Beach House

Do you like beastly massive murder? In this exciting murder mystery called Beach House by R.L. Stine you will be hooked and won't be able to put it down. It is about a group of teens who go to the beach for some fun in the sun but are shocked and scared to see a brutal killer on the lose. You won't know what is about to happen until it happens and you will be shocked beyond misery. I liked this book because of its suspense, which is better then in any other book I have ever read. I also like this book because of it's interesting plot line, and finally it's great characters.

This book will keep you in for the whole book. You will be shocked when every exciting event occurs. It's impossible to predict what's going to happened you will be so amazed by it.

Next, this book has a very good plot line. It is a bout how a teenage boy starts killing his friends because they pulled a joke on him. He wasn't caught though because he found a way to escape to the future and under a new name, which is Brad and he starts killing again and there is only one problem and one person who can stop him who is one person who hw has already killed.

Finally, I like this book because of its interesting characters. One thing I like about them is that they are dynamic characters and they change throughout the book. They will trick you by being the nicest person in the world and then they will try o kill you the next day.

I think you will like this massive murder book because of it's great suspense, which will keep you in it for the whole book and it will keep you guessing, it also has a great plot line, and it has very interesting characters.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK DESERVES 1OO STARS!, June 26, 2003

"muscle_boy03" (Coral Springs, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beach House (Point Horror Series) (Paperback)

Like I said before. This book deserves more than 5 stars. I read it like five times in a row and I still plan on reding it again. That is how good and utterly creepy it is. When I first began to read this book, I was wondering why Stine kept on switching from time to time. But then at the ending I realize why. Then I also wondered why it was called beach house but the ending also explaines that too. There is really one killer but in a way, there's really three. I was so shocked when i read the ending. This is the BEST BEST BEST BEST BEST book that Stine has ever wrote. It has suspence, romance, horror and a totally heart sanking conclusion. Shoppers who are reading my review, you will not regret buying this book. It is just wonderful. I RECCOMEND! BUY THIS BOOK! IT IS REALLY GOOD!

4.0 out of 5 stars Too Cool to Live, February 14, 2005

By 

CKMAC1612 "CKMAC1612" (new jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Beach House (Point Horror Series) (Paperback)

"The sun is hot. The water is cold. And the kids are cool. To cool to live." (Beach house, R.L. Stine)
It all started, summer of 1956, when Amy and Ronnie went down the shore for their summer vacation, and nothing but bad things happened. The thrill of this book is magnificent. It keeps you reading and the pages just turn for you. After every chapter, Stine leaves you hanging which makes the book even more interesting to read.
This book had many exhilarating moments. It made you want to keep reading and never stop. The first person that made this book exciting was Maria. Maria was the first to be killed by Buddy. She met Buddy on the beach one of the first days she was there. Buddy killed Maria, but Maria didn't like him back so when she lied to him, it made him want to kill her; which he eventually did.
Another thing that put the thrill into this book was Buddy. Buddy showed up on the beach one-day, "supposedly" just looking for friends. After people betrayed him, he then murdered them, one by one. First, with Maria, then Stuart (etc.), people just kept disappearing, being murdered by this psychotic person, Buddy. Buddy then vanished almost completely for days after the murders occurred. People also found out that Buddy had a secret and was trying to hide something because he told everyone that the beach house was his, but really, it wasn't. If it wasn't Buddy's then who's was it?
One final thing that makes you not want to put the book down is how there is a secret behind every murder. After the murders occur with the few clues that there are, everything starts to make sense. After Stuart's death, Buddy had blood all over his t-shirt. After the murders occur, there's something that clicks that tells you he did it.
This book was so good that I didn't want to put it down. It was so thrilling and I really like that and the suspense of every chapter gave you. But on the other hand, I didn't like that some of the scenes or parts in the book were very unrealistic. Towards the end of the book, something's were very unbelievable. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a thriller and books that keep you in suspense.
