4.0 out of 5 stars dont forget how to swim, never know whats lurking behind you
I enjoyed reading the dead lifeguard. This is a very captivating book. It's alot like the normal horrors that you would see on television but it has a twist to it. I would recommed this book to people who like a good story of suspense and horror.
The Dead Lifeguard is about a group of strangers who spend the summer together lifeguarding at shady acres...

1.0 out of 5 stars I have read better
I did not like this book since the book kept on changing point of views. I found it hard to catch up with the story and with the characters as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Fear Street Novels, June 13, 2002
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Dead Lifeguard (Fear Street Super Chillers, No. 6) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book drags you into it starting with the first chapter. You can't put it down. This novel by R.L. Stine is one of my favorite from the Fear Street novels. When your about halfway through the book, you think that there is no way that this book could possibly get any more frighting or better. But, it does. Stine brings out his brillance in this book. I would certainly recommend this one.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Dead Lifeguard (Fear Street Super Chillers, No. 6) (Mass Market Paperback)
Wow! This is my favourite Fear Street book. I loved the element of secrecy and the lifeguards gory deaths. The ending was so unexpected I had to read it three times to make sure I read it right! A fantastic book with many twists. Everyone must read this!

5.0 out of 5 stars Suspenseful and exciting to read!, December 27, 2009
This review is from: The Dead Lifeguard (Fear Street Super Chillers, No. 6) (Mass Market Paperback)
Synopsis: There is a deranged person with an alias called "Mouse" who is joining the North Beach Country Club as a lifeguard, so that they can kill off the other lifeguards. This person called "Mouse" thinks they can communicate with their deceased best friend Terry through the static telephone line and wants to kill the lifeguards because the lifeguards are the reason why Terry died.

Enter Lindsay Beck. Having been a Lifeguard at the North Beach Country Club for the last two years, she re-enters the place to resume her position. However, as soon as she reaches the gate of the Club, she sees a dead woman floating face down on the swimming pool. As if things are not bad enough, she realizes her ID card is over two years ago and her name is not on the lifeguard list. Things go from bad to worse, when she realizes that she doesn't remember being interviewed by Pete Harris, the athletic director for the job and doesn't remember anything about her life in the last few months. However, another new lifeguard member named Spencer Brown enters the club and Lindsay recognizes him (and he recognizes her as well), even though she doesn't remember anything about him. Lindsay gets the lifeguard position because Spencer vouches for her identity and also because one of the other girls who had the job cancels in the last minute.

Lindsay's life becomes a nightmare when the other lifeguards start getting murdered and Lindsay finds herself being the first one in the scene of the crime. Lindsay soon realizes that some of the other lifeguards are strange and any one of them could be the killer. Lindsay tries contacting her parents but she is not able to reach them. Her roommate, May-Ann Delacroix sneaks out every night without notifying her, has a collection of mouse figurines in her drawer, and believes that the ghosts of the people who died in the club the previous years are still wandering around. There's also puny lifeguard named Arnie Wilts who cracks bad jokes and comes on a little too strong to Lindsay, and keeps talking to a mystery person on the phone. Can Lindsay find out who the real killer is, and also find out why she is not able to get in touch with her family or friends?

Review: I loved reading this book. Some of the reasons why I enjoyed it so much was because of:-

- The way it was written. I liked reading each chapter from the perspective of a different person, as it really made me understand their character and what they were thinking.

- The story itself. It was different from the other Fear Street books, but still maintained the style of the series. The book contains two parallel storylines revolving around the same character in the same time period, which I thought was different for a Fear Street book. One on hand, Lindsay is trying to figure out her past, and on the other hand she is trying to solve the mystery to the murders.

- The red herrings thrown in the book. The climax to both the storylines was such a shock that it made me go over all the incidents, and I realized that the ending fit really well to the story.

This is definitely one of the best Fear Street books that I read, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes reading the series.
