4.0 out of 5 stars Not much goin' on but still a good read, August 18, 2000

I always find fear street books the best to read, they are always exciting and never boring and so easy to read. This one was kinda dissapointing if you look at the story itself. Nothing really creepy happened (I look at it that way) but the end makes up for all of it. I did kinda expect who was sending the notes and while reading more of the story I kinda figured out why. SO the ending was not a complete shocker but the little part after that was. also I would like to comment on that person below who says hugging people can't kill them. SOrry but 'he' was strangling 'her', that is how she 'died'. If you want an easy read with a good ending, go for this one!

Night Games never reached any great heights and I don't think many readers will be satisfied with the weak ending of what was a very predictable novel and not at all the high quality of the majority of Stine's work.

In Night Games a gang of kids run into a former friend they haven't seen for a year. He invites them to accompany him on his night games of vandalism and terrifying locals. Being losers these kids readily agree. They all hate their math teacher Mr Crowell so target him for frequent night games, justifying it as vengeance for the way he treats them. Diane the main narrator of the story starts to question if Cromwell deserves the increasing severity of their tormenting until too late she realises just how deadly serious some of the gang want vengeance.

Read one of Stine's other books instead.

2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible characters..., December 2, 2003

This review is from: Night Games (Fear Street Series #40) (Paperback)

The characters are so dull and come off as unsympathetic. The plot of the book is fine. However, it's not one of R.L. Stine's best. I liked "Silent Night 3" or "The Runaway" best.
