Duffy is not the only one who is going to get the thrill of her life! Contracting a fever under somewhat mysterious circumstances, one wonders if life will ever be the same. At least that's how one feels amidst the emotional and psychological torment that is "The Fever". Duffy must fight to survive and you the reader must fight (the fear) and turn the next page. Can Duffy do it? Moreover, can you? A must for the young at heart die-hard thriller fan...Don't forget now, Lock the door and bolt the windows...more importantly, turn all the lights on!!!

I think this is one of Diane Hoh's better books (so far). I was really interested in the characters, and Duffy has spunk :). I'm still a little confused by the ending, though. The parts I did like were when Duffy was attacked in the shower, and when the brake on her wheel chair gave out and sent her flying down the hill...a book worth reading!

This wasn't a bad book. It had suspense, intigue, and mystery.However, the writing could use a little work. In some places it kindof fell apart. But still, great plot, Duffy is a cool charactar, and I think you'll enjoy it. Happy Reading!

The suspense, creativity, and irony of the novel The Fever, by Diane Hoh, will make any reader anxious to continue reading. Duffy Quin is a faultless teenager. She succeeds in school, she has high self-esteem, and she doesn't have any problem making friends. Who would have thought that she would get an illness that turns her into a lunatic?
Duffy is robbed of her strength and is left helpless in her hospital bed. A fever rages through her body when she realizes something wrong. "What am I doing? Everyone is right about me." She thought in disgust. "I am losing it." (141).
Between the drama of her friends, the fear that someone is about to murder her, and the fact that she can't get out of her hospital bed even to take a shower, Duffy Quin has enough to worry about. Is someone really out to get her, or is her outrageous fever just getting the best of her?

Hello Reader,
This review is about the book "Fever". It is written by Diane Hoh. The book Fever is a very exciting book full of mysterious people and suspenseful action. The book "Fever" focuses on a single girl named Duffy and the strange fever that seems to overwhelm her whole body. Things only get worse when she hears noises down the hall, and let me tell you they are not happy ones. But hey, she has a high fever it might all be some strange hallucination right? Well if waking up from a "dream" includes bruises and a fear of staying alone at night the yes. I think this book is very interesting because it gives you little facts and completely changes the subject leaving you wanting more.

I think that it is a great book because it surprises you and it never gives away anything. I was really glad that there was an interesting book like this. I recommend this book to all the people who wish to read something fascinating. I also recommend this book to everyone who likes mystery and who likes to figure out strange events or people. I really liked this book and I am sure you will too!

I took away 1 star because the story is set in a hospital, and hospitals are so boring.OK.
Other than that, The Fever is an exciting mystery / suspense.
Duffy is in hospital to recover from her deathly fever but instead someone is trying to kill her!!!!And it's pretty hard for her to convince people that there is a psychopath after her when everyone believes she is simply delusional from her sickness.

It was an OK mystery book and the reader doesn;t know who the killer is until the end. Yuo should read it if you like books that have murders.

Duffy has a fever and is in hospital but someone wants her dead..... She hears clanking noises in her room one night, what are they? Duffy tries to escape from hospital one night, but someone puts the sign on the broken elavator on the one which is alright. Duffy almost falls into nothingness... In the shower she is almost killed but by who? Things are happening fast, how can Duffy survive until she get's rid of her fever....

This book has an excellent setting in a really eirry hospital, but it lacks mystry. Nothing makes you want to turn the page as you just feel like you don't really care who's out to get Duffy.

overall it's confident to say it's a good book to read. the author images the darkest shadow of hospital and she let the readers wonder if they'll be the next victim while they're sleeping. horror in the night and if you think the day'll be better - not at all - the nightmare continues...
