Didn't Take me long!

It didn't take me long to read this great book! I usually hate to read, but this book grabbed my attention and kept it. It usually takes me like a couple of weeks to read most books, but I read this book in two short nights because I couldn't put it down! Plus I had a book report to do on the second night, but that's not important, what's important is, is that this is a great book and you, yes YOU should read it now. You won't regret it! I won't tell you everything that happens in the book because blabbermouth above ^ already did that. No offense to blabbermouth.

This book is very scary and exciting.

Catherine Belmont's favourite soap opera is Lost River. She's so involved in it she dresses like the main character, Cassandra Bly and even gets her hair cut in the same style. Catherine starts to think she is Cassandra. Weird things start to happen to her, things that happen to Cassandra in Lost River. Then Catherine gets kidnapped and taken to a cabin in the mountains.

The Watcher is a fantastic book. It's a very exellent book that gives us readers heaps of fun. Out of alll the horror books I've read, I think The Watcher is the most terrifying novel. It's so unrealistic and thats why I love it.

This is the best supense.book i've read

If you like supense or spine-tingling tales your sure to love The Watcher. It's a REALLY twisted tale, especially the ending! Cathrine is my favourite character. Although Travis is kind of weird. Oh well, I guess"it's for me to know and YOU to find out!" P.S.I gave it 9 out of 10 for it's super supense!

Catherine Belmont gets really into Cassandra's character.

The main character in this book is Catherine Belmont, she lives with her mother in an apartment. Her father past away when she was very small. Albert is the landlord and lives downstairs ,but Catherine calls him old Albert because his very grouchy. Catherine loves soap operas and she often day dreams about being one of the stars in the show. She is hooked on a soap opera called- lost river. She watches it during her lunch time in school at Mr. Andersens appliances. Catherine imagines that she is Cassandra Bly the star of the show. Both of them look very alike physically. Her best friends are Liz and Kate.Both of them think that Catherine is obsess with Cassandra Bly, because Catherine dresses like her and she even cut her hair exactly like her. Kate is also her neighbor and he is in love with her, but Catherine does not like him. One day Catherine meets a guy named Travis which she is really attracted to and thats when she realizes that many of the things that are happening to Cassandra Bly in the soap opera start happening to her. Catherine starts to get really scared because now she has to watch the soap opera to see whats going to happen to her next! I think that this book is nice but is not as scary as it looks in the cover.
