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!

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.

The book Curtains by R.L. Stine is a wonderful book. It was interesting and very simple, yet moving. When I started reading the book, surprisingly, it pulled me into its world of mystery and horror. I felt as though I was the main character in the story. The way the author used descriptive language really made me visualize what actually happen in the story. I liked the characters in the story. My favorite character was Rena. I felt the same pain she felt in the story. In Curtains Rena hid a dark secret she developed three years ago. She thought it would be hidden for good, but when Rena came to a summer theater camp, she was given the star role of the play, Curtains. During an onstage performance, a Broadway director drives Rena's secret out of her. Because of her star role, she is the envy of the evil and malevolent Hedy, who promised her she would never play the star role. After the performance scary things start happening to Rena. If you want to find out more, read the story. I recommend this book to young adults who like horror, drama and suspense. Like R.L. Stine's book The Confession, Curtains is a book that pulls you into its own world. I think R.L. Stine is a great author, and I hope he writes more books for kids to read.

I like this book because it keep you on your toes it always surprised you and you never know what's going to happen next. This book is an challenging to read but that's what made it so good!

If you like mysteries, you'll like this one. I read it and was grossed out in some parts. Other than those parts, it was fine. I have read over 20 of R.L. Stine's thrillers and I would rate this one of his best. By the way, don't eat before 1 part. It's kinda strange.Good thing it's all acting!! If you remember that, I bet you will enjoy this book.

As with all R.L. Stine novels, I loved this book. It's an eerie thriller written for teens and young adults.

This book was pretty violent. Everything from animal slaughter, suicides, stabbings, attempted drowning, gunshots, and even slashing of Rena's clothing. Swan lovers beware.

This book kept you guessing for quite a while. It was hard to figure out the killer's identity and motive and it had that classic Stine twist of an ending.

I enjoyed the characters and the setting of Curtains. Since it is set at an acting camp, it's hard for Rena and the reader to tell when characters were acting and when their actions, thoughts, and words were genuine.

Must read for any R.L. Stine fan.

its a story about a girl named reena. i loved it because it have a lot of suspense in it. if you want a thirlling novel you cannot stop ,get this novel.

Out of all the books I read by R.L. Stine, this is one the best ever. If you like hair raising, stomach churning action, you'll love this book! I would recomend it to anyone.
