5.0 out of 5 stars Nothing But Revenge!, April 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Secret (Fear Street Saga Trilogy, No. 2) (Mass Market Paperback)

The Fear Street Saga: The Seceret was okay. I mean I like it was good to read. In this one all Ezra Fier is thinking is revenge. He hasn't thought about nothing else. This revenge dstroys his family and him in the process, too. He can't get nothing done day and night, but reminded how the Goodes turned on him, and he has it all wrong, too. Instead of bury something that could end at his request he wants to start all the hatred and horror again, and he really doesn't have nothing to avenge, but his son Jonathan learns a lesson though. He learns to bury the evilness because he has lost the one's he loves, and his father had lost his life because of a cause that was worhtless to his family, and to him, too if he realized it.

The best part I like is when Frank Goode tried to get his avengence. He was foolish, too, because all he wanted to do was killed the whole Fier family that he thought caused a plaque! Elizabeth and Kate were fools to fall in his trap like that. He played both sister at the same time. Simon was the hero as he rescused himself and his siter from crazy Frank. I deeply enjoyed some parts of the book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kristen's review, November 3, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Secret (Fear Street Saga Trilogy, No. 2) (Hardcover)

I liked this book a lot because it is about a family named the Fier who are under a curse. Everyone is dying one by one. They all die in a different way. At about one hundred years later, the curse comes back.
The story is about a family that was cursed by the Goode family. They were cursed because they the Fier family burned two of the Goode's. They burned them because the town thought they were witches. The Fier family was cursed forever until all the Goode's were dead. That is what the Fier family believes. Ezra Fier was looking for them for a long, long time. He died before he ever found them. After he died the curse was forgotten on purpose until about one hundred years later when a Goode was let into the home of five Fiers. Will they all live or will they all die?

The people who would like this book are the kind of people who like the following: a book that has mysteries, wanting to know what is going to happen next, and killing, also drama, some love and betrayal are in this book. There are some sad and gross parts in the story. If you are the kind of person who likes those things in a book, then you may want to read The Secret.
