It wouldn't be my favorite Fear Street book but it was interesting to finally see how the series began. I used to love the Fear Street books as a kid. It was the first big ass series I ever read. Sadly these books are not as engrossing for me as an adult as they were for me at 9 years old.
I have a couple more in the home library that I will give a go to and see if this was a one off. Oct 06, Cecilee rated it it was ok Shelves: ya-fic , horror-mystery. Your boy is dumb and thirsty.
Jan 02, Roxie Voorhees rated it really liked it. Picture it. Central California. Summer Me, sitting by the 8 ft. Full of suspense and teenage romance, I read every Fear Street book I could get my hand on for three years! Shout out to Tulare County Library I, like many pre-teens, was so ready to hurry and grow up. Little did we know how overrated adulting actually is. In this first installment of the Fear Street series, we are introduced to Cory, the star high school gymnast, and Anna, a Picture it.
In this first installment of the Fear Street series, we are introduced to Cory, the star high school gymnast, and Anna, a "dead" girl. Like the description says, she's beautiful and constantly disappearing. Cory uses to obtain her phone number and address. The things you could get away with in the 80s! Not at all being stalkerish, Cory drives over at 10 pm "still early" according to Cory and finds her crazy brother who says Anna is dead.
We are exposed to Stine's cliffhanger chapter ending expertise as this page turner unfolds. Anna and her crazy brother are not the only weird and unexplainable mysteries happening on Fear Street. One thing is clear, this is not the last strange thing to happen on Fear Street. Obviously, this series is meant for younger readers. The writing is solid even as its on the simple side.
The teenage romance is limited to kissing, which I prefer. I don't want to read about kids having sex ok Since it was written in , not one person carried a cell phone could have helped a lot!
And Cory actually uses a ditto machine. Like dye your hands purple, ditto machine! View all 4 comments. The New Girl was a pretty fun read, personally, but I do gotta agree with Lisa that Anna-obsessed Cory was annoying as heck. Apr 19, Annie rated it it was ok Shelves: junior-year This book was about a boy named Cory, who lives in Shadyside and goes to Shadyside High.
He sees a pretty girl, who's as pale as a ghost, named Anna. He is soon attracted to her and wants her. As soon as he meets her, Anna disappears. The only thing Cory knows about Anna is that she lives on Fear Street, a street that's spooky and a little haunted. After her disapperance, Cory channges because he could not stop thinking about her, losing a lot of sleep, and leaving his friends to look for her. He becomes determined to find her and find out what happened to her and her secret.
I thought that this book was overall good because it kept me wanting to find out what is happening to Anna. I enjoyed reading it and I think that these Fear Street books are interesting because they keep readers on the edge and I felt that it was one of those page-turners. I would recommend this book or series to anyone who likes R. Stine or likes to read mystery books. View 2 comments. A brand-new girl has arrived and Cory is totally head over heels when he sees her the first time. I had to read a book for a challenge on my group and after some digging through the pages of my partner I stumbled upon this book.
Plus, Fear Street! While it is a bit hit and miss at times I do love Shadyside and Fear Street. I know love makes blind and makes people do foolish things, but this was just beyond that. Cory makes mistakes, forgets about eating and how life works, ruins his gymnastics routines and his future because I am sure he wants to continue this into college and sorry bro but then you need to pick up the slack , and he just heads out in the dead of night to go to Fear Street.
Plus, he was a dick towards his friends. But it did get, just like that part above, just silly with how oblivious he was. I AM pretty oblivious at times in these things so I recognised it, but I confess, but if someone shows that much interest in me, I can tell you I would know. What I did like was how Stine wrote the mystery and what is up with Anna. I love it when a book can surprise me.
Sometimes books are predictable, sometimes you can easily find the whodunnit, but in this one? You kept guessing and each time you thought you knew what was going on Stine would throw something in the way to make you second guess everything.
She was an interesting character and had me curious as to what was going on with her. At times it looked like she had split personalities. She would act sweet and demure and the next she would be mean and hurtful.
It made her character much more interesting. Later on the story gets in even more tension as Lisa is receiving threats and things are going wrong. I was definitely on the edge of my chair at those moments. The ending was also pretty nicely done. It tied up everything nicely and it was very exciting and the last pages very sweet. All in all, I give it a 2. View all 12 comments. Oct 10, Vicki rated it liked it Shelves: horror , young-adult , pages. I have to be honest and say that IF I ever read any of R.
Stine books before, I don't remember them so I doubt I have. I needed a horror book and thought why not? The story is really cute, although not to "complicated" and intricately woven for adults. But it's a fun and quick read and I can see why young people love his books. In this story, Cory is a teenager who eyes Anna and she piques his immediate interest.
She's like an enigma to him. And there are reasons she is kind of a mystery to him I have to be honest and say that IF I ever read any of R. And there are reasons she is kind of a mystery to him because, of course, she has a secret.
He becomes obsessed with her from the get-go and he eventually calls her house only to find some rather disturbing and weird news about her. More mystery There's also Lisa who is actually a pretty good find, if Cory would only notice her and pay her attention. She'd definitely be easier to catch as a girlfriend than Anna. It's kind of a love triangle.
It's teenager-ish! Overall the story was really cute, a bit predictable but I'm not so sure it would be for its intended audience. The cheerleading squad at Shadyside has always been strong, but now there are rumors that lack of funds may mean the end of cheerleading at Shadyside.
That would be a shame for Heather Wyatt, who has just transferred from her old school, where she was a star, and is eager to join the squad. Stine's Fear Street series is back, and in The Dead Boyfriend, he tells the frightening tale of teenage love - and how it can go terribly, murderously wrong.
