Rating: Summary: Chilling....and also sad! Review: I feel so bad for April after reading the whole story! By the time the story ends, the perfectly beautiful life she had not more than a year ago is just history! She's left with no choice but to continue being happy after sacrificing the boy she loves, a possibly bright and prosperous future in tennis, all her friends, and her beloved house. Lois Duncan expresses her feelings wonderfully well throughout the book. I felt as though if I were in April's place I'd feel just the way I was while reading about her feelings. That is why the whole experience of reading this book was so sad to me.
Besides being naturally sad the story got extremely chilling in some parts. It got so scary that once or twice I had to stop reading and calm myself down before continuing again! Scary but an amazing feeling!! I simply love these sort of thrilling novels, and Lois Duncan is an expert in writing them.
If you're a Duncan fan....then you'll surely like Don't Look Behind You.
Rating: Summary: Awesome book Review: The book Killing Mr. Griffith was a good book. It entertained me most of the time, and I am a very hard person to keep entertained. I read this book about seven or eight months ago. The highschool I went to had a program that was called AR Testing. This program required very kid in the school to read atleast two book severy nine weeks and then take test on them. You have to pass your test with atleast an eithy percent to earn credit for a portion of your English class that you are taking. So with all this time I had to read, I kept myself interested by reading alot of Luis Duncan books, and Don't look behind you was one of them. Dont look behind you was like another version of The movie and the book, I know what you did last summer. Some kids go take a vacation and They just blew the incident off and went on acting like nothing had happened. They had no idea what they had gotten themseleves into. Little did they know, what they had hit would come back to get revenge. I recommend this book because it's interesting.
