Who Will Die Next?

This book starts out very weird, but then you know what's going on. I think it was pretty good, except there are too many surprises. You think someone dies when he or she doesn't. Or you think the main character will die in the next chapter, but I think it was not bad at all.

Curtains

The book Curtains by R.L. Stine is a wonderful book. It was interesting and very simple, yet moving. When I started reading the book, surprisingly, it pulled me into its world of mystery and horror. I felt as though I was the main character in the story. The way the author used descriptive language really made me visualize what actually happen in the story. I liked the characters in the story. My favorite character was Rena. I felt the same pain she felt in the story. In Curtains Rena hid a dark secret she developed three years ago. She thought it would be hidden for good, but when Rena came to a summer theater camp, she was given the star role of the play, Curtains. During an onstage performance, a Broadway director drives Rena's secret out of her. Because of her star role, she is the envy of the evil and malevolent Hedy, who promised her she would never play the star role. After the performance scary things start happening to Rena. If you want to find out more, read the story. I recommend this book to young adults who like horror, drama and suspense. Like R.L. Stine's book The Confession, Curtains is a book that pulls you into its own world. I think R.L. Stine is a great author, and I hope he writes more books for kids to read.

My book was about a murder mystery at an acting camp.

I like this book because it keep you on your toes it always surprised you and you never know what's going to happen next. This book is an challenging to read but that's what made it so good!

A good drama thriller.

If you like mysteries, you'll like this one. I read it and was grossed out in some parts. Other than those parts, it was fine. I have read over 20 of R.L. Stine's thrillers and I would rate this one of his best. By the way, don't eat before 1 part. It's kinda strange.Good thing it's all acting!! If you remember that, I bet you will enjoy this book.
