1.0 out of 5 stars The second worst book I've ever read., January 6, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Executioner (Flare original mystery) (Paperback)

After Ishmael, this book was the worst book I ever read. It's about a group of kids that smash into a tree while drunk. That part's fine. But the rest of the story, involving a murderer known as "The Executioner," is unbelievable. The characters do things that no one would do in real life. The main character Bruce, for example, gets a phone call. He immediately thinks it's a murderer. Not too realistic. And, the story is too predictable. I knew who the killer was before the second death. These reasons are why I hated this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book was better than "I know what you did last summer", December 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Executioner (Flare original mystery) (Paperback)

I felt this book was full of suspense. I liked it better than i know what you did last summer because the story was easier to understand. I would recommend this book to anybody. The only thing I was upset by this book was it was too short.

4.0 out of 5 stars READ IT!!!, January 19, 2005

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Executioner (Mass Market Paperback)

"The Executioner" is a great book; if you love mysteries you will love this book. You open the book and you start to read it soon you find yourself reading chapter after chapter. I had a hard time putting the book down. A boy named Bruce went out to a party with Raymond. The boys started to drink, but Bruce had a little more then Raymond had. On the way home Bruce went for Raymond's hat. When Bruce woke up he realized that his life was never going to be the same. Bruce knew that he was the cause of the accident but people had thought that it was Raymond who had been drinking too much. Was his life ever going to be the same? Would people find out the truth? Will he ever tell everyone the truth?
I loved this book and I think that you will too. This book is for mystery lovers, so if you love that type of read then you will like to read this book.
