5.0 out of 5 stars Third and Final Book in The Fear Street Saga
New Orleans, Louisiana--1845

2.0 out of 5 stars Cursed Forever
The Burning is one of the sagas set in days of old explaining the curse that possesses Fear Street.it is an interesting read but it involves much death and is not a cheery book by any means.So I am wondering if it is really worth it.There isn't really a positive aspect or moral to it.Except, perhaps, that the Fear family's own evil is what eventually destroyed them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Third and Final Book in The Fear Street Saga, March 11, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Burning (The Fear Street Saga #3) (Mass Market Paperback)
New Orleans, Louisiana--1845

From the moment Simon Fear saw Angelica Pierce at her Mardi Gras party, he knew he had to have her, even if that meant killing her two suitors. However, Angelica has a surprise of her own--she is just as eager to get rid of them as he is. She later reveals to Simon that she, too, is involved in the occult and wishes to manifest her "power through evil". Clearly, these two are a match made in hell, perfect for each other.

Twenty years pass and Simon and Angelica Fear now live in Shadyside Village. They have five children and are extremely wealthy. It seems as though Simon has finally fled his family curse. That is, until one horrible afternoon when two of his daughters are brutally murdered in a twisted turn of events. Thereafter, the Fear couple shut themselves in and refuse to ever leave their mansion.

It's not until 35 years later, in 1900, that the final climax to the Fear-Goode saga occurs when Daniel Fear (the grandson of the above couple) falls in love with Nora Goode, a descendent of the Fear's mortal enemies. Nora is the one responsible for starting this trilogy in the hopes that the centuries-old battle between the Fears and Goodes would finally come to an end. And it does, but not exactly as she had hoped.

"The Burning" is the third and final book in The Fear Street Saga, preceded by "The Betrayal" (#1) and "The Secret" (#2). This is a must-read for those of you who have already read the previous two books. Highly recommended for Fear Street fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of the Parts of All!, April 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Burning (The Fear Street Saga #3) (Mass Market Paperback)
The Fear Street Saga: The Burning was the best part of the books of all! Especially about Simon Fear how he had escaped the curse for a little while by changing his spelling of his last name. It didn't work when his two daughter were at each other! And then when Daniel came to visit that his Granfather Simon and Grandmother Angelice went out of their minds. I like the romance when Nora and Daniel decided to hook-up. That was awesome. I like that the best, and when they sneak out to get marry, but then what was really sad was that Daniel had plemish with his grandparents in the fire! I hate that!

This book was absoutely great! I suggesty this book to all Fear Street lover who like different combinations of events. Go out and buy or borrow! This book is TIGHT!

5.0 out of 5 stars R. L. Stine is the best writer!!, July 30, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Burning (The Fear Street Saga #3) (Mass Market Paperback)
Simon thought he could escape his family's curse by changing his last name from Fier to Fear. He was dead wrong. The Fiers and the Goodes have been at each other's throat ever since the fiers had an innocent girl put to death. Her father (a Goode) put a curse on the Fiers so that he could get his revenge on the Fiers.

This is a tragic story. I read this book in less than 4 hours. The plot is gruesome and there's a lot of twists in it. The part when Simon and Angelica drank blood was just disgusting but it goes to show how evil they were! i recommend this book to anyone who loves a good horror story. This is the most intriguing book i ever read. All that's missing is a happy ending.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Fear Street Saga!, August 23, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: The Burning (The Fear Street Saga #3) (Mass Market Paperback)
It was began just a fire. Not just an ordinary fire. A fire that killed an innocent woman. It began with with 2 families: the Goode and the Fier. Susannah Goode was burned at stake with her mother. The 2 innocent women died because of fault accusation of being a witch, doing magic. Then the father of Susannah Goode, George, never forgave for what the Fier did. They took everything from him, money, his wife, his daughter. He set the curse on the Fier family. Jonathan Fier thought if a Goode and a Fier could be together the curse will break. He was wrong. Very wrong! Simon Fier thought if he change the last name Fier to Fear would end the curse. He was deadly wrong! Simon wants the beautiful Angelica Pierce than anything else in the world. He would do anything for her. Then the curse back again when a Goode appear. Nora know the family history. Can she stops the curse before it too late?

5.0 out of 5 stars It was very, and I mean very, bloody., July 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Burning (The Fear Street Saga #3) (Mass Market Paperback)
I think this is the best out of the three. The end was so good. The story was well written. I felt I was in the book. There has to be a movie of this book. I loved the blood. I loved how a dude's head was crushed in the paddleboat. That was so cool. Read it. Love it. Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Danny's review, December 12, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Burning (The Fear Street Saga #3) (Mass Market Paperback)



I was reading The Burning by R.L. Stine. This book was a pretty good book; out of ten I would give this book a high eight. I liked this book because of all mystery and horror combined.

In this book it is told by Nora Goode, who is married to one of the Fears. In this book it is about how this guy Simon Fear goes to this party and falls in love with Angelica Goode. But Angelica has two guys that are really wealthy and smart and handsome. So Simon kills both of them and marries Angelica. Then bad luck comes back to Simon. He kills his own daughter. Now Daniel has to go for Simon's birthday.
and mystery. They would like this because it is all mystery and horror. So read this book
A person who would like this is a person who likes horror

5.0 out of 5 stars After "The Betrayal". the best Fear Street book, November 18, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Burning (The Fear Street Saga #3) (Mass Market Paperback)
Nora's story drws to a close, as she tells the final, and scariest chapter in the Fear Street Saga. Here is where the Fear family meets it's firey end, and where the curse may have ended, but the terror just got started.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Fire, April 10, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Burning (The Fear Street Saga #3) (Mass Market Paperback)
I really liked this book, the first sagas are some of my favorite but I was disappointed when I learned what actually caused the fire. Yes, I'm sure even candles on a birthday cake can be dangerous and start a fire for sure, but it seemed too trivial for the story. Plus, the fact that Simon caused the fire by tring to get out of his wheelchair and just knocking the cake over just seems too mundane and even a little ridiculous!!
