Customer Reviews

Not the book I ordered

I clicked on I saw you that night by R. L STINE. Instead I get sent a children's book about 5 little monkeys. Not what I ordered

I saw you that night....And I know what you did.

Being an avid reader of R.L. Stine's young adult novels, I can safely say that I Saw You That Night! is my absolute favorite. Lee is the new guy in Roxie's beachtown, fitting all the connotations: tall, dark, handsome, and with a mysterious past. Roxie and her friend Ursula instantly fall for him. Ursula, being blonde and ultra-competitive, makes a bet with Roxie: whoever dates Lee and gets ahold of his Sharks baseball cap first will win fifty bucks. Roxie is desperate to finally win a bet against her friend; she sneaks into Lee's house at night and attempts to steal his baseball cap. Not only does Roxie fail to find the cap, but she also hears a girl and a boy fighting (both verbally and physically) in the house. A few days later, a girl is found dead in a plastic trash bag near the beach. Roxie knows she was the girl at Lee's house, and Lee is the killer... Meanwhile, Lee successfully befriends Roxie, and Roxie feels herself succumbing to his charms... and his innocence...? Or is he the guilty murderer? Complications ensue. (Don't they always?) :) I love how R.L. Stine often sets his stories at the beach. It's always fun in the sun when it comes to the beach, right? What could possibly go wrong among the suntan, sunglasses, flattering bathing suit, and a cute lifeguard/surfer dude? But in these cases, R.L. Stine manages to mastermind horrors in the most unsuspecting locations.

The review

Man! that was a good book! I Saw You that Nigh: what a great title! The Author of the book is R.L. Stine and he know, how to write great suspense. He keeps you waiting and waiting to find out what happened, but you never know what he is talking about because he know how to write suspense. One of the beliefs that I had is that the girl`s boyfriend was the killer. The reason for that was because another boy she liked told her that her boyfriend was the killer and I believed it as well. The second belief I had was that she might of died because the guy on the boat kept backing into her with the boat until he could not see her head above the water. A third belief of mine was that her boyfriend was dead because the boy on the boat stabbed him in the throat because he was trying to help his girlfriend out. I think that it was a good part of the book, also. My final belief was that the book was over because the girl had said looks like I won, Then as I read, the girl had got a phone call and it said I saw you that night. Some of the things that surprised me in this book is that the innocent one is always the one that is the killer. The guy in the story is always popping up everywhere. No one even knew it was him. I was thinking it, but I could not really find out until I knew all the facts about the person and where he came from. R.L Stine seems to be the only book I read now-a- days. That`s actually amazing! I spend all my extra time reading and being myself. R.L. Stine made me realize that reading is fun and it teaches you things as you go. Another thing that was unbelievable is the way he sets he stories up. He goes past present then back to past. It`s like having day dreams. He made sure no one knew what he was talking about until the very end and that`s what all writers should do, but they don?t always do that. One thing that surprised me was the way his descriptive words were used in this book. He described each scene. I could imagine myself there. He is a very good writer and I wish I was as good as he is. ... My true opinion is that this is a good piece because the author is a good suspense writer. He keeps you guessing on what is going to happen until you believe that you are right and until you are down with story. If he had a choice I bet he would keep you going until he wanted to end the story. I think everyone should read at least one of his books. Either thought they might not like these kind of books, I think they are great, and I hope the author keeps writing stories like this one. I am a person that loves to read. I have read almost all of his books. I hope to be able to get some of his books to. Everyone thinks I am crazy about those books but if you really like to read them what is the harm of reading them. Well I hope you all will read this book it really is a good book. I also hope all of you read other stories of R.L. Stine but if you don?t you are missing out on great books!

A real killer, and amazing.

For all you scare lovers you have to read this book. It's a real thriller. Lee is always poping up all over the place and Roxie is getting a little scared, and that night she will never forget what she herd.

WOW!!!!!!!!

WOW! This book is very cool. Just when you think you know who is doing the crimes, a crucial piece of evidence could be found and your thought is completly different. The way R.L. Sine writes his books is superb. If you are interested in reading this book, take it from me, READ IT!!!!! If you enjoy this book, read Hit and Run also.

R.L. STINE IS THE BEST

THIS IS MY FAVORITE R.L. STINE BOOK YET. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OF HIS BOOKS AND I THINK HE IS AN EXCELLENT WRIER. THIS BOOK IS KEEPS YOU HOOKEED AND JUST WHEN YOU THINK IT IS OVER AND IT WILL END GOOD SOMETHING ELSE REALLY TERRRIBLE HAPPENS. THIS IS A SPINE-CHILING MYSTERY OF A GIRL WHO IS SO DESPERATE FOR A BOYFREIND THAT SHE WILL GO TO ANY EXTREMES
