In the book Party Summer R. L. Stine starts the book out as an exciting vacation and a job at an old inn for a couple of teenagers looking to get away from home for the summer, but things turn out the worst. In the book there are four teenager characters that have disagreements and one of the teenagers is studying witchcraft. They go to the inn and find out that the inn has been closed for remodelling. Then people start disappearing and people start being chased, in the end it's a matter of life or death, will they come out alive? I recommend this book to younger kids into the horror things. I liked it but it wasn't that scary. I like scary books like Stephen Kings Pet Cemetery; though this was a good book.

Despite what others said about this book, i think it was very good. The reason i think everyone didn't like it was because it wasn't that scary! I mean, it was good but it was more adventerous and thrilling, than scary and chilling! It was pretty good! Not the best Fear Street book ever, but it was definitley good! I recommend this book if you are looking for a good Fear Street book!

If you haven't read this book....please do! You will not be dissapointed at all! Sure some parts were unlikely....but, come on, thats what made the book so good. If you are planning to read this for the first time: don't trust anyone because you never know what might happen.

'Party summer' is a thriller that I can assure you would love. Maybe you find it confusing, but later on you will understand everything perfectly, so I don't recommend you to star reading the book but then you must finish it 'cause you won't get it.
When I started reading this book, by the way amazing, I fin it a little bit boring... But in the middle.... Oh, my God! It was really suspenseful and I just couldn't stop! I totally advice you reading it, you will extremely enjoy it! It is for all ages, but specially for teens!
I hope it helped you.

four teenagers trapped in a summer resort island with Simon Fear The Third....TOTALLY COOL! it was suspenseful. i really liked it. It was one of RL. Stine's best Fear Street book....if you haven't read it, RRREEAADDDD ITTTTT NOOWWWW!!!!!

I do not really remember what the story was about except some parts. I am in the 8th grade and had last read the book in the 5th grade when the other day I started thinking of the book and how good it was. I couldnt remember the title and I have spent hours trying to find this book on the internet. After I looked at some titles that looked familiar I found Party Summer, and knew that was the book. I looked at some of the reviews, and sure enough it was! I was sooo happy and after I am finished writing this review I am going to buy this book! Please read, because after about 4 years I remembered how good the book was, and I know that you will love it too. Dont listen to the bad reviews because if you do, you dont know what youre missing! Read!Read!Read!

Four teens trek up to a supposedly hauntel hotel to fix it up, find a cave inside it, and are hunted down by a psychotic butler with multiple personalities and a big gun. The first in the SUPER CHILLER division of FEAR STREET is boring to no explaination point, the suspense is all padded and muffled, and the ending is stupid. And to top all of this, it's extremely long.

Why would something be put in the back blurb when it wasn't in the book at all? There's an element in the blurb above that just doesn't exist in the story. That's like the non-sequential events on the back of Christopher Pike's Immortal. Very weird. And talk about misleading. It didn't detract from the story any but I can't help but wonder why.

Pike and Stine have very similar writing styles although I think Stine is a little more kiddish, even in his YA books. It doesn't hurt the story but I think it hinders the storytelling just a little bit. So much more could be put into it if the aim was a little higher.

But it was creepy enough. It had me on the edge of my seat at the end of a lot of the chapters. I didn't want to stop reading when something crazy was about to happen! Damn hour lunches! And it was creepy. It carried that sense of foreboding with it, that anything could happen to anyone. No one was safe.

When people start disappearing and strange events started happening, your comfort zone gets destroyed and the more the story gets into it, the more unsure you get of the characters' survival. Will they make it?

The supernatural elements are kept to a barely there minimum; yet even more proof that you don't need insanely spooky stuff to be not of this world. Sometimes other humans are all that you need to be totally creeped out.

Whether its the short, almost choppy sentences or the fact that nearly every chapter ends on a cliffhanger, Stine's writing is compelling. You'll want to figure out what's going on, and fast. The events are as grounded in reality as a cheesy teen horror book can be grounded in reality and I think that makes it all the more frightening. Who wouldn't want to go fart around a private island in a swanky hotel? The very premise is the start of how many good horror stories? But it's what's done with it that makes it truly horrifying and Stine does an awesome job. The horror is in the helplessness and it'll have you clawing at the pages until you know just how it all ends.

This was one of my favs when I was a kid!As an adult I was excited to see it was on Kindle. I ordered it and read it again,and it was still just as good!!

This book was okay, but, if you have ever seen the Fear Family Tree, you would notice that Simon Fear The First does not have any brothers and both sisters died early, there's no way Simon 3 would have been able to be his great nephew. They should have just said he was one of his great grandchildren. It may not seem like a very important detail, but it really bothered me the whole time reading it!!
