I've found with these books so far that none of the characters are really likable. For most of this book I just didn't really care what happened. They were all obnoxious teens. It did keep me guessing though and the two twists at the end were really good. I do have one questions though. I found this one to be a vast improvement over the first installment, "The New Girl." This one kept me guessing right up to the end and I actually gasped aloud at one of the reveals. "The New Girl" had better main characters in Cory and Lisa but the plot of this one was much more satisfying. I think Stine found his groove in the series at this point. I look forward to starting "The Overnight" next. Fear Street # 2 Doing the round of nostalgia blogs, 'The Surprise Party' is not a favorite. I have to disagree. I thought it had a great blend of bizarre twists, hand-steepling villainous thoughts, inhuman behavior and an overall plot that hangs well. I enjoyed the heck out of it, which is kind of the point. Meg Dalton is thrilled to hear her old friend Ellen Mayors is coming back to town for a visit. Meg, Ellen, and Shannon Harper were an inseparable growing up. Shannon dated Ellen's brother Evan, together, along with Meg's boyfriend Tony Colavito, they hung out all the time. Last year, however, Evan was found dead in the Fear Street Woods. His gun accidentally gone off and killed him. He had been found with Ellen and Tony by Meg's cousin Brian. Nothing has been the same since Evan's death. Ellen moved away soon after, Shannon has been somber, and Tony has been acting strangely. He even hangs out with Brian now, who's a total nerd who plays Wizards and Warriors in the Fear Street Woods. Ellen returning as the school year ends means its the perfect excuse for a big surprise party and to pretend that nothing's gone wrong between them all. The only problem is that somebody doesn't want there to be a party. Meg and Tony start receiving threatening phone calls and notes that warn them to put a stop to the party. Or else.... This one had a lot of characters - I couldn't squeeze in a mention of the over-muscled Dwayne of the stained t-shirts who creeps on Shannon all the time above - and there's a supporting cast provided by the main cast of 'The New Girl': Lisa Blume and Cory Brooks and his gymnast friends. Famed Fear Street tramp Suki Thomas makes a party appearance as well - this is the first time we see her spiked-blonde hair and waist-encircling arms in action. I liked that Meg was so stubborn she refused to give in to the anonymous terrorist who keeps ripping up her party invitations and goes on with the party. There were also plausible reasons for not calling in authorities - invitations are being ripped up, the police will get right on that - and there were a few scenes that required parental involvement and. Meg. waited. for. her. dad. Smart girl! She then wanders away from him in the Fear Street Woods, but she tried! I don't want to give anything away, the book is short enough, but I enjoyed the not-so-subtle hints and the pleasure of character-building conversation-filler turning out to matter for the climax of the book. Don't dismiss this one so fast just because it doesn't have anything supernatural involved. Fear Street in Publication Order Next #3: 'The Overnight', Fear Street #3 Previous #1: 'The New Girl', Fear Street #1 This is my first RL Stine (I was a Christopher Pike girl as a teen). I understand why he's popular. The writing is good and the story was twisty/turny, and the ending made sense. It's difficult to not compare it to Pike's books. I feel like Stine is more down to earth and realistic, and Pike is ridiculous and outlandish-almost like Bizarro fiction light. Overall, I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would and look forward to reading more Fear Street. sem crÃticas | adicionar uma crÃtica
