Customer Reviews

Great Book!

Road Trip, the fourth and final installment of the Friday the 13th series by Eric Morse is an excellent book, completing Morse's round up of loose ends left over by the movies!! With Road Trip, Morse concludes the series with some very unforgettable scenes. I don't want to give too much away, (especially for price!)Road Trip begins when a bus loaded with football players, cheerleaders, and a mascot goes off course and crashes into Camp Crystal Lake, of course murderous hilarity ensues! Any fan of the Friday the 13th movies will absolutely love these books, my personal favorite being Carnival. I'm sorry but when I talk about these books I have got to praise Eric Morse a lot, he wrote these books so well at times I felt I was actually in them, that is how good these books are and completely make them worth the money. To tell you the truth, these books are probably better than the upcoming Jason X release and promise to give you more enjoyment.

This book was great but not really scary.

It was a good book but not as scary as "The Carnival". Teddy, got his revenge with the mask, for being treated like dirt. Some of the killings were pretty grousome. It wasn't exactly what I expected from the title "Road Trip". Eric Morse is a great author and I would like it if this wasn't his last Friday the 13th book.

Of the four books in the series, this ranks #3

This was the first F13 that I read. I read it over after reading the other F13 novels, and I found this one to be...different. As someone else reviewing this said, it isn't really a horror story. No, it isn't. The story is deeper then that. It lets the school mascot, the geek who is tortured at school, relieve his inner pain when he gets a hold of the hockey mask. The story is almost dramatic in a way. It's weird, but a very interesting idea. In this story, the victims deserve everything they get. Now, for the many who say all books made from movies don't have anything to do with the films (the Halloween series and this) that doesn't matter much. And really, this book is a lot like the movie. The revenge part. The mascot getting revenge is just like Jason in the movies. Of what I know, no one liked Jason as a kid befire he died in the movies. In a background kind of way, the two have a bond. This was a very creepy story, but I know there could have been a little more. The setting was very scary, and it wasn't milked for all the fear it could have made someone feel. The ending was okay; I didn't love it, but I didn't hate it. I recommend Mother's Day, the first of the series. It is, in my opinion, the best of all in the series and it seems a lot like the movies, except more creative.

a great book

This book was just fantastic! I first saw at my school libary and read it as an english report. I got so hooked I ended up delaying my homework to read this suspensful book. It's not exactly a horror story, most of what makes this book so great is that it keeps you on the edge of your seat without disgusting you with unreasonable amounts of gore. The story involves many items typicall of the movies, including a fast-moving boyfriend and even a bimbo!
