This could be one of R. L. Stine's most terrifying tales being that it has no supernatural elements and the evil within is purely from humans thereby making it very realistic. I say could have been and not is, because the story is very predictable. At the end of every chapter, which are only a couple of pages at most, something happens in the form of a cliff hanger, then the very first sentence of the next there's a twist and its not what the former chapter implied. This is a good thing for any story but only when it's done in moderation. The fact that every chapter you are reading has a twist has the reader knowing the next one will have one as well. The twists are pretty easy to work out when you are on the look out for them thereby eliminating the point of the twists, surprising the reader.

It's a good basic tale, not completely original mind you but a good tale to give anyone to read in their tent if they're going camping or on a hiking trip. For those who are new to reading at this level, the twists may well be surprising but anyone who has been reading for a while whether at this level or not will probably not be too satisfied.

If you have no idea what Camp Out is about it's the tale of three high school girls who plan a hiking and rockclimbing trip alone to get over failed relationships. The story is told through the eyes of one of the girls, Maria who is the reluctant one of the three to rough it in the great outdoors. They refuse an offer by three boys their age and a bit older to join them and set out alone. Soon their lives are threatened over and over again. They soon run into the boys which brings comfort for them all. If they think the threats to their lives are over, they are dead wrong!

If you don't mind predictability then you will really enjoy this book. If not you'll still enjoy it, but not to any great extent.

I DON'T KNOW WHY, BUT I JUST DIDN'T LIKE THIS BOOK. THE PLOT WAS GOOD AND EVERYTHING, BUT I DON'T KNOW. I JUST COULD NOT GET INTO THIS BOOK FOR SOME REASON. THE ENDING WAS FUNNY THOUGH. I DIN'T LIKE CAMP OUT BUT IF YOU WANT TO READ IT, GO AHEAD!

This seamed to be one of the few Fear Streets books that had nothing to do with the supernatural; however, it was very good none the less. Three teenage girls go on a camp out. They meet some guys who seem very nice, and they camp out together. But then weird things start to happen. Are the guys murderers? Again, Stine manages a twist ending that is very ironic.

Camp Out was a book with many action. Even if the killers wer pretty obvious when one of their companions ends up dead, this book managed to keep me on the edge.

Three girls, who are best friends, are going camping. It is supposed to be an "all-girls camping trip" with no guys. But on the trip they meet guys who want to hang out with them; will they be able to turn them down?

On the camping trip, scary and dangerous things happen, but I will not tell you what happens so that I don't ruin the book for you. Will the girls pull through, or will they be victims?

There were too many boring "adventures" for me in this book. I don't care about rock climbing or white-water rafting. I didn't see a real deep plot, even taking into consideration that this is a teen book. I wouldn't have liked it any better if I had of read it as a teen, because I've never liked boring adventures.

My favorite R.L. Stine books are "Hit and Run", "The Rich Girl", and my very favorite, "The Babysitter" (I-IV).

The story is about 3 friends who go out camping, on their way they meet three guys and from that moment on, everything goes wrong. The story started out kinda good and I liked the'WIll' part but then it started to get real predictable and nothing really exiting happened. Stories like this have been written so many times and there are movies like it (like the river wild). So if you want something totally new, don't read this one. If you want an easy read, this one if for you.

This book is supposed to be a mysterious thriller. I didn't like this book because it said it was a thriller, but it wasn't. It is exciting because of the killing, but it was too far-fetched and it would never happen. The book seemed like it had no plot to it at all. I liked the language in this book, but the grammar in the dialogue was really bad. The characteers didn't fit in with the book. That is why I thought it was dumb.

R.L. Stine seems to be turning over a new leaf. He's writing some more intense books. I liked this, but it started off kind of bumpy. Like, every chapter ended with something shocking. Mr. Stine, don't worry. You're a good writer. Give it a little time. Though, this was a great book tough. P.S. Putting horror books in first person isn't a great idea. I am 13 and I write soon-to-be published YA horror. If a story is in first person, the chance that the main character could die is less possible unless they came back from the dead to tell their story. Great book, though!

This book revolves around three freinds who go for camping and are doubtful about if they are ever going to be able to return home. Thanks to the three guys they met on their way . the 'will' part was too short and the book would have been much better if it was just a little bit more romantic in the biggening.however the book does remind you about'the river wild'.i wonder if the movie was what had inspired r.l.stine to write the book. not exactly one of the top ten fear streets.

This was a very intense book. It makes you look at camping out in another way. In a way, it reminds me of The River Wild with Kevin Bacon. You find out important stuff in the middle and the rest of the book is in-your-face horror. I have to say, though, that it wasn't my absolute favorite. Even so, I enjoyed it very much.
