Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Rena, a Michelle Pfeiffer look-alike, is attending a theatrical summer camp with a friend, boy-crazy Julie. When Rena effortlessly wins the leading role in the play Curtains , she also provokes the wrath of Hedy, the camp diva, who was sure she had the part sewn up. Julie openly resents Rena's easy popularity with male campers Chris and George. When a series of cruel and bizarre pranks is directed against Rena--a slashed swan in her bed, her wardrobe destroyed--the finger of guilt seems to point at either Julie or Heda. Leading the unsuspecting reader along various paths, Stine handily arranges an abrupt turn that leads to an unforeseeable ending. The story has a strong yet vulnerable heroine in Rena, and contains just enough gore to sate horror fans. Although Curtains will never be mistaken for serious literature, it is sure to engross Stine's considerable following. Ages 13-up.

Worth a try,
This review is from: Curtains (Mass Market Paperback)
If you are looking for a slasher horror type of book this is a pretty good choice. I like the fact that Stine always has you thinking the killer is someone and then it turns into someone completely different, usually its almost impossible to guess who it is. I read almost all of his Fear Street books when i was younger and i decided to get this from the library eariler this summer for a second read. I also like the fact that the emotions of the people in the acting camp are pretty real. Jealousy, competition, nerves and pressure - and thats without someone whose out to kill you!

Who Will Die Next?,
By Rudy (Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Curtains (Mass Market Paperback)
This book starts out very weird, but then you know what's going on. I think it was pretty good, except there are too many surprises. You think someone dies when he or she doesn't. Or you think the main character will die in the next chapter, but I think it was not bad at all.
