Summary: "When she moved into Emily's room, the terror began...."
Review: "The Stepsister" was the first R. L. Stine book I ever read. Strangely, I never read any of his books when I was a kid. I suppose even then I couldn't tolerate them. They were too simplistic to the point of "dumbing down" the reader. But being the horror fan that I am, I decided to buy some of his books in bulk (all at clearance price, thank god) a year or so ago and began reading them.It only took me about a day to read "The Stepsister," which is the typical reading time of a Stine book. That's at least one nice thing about his books--they're quick. Unfortunately, they also read like they've been written in a day. There's very little detail, almost no character development, repetitive actions and story lines, etc. Because of this, I'm surprised his books are so popular. You would think most younger readers would tire of the same cookie-cutter stories. Granted, there are a couple books I like by Stine (namely The Fear Street Saga trilogy), but "The Stepsister" is not one of them. The book, in summary, is about 16-year-old Emily Casey who begins to have her doubts about her new stepsister's (Jessie Wallner) sanity when she finds out about her "serious emotional problems" via Emily's older sister, Nancy. Soon Jessie's annoying habit of "borrowing" Emily's clothes and deleting her social studies homework on the computer don't seem as important as having a psychotic killer in the house. Yet it's not until somebody puts peroxide in Emily's shampoo (wouldn't she have smelled the chemical beforehand?) and kills her dog that Emily begins to strongly suspicion Jessie. The final indication comes after Emily reads her stepsister's diary and discovers Jessie had been involved in a fatal accident. Did Jessie really kill her best friend? Or had it just been an accident? And would the same thing happen to Emily? To be fair, "The Stepsister" does have a somewhat surprising ending--that is, if you make assumptions about the characters based on the title alone. However, as I mentioned before, the book reads like a cutout of Stine's other Fear Street books, and, once again, the killer's motive is absolutely ludicrous. But for those who did enjoy this book, then you might like the sequel as well.

Summary: Is Jessie Guilty?
Review: Everything was great until Emily's stepsister, Jessie, and her dad moved into Emily's house. First, Jessie rips the head off Emily's teddy bear. Then she starts wearing her clothes without her permission. Then she erases Emily's computer homework. Emily knows it's her stepsister. But why does she keep saying she's innocent? No one believes Emily except her sister, Nancy. Nancy is such an innocent girl who's just trying to help her sister Emily.

Summary: An amazing book!
Review: Hi everyone. If you're looking for a very horrifying book, you've come to the right place. I've borrowed this book from a friend of mine and she said that this book is rather scary. After reading this story, I think what she said was right. So hurry and read this book. You will not be disappointed!

Summary: A boring book
Review: I didn't care for this book. To be honest I detested it. I liked the ending but not the rest of the book. I didn't think it was exciting. Oh, poor poor Emily gets her report erased by her evil stepsister! Oh I worked on it for days! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Oh help me, The mad eraser is still on the loose! Stop me before I erase again! Come on! That doesn't exactly strike terror in the hearts of children in inner city Detroit! I think Allison Muller's book, The Deserted hills is much better. She is a much better author!

Summary: THE STEPSISTER
Review: I loved this book, i would really recomend it. It is the person you least suspect...(hint. hint) When Emily thinks that JEssie is playing all these nasty tricks on her its really someone she trusts and always has...her own sister Nancy. Nancy wants to kill Emily, can Emily get away before the murder eally begins?

Summary: slayergirl2001
Review: I loved this book. The only fault I found was that they wanted you to suspect Jessie (and they did a good job at it) but we all know it's never the most likely suspect. But no one would've guessed who was actually behind it. All in all, The Stepsister is definentley worth looking into.
