Spine Tingling, June 14, 1999
By A Customer
The New Year's Party was a five-star,two thumbs up, all around awesome book. This book was really good and it had a shocker ending. I was horrified. The New Year's party is definitly for anyone who likes to be held in suspence. No one can ever guess the ending. I couldn't put the book down. It was a real pageturner. It is one of R.L. Stine's best Super Chiller books. It was great when,in 1965,two teenagers die,but they don't know it, and when they come back for revenge it leads to murder. You have to read the beginning thoroughly because when you reach the end of the book,the conclusion will make no sense at all, unless you understand the beginning. The New Year's Party was so scary,yet so fun to read. It was spine tingling. I recommend that you go out and buy the New Year's Party by:R.L. Stine.

The New Fear's Party..., August 12, 2001
This review is from: The New Year's Party (Fear Street Super Chillers, No. 9) (Mass Market Paperback)
One thing you should do before reading The New Year's Party: buy it. I highly recommend everyone buy this book before casting your eyes on the first page because as soon as you've finished reading it for the first time you'll want to read it again and again to go over the story once more and to just pick up on those things you sorta missed the first time. Okay, enough buying recommendations, what about the book? Well, I loved it. I thought it was extremely clever and really entertaining to read, and it stands as one of R.L. Stine's finest achievements to date. That man writes much better when he knows he's writing for teens and not children. At the start I didn't really care about the characters in The New Year's Party, but when the horror really starts to roll around, you start to wonder if this mysterious killer is going to get Reenie and her friends or not and you really start to care about them. The mystery is really, well, mysterious. I kind of guessed the plot twist before the end came but that wasn't a problem because I still enjoyed reading the final few chapters. The book really builds on its suspense and is a total page-turner. I read this book in two days. Maybe that's a record for me and how fast I read chapter books. This fabulous mystery will probably be the most enjoyed by young adults and teenagers, but I recommend everyone have a good, scary time reading it!

Ring in the new fear., April 22, 2004
This review is from: The New Year's Party (Fear Street Super Chillers, No. 9) (Mass Market Paperback)
Reenie and the kids at her Christmas party decided to play a prank on P.J., the new kid at school who never talks. But they're prank goes much farther than they planned--P.J. ends up dead. And when P.J.'s body disappeared, the terror got even bigger. Now, someone is taking P.J.'s revenge by killing Reenie's friends one by one. When midnight strikes, they'll all be dead. I really love Fear Street books, but this one has got to be one of the best of them all! It had horror, romance, mystery, and a little bit of historical fiction. I really liked how some parts of the book took place in 1965, and some parts now. The beginning was kind of boring, but then it started to get much better. And like most Fear Street books, the ending is a complete shock.
