3.0 out of 5 stars Not Exactly Thrilling!....., March 15, 2003

This review is from: The Waitress (Point) (Paperback)

Paula has a new job at a restaurant called "Trixie's Dog House." Right from the start, she has an uneasy feeling when the owner-- Trixie -- locks her in the freezer, as a "joke." Paula also has an enemy, Coralynn, who hates Paula for "stealing her boyfriend." Soon, things happen to Paula, deadly things, that are passed off as accidents. Still, who is the "prankster?" Why, one-by-one, do the pranks get more dangerous?

"The Waitress" was a nice story. However, it seemed as though I could've written a better storyline! It bounces from place to place, not having any real purpose. Sure, Paula gets embarrassed a little, by the pranks, but terrorized? Hardly. Each chapter is only about three pages; the book, only 130 pages long! The vocabulary is at a third grade level, and there's no thrill or suspense. While it's not the best story, it might be worth your time if you want to read any thriller you can get your hands on, like me!

Read my other reveiws of the following recommended thrillers:

a.) "The Train" by Diane Hoh
b.) "The Invitation" by Diane Hoh
c.) "Secret Santa" by D. E. Athkins
d.) "Someone at the Door" by Richie Tankersley Cusick
e.) "Vampire" by Richie Tankersley Cusick
f.) "Slay Bells" by Jo Gibson
g.) "My Bloody Valentine" by Jo Gibson
h.) "Homecoming Queen" by John Hall
i.) All R. L. Stine young adult thrillers
j.) All books by Joan Lowery Nixon

1.0 out of 5 stars Wait until you read any other book in the bookstore first, August 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Waitress (Point) (Paperback)

The waitress is a bumb story about an inexperianced waitress who finds "scary" things happening around her. Well, first of all it is anything but scary. In fact, I would of been just as pleased it Paula got killed, but sadly she didn't. There was no suspence to this book either. So, I would give it about three out of ten : one out of 5ive
