This review is from: Fear Games (Nightmare Room Thrillogy, 1) (Paperback)

This is the best book I ever read. I entered acontest and I won this free book. I read it two times already. But this story continues on with two more books. The second is already out in stores called What scares you the most? Well, this book is about a girl name April Powers that has been chosen to be in an island with eleven other honor students for a competition called the Life Games. When she was put on a team weird things started to happen. everyone thinks April has magical powers. But she doesn't have magical powers some evil spirit is making her have magical powers. One day, after they won the third competition they were stranded on an island. So that where the second book comes in. If you want to read this book, I totally recommened this book. I think R.L. Stine is the best author for horror and mystery books. Trust me I read almost all his book. Hi R.L. Stine if your reading this!

5.0 out of 5 stars It doesn't have to be scary . . ., June 17, 2003

This review is from: Fear Games (Nightmare Room Thrillogy, 1) (Paperback)

Well, I've learned from the first time I read an R. L. Stine book that I wouldn't be scared by this "teen-horror" author. But, just because it doesn't scare the heck outta us doesn't mean its not a good book. Even horror-master Dean Koontz will often throw out a book just as scary as Stine's... but anyway.

This book . . . is just about like all of Stine's books... only with a hint of Survivor in it. But its far more than meats the eye. When i first got it i was soo thinking a copy-cat story line going with the Survivor TV Show (and im sure thats where Stine got the idea for this book) but it turns out to have a twist-a-plot that is rather entertaining. I suggest buying this book, but remember, its TO BE CONTINUED, so buy the whole 3some at one time.
