampire books and honestly this was the only one which made me shudder. chilling,fast paced,and superbly written,this book is a must read for every reader. after reading this i truly felt outraged at stephanie meyer for ruining the image of vampires!



2. Dracula is one of my all time favorite vampire novels and I have thoroughly enjoyed having it everywhere I go with my kindle. Thank you amazon.com for making it available to me by kindle.



3. I'm not a thriller fan and don't think I've ever watched the dracula movie all the way through so it's not surprising that I don't like this book. I'm just 80% through with this book and every page is an effort. I try to read one chapter every day (about 10 pages), but it's very easy to put down before I get to the end of the chapter. It is wordy, repetitive, boring. I hate the half-page sentences and page-long paragraphs. On the plus side, it does have a story that follows logically and doesn't have daisies blooming in January. My perception is that the theme is good vs. evil although I'm aware that there are other views. The book is sprinkled liberally throughout with bits of wisdom, and it contains numerous Biblical references. The good guys are bound by a sense of duty. Count Dracula is evil personified. I think editing it and cutting half of it out would improve it a great deal. However, it is a classic and has lasted more than a century so who am I to judge.



4. Very original. I wasnt expecting it to be good but hey it was. Hey guys its not Twilight. There is no such thing as vegeterian vamps in this book :)



5. This is a book that you have to read all the way through. There is no going back in case you missed something. So if you missed something six chapters ago you better book mark each chapter so you can get back to it. Good luck.

5 comments about The Last Scream (Fear Street: Fear Park, No. 3).

1. Synopsis: There have been numerous deaths occurring in Fear Park. A bomb exploded in the `House of Mirrors' killing twelve people; A person got trapped to death beneath the Ferris Wheel; the manager of the Animal Preserve was mauled to death by lions and so on. Due to these strange and bizarre incidents, Fear Park had been closed till now.
   
   Dierdre Bradley has a nightmare about the Park. She dreams about watching the "Hatchet Show", an event that took place at the park in 1935, where some kids who were chopping wood became crazy and started chopping each other to death. In her dream, Dierdre sees her boyfriend Robin chopping others in the group. Dierdre wakes up and foresees her dream as a warning of things to come in Fear Park. Dierdre's father, Jason is the owner of Fear Park and plans to reopen it to the public. Dierdre cannot convince her father to close the park because they have literally invested all their money into its success, and without it, they would be broke.
   
   What Dierdre is unaware of is that her boyfriend Robin Fear is the cause for all the trouble. Robin's father Nicholas, did not want the Bradleys to build an amusement park in his land, but they did anyway, so Robin is trying to fulfill his father's wishes to make sure that Fear Park is closed one way or another, even if it means killing the Bradleys. Having made himself and his girlfriend Meghan immortal, Robin is experienced in the black arts, and chants spells on Jason and Dierdre to close down Fear Park.
   
   However, Robin starts becoming very suspicious when Dierdre starts hanging out with a tall, lanky, red-haired guy named Gary. Robin's attempt at killing Dierdre fails whenever she is with Gary. Robin gets convinced that Gary is an immortal person too, and is protecting Dierdre from Robin's spells. Who will win the battle, Robin or Dierdre?
   
   Review: Since I haven't read the previous two volumes in the "Fear Park" series, I really didn't know what to expect. Even though it is fairly easy to understand the storyline (without reading the previous 2 books), this was a really hard book to read, mainly because it was so gory. I have read a lot of Fear Street books, and I hardly remember any of them having this much violence. Some parts were just disgusting, like when Jason starts removing big fat worms from his throat, or when someone starts vomiting green glob from the Ferris Wheel.
   
   Also, I thought the book ended really abruptly, because there were quite a few issues Stine never gave an explanation to, especially in terms of who Gary really is. Why did he suddenly start hanging around Dierdre in the first place? If he is not immortal, then why didn't Robin's spells work on him?
   
   Even though I enjoyed the twist in the climax of the story, I felt that there was hardly any suspense or fear in the book, and a lot of unnecessary gruesome details. Unless you are a fan of the previous Fear Park novels, I would avoid reading this one.



2. This is the last book of the series. I really enjoyed this series. It is about an amusement park (Fear Park). The series is more on the gory side rather than the cozy side; that's why one star is missing. But I did have fun reading this series, even though there are better R.L. Stine books that I have read.



3. Out of the 3 Fear Park books, this one was definitly the best one. It was a very good book. It always kept you guessing. It was awesome!



4. I LOVE THIS BOOK! I LOVED THE FIRST TO PARTS TO IT TOO! I WAS HOPING ROBIN WOULD KILL HER! HE WAS THE COOLEST CHARACTER! tHREW THE WHOLE BOOK I WAS CHANTING: KILL HER! I DIDN'T LIKE THAT GIRL. (I DON'T EVEN REMEMEBER HER NAME. THIS WAS THE BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ! I ONLY READ FEAR STREET AND LOUIS S.'S BOOKS. I HATE GOOSEBUMPS. BUT THAT'S BESIDE THE POINT. ANY FEAR STRRET BOOK CONNECTING WITH THE FEAR FAMILY AND THIER HISTORY IS AUTOMATICLY GOOD. Oops! Anyways, this is such a good book! I'd read it again if I could find were I put it! I still wish Robin killed that one girl!



5. " The Last Scream" will have anyone screaming! This book is the best R.L. Stine has ever created. I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!!

5 comments about Shattered Mirror.

1. I don't normally read young adult books but I was desperate and this had good reviews. I was only flipping throough it, not really going to read it but after reading the first chapter I read it through in one sitting.
   
   Vida, the vampire slayer, befriends two weak vampires and discovers the world is not black in white. (Its actually amusing that the vampires have similar qualities to Twilights' vampires although this one was written 7 yrs earlier.)
   
   Overall, an enjoyable book for all ages.



2. Shattered Mirror is the third book by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes, and it doesn't disappoint me. I first started reading this author's books in middle school, and I'm now an adult. I decided to reread this book because of my fond memories of it and to see if I still like it or if nostalgia has clouded my memory. Well...I still liked it! Not to say that this book doesn't have its share of flaws, but it also has many positive points (at least in my opinion).
   
   The story this time follows Sarah Vida, a witch and vampire hunter. She tries to please her sister and over-strict mother, but never seems to measure up to their standards. When she moves to a new school, she is befriended by two weak vampires. Obviously, her family disapproves and the whole situation escalates out of control... Clearly there's much more to the story than that, but I don't want to spoil it.
   
   Amelia's first book was written about a vampire, and her second book followed the exploits of a human protagonist. This book is about a witch, and I really enjoy the variety that the author is giving us. As with "Demon in my View", familiar characters appear, whom you would recognize if you have read the previous two books. It's a nice little easter egg for those who've been following the author's work. However, the stories are not direct sequels of each other and can be enjoyed without having read the other books. The only downside is that you might be a little confused about exactly what powers the vampires of her universe have, what the witches powers are, what "blood-bonded" means, etc. Although these things are explained briefly within this book, they are explained in better detail in some of her other books. Ultimately you can still read this book without having read any of the others and still enjoy it though.
   
   Now, while I really enjoyed this book, it has some aspects about it that some would consider flaws. In other words, this book is not for everyone. Firstly, it's short. This book is exactly 227 pages long, so those that want a long, 500-page novel will be disappointed. I really like this aspect of her books though, because I enjoy the fact that I can finish a book quickly and move on to other things. For the young adult genre though, shortness isn't unusual. Another flaw that people might pick up on is that Amelia is not exactly a writer of fine literature. Yes, people, the writing is simple, and yes, she likes to use the word "sapphire" a lot (some have likened it to bad fan-fiction), and yes, the writing isn't going to win any awards. Personally, I don't care. It's still entertaining and I'm more than happy with it. I've also found that her novels are the kind you can read again after some time has passed--which is great since I can't normally stand to re-read books.
   
   Overall, I recommend this book if you happen to fall into the age range of teens or young adults. At that age, the "simple" writing shouldn't offend. However, if you're an adult that likes vampires, isn't too picky, likes their novels on the short side, and is a bit open-minded, then I would also recommend this for you, too. Happy reading!



3. This was the very first book i read from Ameila and let me say it had my attention from the start...when i was a teenager at least! First off if anyone wants a good read for adults..look in the adult section for that! But for teenagers this is a good book! I loved all the characters in the book and i couldnt put it down but once again it was a short read but a good read!



4. I loved the story line and the characters but the book was pretty superficial, barely skimming over what could've been a richly detailed start to a series.
   Quite frankly, I am very disappointed that there was no sequel, let alone a series to follow. Hopefully, Ms. Atwater-Rhodes will pick up where she left off and tell us more about Sara, Christopher, Nicholas and Nissa. I am also curious about Adianna and the Vidas, along with Single Earth.



5. Amelia Atwater-Rhodes seems to be capturing everyones focus on amazon, so being the open minded person i am i decided to read some of her books, this book being one of the books i chose.
   I love vampire books, they just are always interesting and romantic, but this book made me want to throw it away... i almost did, but i didnt want to waste my money.
   The cover and description all seem really interesting, but its far from it
   Yes the author was young and yet she had amazing diction and word choice, but thats all she had.
   The romance, if you could call it romance, was horrible. You never really seemed to connect with either of them on a personal level and it got so annoing how much she freaked out when she was around him. "this is so wrong" "im breaking all the rules" blah blah...
   The action was decent but it was just boring. After reading that i read Frostbite and that totally blew Shattered Mirror out of the water.
   This was a short, boring read that had a very bad ending.
   Don't waste your money.. i did.

5 comments about The Angel Chronicles, Volume 2.

1. The Angel chronicles books are adapatations of Buffy tv series episodes. The episodes done here are Halloween, where Ethan Rayne's costume shop makes you become what your costume represents, and the two What's My Line episodes, where Kendra the Slayer comes to town, and Spike manages to get the du Lac magic going for Drusilla. Buffy also has to deal with the Order of Taraka wanting to remove her live status.



2. ANGEL CHRONICLES VOL. 2
   Richie Tankersley (1999), based on teleplays "Halloween" by Carl Ellsworth, "What's My Line, Part 1" by Howard Gordon & Marti Noxon, and "What's My Line, Part 2" by Marti Noxon

   RATING: 3/5 Stakes

   SETTING: Season Two

   CAST APPEARANCES: Angel, Buffy, Cordelia, Spike, Xander, Willow, Giles, Principal Snyder, Larry, Ethan Rayne, Drusilla, Oz, Dalton, Kendra, Willy

   BACK-OF-THE-BOOK SUMMARY: "The course of love in Sunnydale never runs smoothly, especially for Buffy Summers the Vampire Slayer and her boyfriend, Angel the vampire. They're going through the usual early stages of a romantic relationship--dressing to impress, going on coffee dates, and saving the world. When Buffy tries to be more like the girls from Angel's distant past, she succeeds a little too well--becoming helpless in the face of real evil.
   Career week at school finds Buffy questioning her future as the Slayer--and all the relationship baggage that title comes with--until an unexpected ally gives new insight into her calling. And when Angel is taken hostage by an old aquaintance [sic] with sinister plans, Buffy realizes she must draw on all her passion to save the one she loves. Now, collected for the first time, are three stories from the hit-TV series chronicling Buffy and Angel's growing romantic relationship."

   REVIEW

   Volume 2 of the Angel Chronicles novelizes three strong Second Season episodes. The novelizations stick very close to the scripts, with the only original material being a new prologue and a new epilogue.

   In "Halloween," Buffy and her friends are transformed into the people they've dressed up as for Halloween--thus, Willow becomes a real ghost, Xander becomes a soldier, and Buffy turns into a simpering eighteenth century noblewoman. A good example of how the show can be humorous without becoming stupid and silly (contrast some season four episodes) makes "Halloween" a good read.

   "What's My Line" parts 1 and 2 introduce Kendra the Vampire Slayer and sees Buffy attempting to survive a trio of assassins while facing teen career-fair angst. These episodes have some fun action sequences, introduce a whole new dimension to Cordelia and Xander's relationship, and provide more insight into how Buffy views her life. Spike and Drusilla play a major role in part 2.

   Much like Volume 1 of the Chronicles, Angel fans should note that their gel-haired favorite is mostly on the sideline in the first story, although "Halloween" does have a few touching scenes involving Buffy and Angel's failed first date.
   The "What's My Line" stories contain more Angel, as his presence is a major plot point in Spike and Drusilla's plans.

   Overall, Richie Tankersley delivers a smooth, straightforward adaptation of all three episodes with no surprises.




3. Whether or not you have seen the episodes "Halloween," and "What's My Line" parts 1 and 2, this book is a must have for all Buffy and Angel fans. Tankersley takes you into the minds of the characters, and gives you a glimpse of the motives for the action we see on television.

   "Halloween" is one of the funiest episodes in the BTVS series. All hell breakes loose when the population of Sunnydale is transformed into their halloween costumes. And who is there to fight the children turned demons? Not the slayer, who unfortunately believes herself to be a noblewoman from the 18th century! There is a serious side to the episode, however. The appearance of an old friend reveals secrets Giles would rather have remain hidden.

   "What's my Line" is an emportant episode in the Buffy mythology. Besides bringing up the possibility of there being two slayers in one time, we also see the beginings of a beautiful relationship between Willow and Oz!

   A good read, and definately worth the buy!




4. This volume is the novelization of 3 excellent episodes: Halloween - Buffy wants to impress Angel by dressing as a 18th century lady. However Giles'old friend Ethan casts a spell which turns everyone into the character their costume represents. Buffy is helpless and Spike is on the move. What's My Line, Part one and two - Spike sends bounty hunters to kill Buffy. He captures Angel to use him in a ritual to cure Dru and there is a new slayer in town.

   The three stories focus on Angel's love for Buffy. Also Buffy comes face to face with the problem of a slayer loving a vampire. Everyone wants Angel dead and Buffy is determined to stop them because as she says, "Nobody messes with my boyfriend."




5. I read all 3 of them. the frist one was my fav. but this onewas right up there!

5 comments about Door to Alternity: The Unseen Trilogy, Book 2 (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel crossover).

1. I can't figure out what Salma is runnign from even tough i read books 2 and 3 of the crossover!!!



2. The only reason im giving this book 2 stars is because of buffy good looks and willow"s magic powers but apart from that this story is bull theres too much talking and stuff going on and theres practicaly no action i thought buffy slayed demons but this is in about 5 places at once and its really confusing safe your money and get the best buffy book Tales Of The Slayer



3. Mainly seems to be setting things up for the finale. Had some moments I found intriguing, and some interesting perspective on Buffy/Angel during the time of Buffy/Riley, but its nowhere near up to the level of the Christopher Golden/Nancy Holder collaborations.



4. the next book, the Long Way Home was better. I didn't buy The Burning, but I don't think I missed much. This book just wasn't very interesting to me. The Long Way Home wasn't even that great, but it was better than this book. It's missing something that I can't quite put my finger on.



5. "Door to Alternity," the second in the "Unseen" Buffy/Angel crossover trilogy, offers us an explanation for why people are disappearing in Los Angeles while monsters are popping up all over the place in Sunnydale. But what is more interesting is what we discover to be the power behind the opening of these doors to "alternity," as Nancy Holder and Jeff Mariotte offer an interesting twist on the downfall of the Soviet Union. Now we understand why the Russian Mafiya has been playing so prominent a role in the proceedings. However, overall "Door to Alternity" is pretty much a holding pattern for the Vampire Slayer and her former beau, as well as the supporting players. By the end of the book is it finally time for Buffy and Angel to go do something about it and all you can say is "About time."

   The idea of "alternity" is certainly interesting, but the explanation gets held off for over 200 pages and there is no exploration of the concept in this novel. For those of us who were so impressed by "The Ghost Roads," the second book in the first Buffy the Vampire Slayer trilogy, "Door to Alternity" suffers in comparison, but to be fair, most Buffy books would. Among the supporting cast Wesley has a couple of nice moments, Willow gets to be a bird (but does not get to learn as much as I would have wished from Dona Pilar), Anya continues to say the wrong things (usually about sex) at each and every opportunity, and Gunn gets to take a road trip to Sunnydale. But now that this second book has put (almost) all the pieces in place, it is time to see if Holden and Mariotte can put it into high gear for the finale.

5 comments about Got Fangs?.

1. I got this book because I had previously read the Aisling Grey book by Katie MacAlister and was curious about her young adult books. Katie Maxwell is the name Katie MacAlister uses for her young adult books. This book is the first book in the Goth series. There is one other book after this one called "Circus of the Darned". I actually really liked this book it was a cute, fun and fluffy little read.
   
   Francesca is just your average sixteen year old, except for a couple small facts. First she can read people and objects by touching them with her bare skin (history and what they are thinking). Second she is stuck traveling with the GothFaire through Europe with her mother who is a bonafide witch. More than anything she just wants to be a normal girl. That is until she gets run over by a motorcycle driven by Benedikt (Ben) Czerny. Ben is a Dark One (vampire) and tells Fran that she is his Beloved and destined to bring light into his life. Well, that is all and good, but first things first. Someone is stealing money from the GothFaire; can Fran figure out who it is before the Faire has to shut down for good? How is she going to deal with this Ben guy claiming that they are eternally linked?
   
   This book was a lot of fun. For being such a slim novel it packs a lot of story. Maxwell introduces some interesting beliefs about vampirism (it is linked to male descendants) and also hints at some more interesting plot points (such as the horse, Tesla) that weren't fully addressed in this book.
   
   The plot clips along at a quick place. Fran is a funny and endearing character that is a lot of fun to read about. Ben is a great character too. All the supporting characters are well-crafted and fun. I really enjoyed the book. Keep in mind this is meant to be a light read. It is amusing and cute, predictable but lovable. A nice, quick diversion from heavier topics. The dialogue gets a little over-the-top silly at times, but I found it charming rather than annoying. This is one of those books where even the evil guys aren't all that evil.
   
   This is a very short book. At under 200 pages it only takes 2-3 hours to read, but it is fun. If you are looking for something light-hearted and fun I would recommend this. I am excited to read the next book "Circus of the Darned" and am curious to find out if Maxwell is planning any more books with these fun characters!



2. I liked this book. It was a nice read. The only problem I had with it is due to a printing error. Because of this printing error, the pages go as follows; 121, 132, 133, 124, 125, and so on. 132 and 133 take the place of 122 and 123......these pages never appear in the copy I recieved. Beside's missing two pages, I liked the story. It was a fast read, and it was cute. I'm buying the second book for sure. Great for any vampire romance person, or for any paranormal fan.



3. Got Fangs is a fun, short read. Although I have not read any of Katie Maxwell's other books, I liked her writing style very much. It reminds me of MaryJanice Davidson's Queen Betsy series (lmao damn i like those books). Francesca (Fran) wasn't a dorky "oh pitty me" type of girl, and isn't a fashion-model-petite (that gets pretty annoying in books, the main character being a small petite lil thing), so I liked her character. The vampire - excuse me, Dark One ;) - named Benedikt (sp?) is a macho "its-my-job-to-protect-the-women" type of guy, which is usually annoying but the author was very good at not over-doing it so it wasn't a bad annoying, just a "he's being like that again?" type of thing. Anyway, I had fun reading this book and got quite a few good laughs out of it, plus it was interesting enough to keep my attention, while not being a "serious" read.



4. I cannot wait to see what happens in the following book, Great Read.



5. Fran just wants to be a typical teenager. Unfortunately this is impossible since her mother has decided to take Fran away from her school and friends so that they can join a traveling carnival of psychics, mediums and magicians that can do real magic. Even more distressing to Fran is her secret ability which gives her way more in common with the carnival workers than she likes. However, someone is stealing from the fair and might just shut it down. Just as Fran begins to think she might get her wish to go home she meets Ben, a very hunky vampire with a very personal interest in Fran. Ben, combined with Fran's surprising new pet horse, Tesla, are now making Fran second guess her desire to be anywhere but where she is. But, can Fran find the thief before the fair is shut down for good?
   
   I can't believe that Got Fangs? has escaped my vampire obsessive notice for this long. With a mixture of adventure, mystery and romance I found I really enjoyed this story very much. I found the characters to be interesting and well written and Katie Maxwell certainly makes a wonderful addition to my list of favorite young adult vampire genre authors.

5 comments about Oz: Into the Wild.

1. For a book based on a t.v. series, I wasn't expecting much or didn't know what to expect at all.
   
   I am surprised and I've come to love this book. Oz was always one of my favorite characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I'd always hoped he'd come back, that we'd see more of him.
   
   This book felt like it gave some closure as to what happened with Oz and what he went on to do. It really was far better then what ever vague ideas I'd have.



2. It's a great idea for Oz to go to a Buddhist monastery in search of control, but contemporary Tibet just isn't the place for that to be happening. Newsflash to Christopher Golden: Tibet has been occupied by the Chinese for a while and the monasteries have been either destroyed or turned into tourist showplaces empty of spirituality. If Golden had transplanted the story line to Nepal, it would have worked very nicely. On the other hand, a wolfed out Oz unleashed on the Chinese occupying forces, might have been a powerful deterrent to genocide.



3. This book definitely hits one of the few sour notes in an otherwise high-quality 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' comicbook series. To start off, readers are given a somewhat generic story of Oz wandering through Hong Kong and Tibet in search of answers on how to control his werewolving ways. The story is predictable and a yawner, offering little in the way of furthering character development in an ancillary Buffy character - Oz. Equally dull is the artwork with little in the way of flair or panache to further stimulate visual interest. I'd recommend reading this only if you can come across a copy on the cheap or for the most hardcore Buffy/Oz fans. Otherwise they are plenty more worthwhile volumes in this series worth your coin and reading time.



4. A Buffy book that I actually liked, which I think is saying a lot because I dont like a lot of the Buffy books out there. Its a shame that you knew what would happen to Oz, but this book is still really good and kept me hooked the whole time!

   Summary: After the Veruca incident, Oz goes on a search to find a way to tame his inner wolf. As he searches, he goes to new places, makes new friends, and is forced to doge both old and new enemies. Will Oz ever be able to find the peace and balance he needs to come to terms with the animal inside him and with himself?

   I will admit that Oz is sometimes out of character with the cursing and all, but this is still an awesome book! I wish that Oz and Jinian hooked up, but you cant always get what you want. I think Christopher Golden is one of the best Buffy and Angel authors ever!




5. I enjoyed the book. It wasn't spectacularly insightful, but it didn't leave me bored, either. Those who complain that the character is not Oz seem to be completely discounting what we saw in the character in Season 4-- when he left and when he came back. Not to say the characterization wasn't a bit off some places (I can't see Oz "swearing loudly"), but not to the degree other reviews would suggest.

5 comments about The Star Group.

1. Ive always love'd his book's it sent me far away worlds and I got to see things though the main story tellers eye's as always his work is wonderful . his work is better then any movie or tv show out there I challage anyone to read his books and if they dont like it they probley have bad taste . ya I am a teen 22 years of age but as a kid these books saved my life. I felt like I was in another world a better one.



2. Ok, the beginning of the book was excellent but as soon as the deaths start occuring, things start to get a little rushed! You're probably hearing this from a lot of people because it's true! The ending simply felt as if Pike had 2 minutes remaining in a deadline he had to make. I mean near the end, deaths were happening too fast! It left me unsatisfied and with a big "?" mark over my head. Since I am a sensitive person, it actually almost had me crying but I was too confused and dissapointed to. The book isn't bad at all, it's just not Pike's best. I would recommend reading the Last Vampire series, Chain Letter series, and Scavenger Hunt.



3. I'm a major Pike fan, i own 29 of his books and read 22 of his books. The other books i've read by him i got a sense of them being complete, full and besides wondering how he wrote such novels and a wish for more sequels, i never had any questions. This book to me felt incomplete.

   There's a lot of foreshadow he could've used, especially with the details on the waves and how Danny waterskied and more about his love for Gale. All I wondered was besides mentor's disapproval how else was the scene significant to the plot of the story? I don't mean to spoil the book for those who didn't read it. The book started out beautifully, but from middle to end it felt like a waste and that he was in a hurry. It had a lot of promise, and I personally wish he would rewrite it. I would try to rewrite it, but then that'll be considered illegal.




4. This is the story of a group of friends who take a little vacation after they graduate from high school. While up there, odd things start to happen. A mystery unfold, one that leads to deaths. The end of the book ties the whole thing together, as most of Pike's books do. I loved this book and the way Pike always surprises you with what happens at the end



5. I overall liked this book, what i found was that at first.. the storyline went really slow, then nothing happened, then boom! it's the climax.. then.. what just happened? u think to urself, the back cover confused me, and some of the writing was just too odd, like how they talk to him... some of it's ok, some of it was stupid, like too much death too fast!
