Recensioner

Not the worst I’ve read, but certainly not the best either. It reminded me of the Fear Street books by RL Stine. The characters were one dimensional and had no personality so it was difficult to tell them apart. The “killer’s” reason for doing what they were doing was dumb. And no one actually dies? There’s also a forced outing of a gay character that felt gross. Would not recommend.

Friends Dylan, Quin, and Sofia all decide to partake in Fright Night over their summer break, a night that promises to make you face your greatest fears. However, dark secrets from the past threaten to become unearthed as this night of scary fun takes a much more sinister turn.

As far as suspenseful, YA thrillers go, Fright Night had the page-turner effect nailed down pretty well, and with a shorter, sub-200 page count, it thrusts you into the action in almost no time. The characters are, also, pretty likeable for the most part, which is a good thing considering some books in this genre tend to just throw a bunch of snooty, unlikeable characters at you and you really could care less if they bite it in the end. Despite its page-turning effect, though, the book's plot does seem a bit jumbled and "coincidental" -- as in a lot of the events that happen seem to be a bit contrived. This isn't necessarily a bad thing -- it's an effective part of lots of storytelling, of course -- but it didn't always land 100% of the time here. Also, the prospect of the Fright Night event itself seems almost like a backdrop for scary things to happen and nothing more. It's not fully explored, and as such the title and description might cause you think the story is a bit different than you expect. The biggest thing that causes me to feel mixed, though, is the use of subversion, but I feel like the author pulled it off well enough where it is believable, if a little contrived. In all, this is a fun suspenseful YA book that makes for a quick read, and has some good characters -- but doesn't quite hit the mark in it's storytelling. Props to the author for using it as a method of providing insight and understanding into mental health and abuse, though; that is always good to see when an author ties their story into a greater meaning.

Content Concerns: Mentions of abuse and violence, and we see a few scenes where some blood is shed. There are also 7 uses of vulgarity: 3 "b-tch," 2 "h-ll," 1 "sh-t," and 1 "-ss."

Well that was a short and predictable story with not enough chills for me. That being said, I think I would be petrified if I was actually in the woods at night when I knew people were waiting to scare me. I remember playing ghost in the graveyard as a kid with my siblings and screaming in terror when I was the searcher, and that was around my own house!

Apparently the author did some research on the illness described in this book so I would assume it is a fairly authentic representation. I actually think this might be popular in a high school library so I'm glad I read it.… (mer)
