Summary: Just a pre-teen book with some sex scenes thrown in
Review: This is a horror story with a lot of gore and some supernatural content. The campus murders were gory enough to sicken the reader (a good thing), but the supernatural parts were less imaginitive than I'd like. Good horror fiction has realistic characters, such that the reader can accept the unrealistic events as being possible. This book does not have realistic characters. For example, Sara, the main character, doesn't blink an eye when the family cat is decapitated the same night her boyfriend stays over. A real person would be somewhat upset over the death of a pet. The scene is thrown in for no apparent purpose, since the author never refers to it again.This book could have been very good if the characters and supernatural elements were better developed. As it is, it reads like a comic book.

Summary: Superstitious is super boring!
Review: Stine really needs to put some excitement in his booka, because he's really boring! I gave it three stars because of all the description, but other than that it's really boring!

Summary: THE SWEET SUPERSTITIOUS REVIEW
Review: I was very reluctant when I saw R.L.Stine was the author of "SUPERSTITIOUS" because he was reknowned as a mainly children's book writer. When I first read the book and got past the first chapter I was immediately captivated and couldn't put it down. I would rush home form school just to read it and it put me in some kind-of trance which I was in a alternate world and was living Sara's life. It sent chills down my spine and made me re-examine my life to the superstition rules... I really liked the book and reccommend it to all.

Summary: Detail like no other!
Review: I grew up reading fear street books, and no one quite catches horror like Stine. Finally, when Fear street is no longer enough, and I yearn for an adult novel with the same grasp and detail, he writes an adult book! I wish he would write ten more!

Summary: Not horror ... just horrible!
Review: Superstitious was billed as R.L. Stine's triumphant leap from his teenage "Goosebumps" series into intense adult horror fiction. Far from being terrified by this book, I found myself laughing at the ridiculous actions and insipid dialogue of Mr. Stine's stereotypical cast of characters. The author's lack of research concerning real police procedures is also quite evident. The only true horror I experienced was that such poor quality writing was ever published in the first place.

Summary: Can Superstitions lead to harmful outbursts?
Review: This book is about a small Pennsylvania college where love is developed. Liam O'Connor is an Irish-born professor who has good looks, a sweet charm and believes in Old World superstitions. Sara Morgan who is a young, beautiful graduate student is dazzled by his old superstitions and his charm. As they begin an intimate relationship, Sara doesn't notice all the drama going on around the campus. There have been four murders committed and each are more horrifying than the one before. The murders are being committed by someone or something with a lot of fur and strength. Suddenly Sara is receiving prank calls warning her to stay away from Liam. She is bothered by so many things, that when Liam purposes to her, she accepts. Making love by the light of sixteen candles, was one of Liam's old superstitions. As the days go by Sara begins to see more of Liam's superstitons, and is somewhat beginning to be bothered by them. Especially on their wedding day, Sara recalls as they walked out one of the side doors, Liam started freaking out and saying, "The door. We went out the side door. Don't you understand? You have to leave by the same door you came in. You can't leave by a different door. We came in through the front door!" Before their marriage, Sara adored his silly superstitions, but he began to scare her with them. After they are married, the drama begins to unfold and make sense, and the police begin to close in on a killer. Sara is caught right in the middle of everything. At the center, behind all the silly superstitions, waits the most terrifying secret of all..... read the book to find out what happens. This book kept me on the edge till the end, and the outcomes always suprised me. I believe, "Superstitious" by R.L. Stine is basically marketed to teens and women. I hope everyone enjoys the book as much as i did!

Summary: A great novel by Stine
Review: R.L. Stine keeps you in awe as you try to figure out a series of murders and whos commiting them. Is Liam some sort of monster? Weird eyes, two tongues? Sara should stay away. She's gotten warnings, but won't listen. Is she the next one on the list?
Rating:
Summary: A tremendous thriller
Review: All of Stine's other books are left behind after reading Superstitious. It holds your attention and awes you. A story about a girl escaping her ex, and finding the right one. A mix of romance and of horror. You won't want to put down the book! Read the book.
Rating:
Summary: a major disappointment
Review: Not having read Stine's teen books, I was looking forward to this book as a good read for Halloween. It wasn't. The plotting and writing were like a first draft. A lot of it didn't make sense. I gave it one star only because the sex scenes were (unintentionally) very funny.
