5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best book!, January 18, 2000

Molly Lukasavich (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Someone at the Door: Someone at the Door (Paperback)

This is the best book I've ever read. I was guessing until the end "who done it". I had to do a report about my favorite book in my reading class and I choose this book. I loved the authors style. Kurt and the escaped killer was the perfect twist to the two strangers. I would recommend this book to everyone and anyone! Happy Reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Richie's "Scaredya!" trademark, July 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Someone at the Door: Someone at the Door (Paperback)

By now, if anyone's following my reviews and advice and actually reading the books I recommend, you'll know that Richie is an expert at making you not put down her book. Then she scares you half to death, and it's actually fun. Her trademark "God I'm so scared but I'll be brave and find the killer" heroine is here, and the mysterious cute guy (THE reason to read Richie's stuff, girls!), and the killer whom everyone thinks is the cute guy but is in actual fact...

4.0 out of 5 stars The ending is so surprising!, November 21, 2004

By 

Lyn (Virginia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Someone at the Door: Someone at the Door (Paperback)

This book is about Hannah and her younger sister Meg who is in ninth grade. They get stranded at home during a huge blizzard, and their parents are not home (I forget where they are), so it is just the two of them and their dog. To make matters worse, the two girls heard on the radio that there is a killer loose.

The first night of the blizzard, there is a knock on the door. Two young men, Lance and Jonathon, have been hurt and need a place to stay to wait out the blizzard. At first Hannah is wary about letting them in the house since they are strangers, but she lets them in anyways. During the next few days, strange things begin to happen that can't be explained. Hannah doesn't know who to suspect for these strange happenings, especially because she doesn't even know these two guys.

The ending of this book is very brilliant and unpredictable, simply because it does not end like usual scary stories. On the other hand, the ending was a bit disappointing to me because it wasn't as fun as I had hoped it to be. However, I am sure that this is because I have read too many generic horror stories. I really think that fans of Cusick's will enjoy it, but it was not my favorite book written by her.
