Summary: THIS BOOK WAS HORRIBLE !!!
Review: I wish you could give these books no stars because thats exactly what "The Stranger" deserves.I usually only get R.L.Stine books,but I decided to get something different,and that was the worst choice I could have made.I mean I have never read a book that was,so boring that I could barely finish it.Everything about this book was just horrible,and it was a waste of my money.I don't see how Caroline Cooney was able to get through writing a book,so boring.Take it from me everyone just because a book might look interesting,and it has a good title does not mean its going to be good,and I think I am a good example.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Bad ending
Review: It was a good book, but it could have been better. It was very romantic until the end. He could have done something else than blow the cave enterance up.It deserves two stars, but I'll cut the author some slack.(LOL)

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Beauty and the Beast
Review: Most writers would not have the courage to believe a monster-in-a-cave story would be OK to write, after you are 8 years old!!
But Cooney did it.As usual, she is unique and strange and imaginative.
Perhaps a spin on Beauty and the Beast, a beautiful young girl falls in love with a...well, a monster in a cave!!
Oddly readable!!

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: I think it is a good book
Review: The book The Stranger by Caroline B. Cooney in my opinion was an alright book. It cought my attention and was easy to read. It talked about how a girl named Nicoletta ahd to deal with not being in the spot light anymore. She was a singer in the choir the Madrigals section , but since a new girl came into the picture Anne Louise Nicolella's life fell apart. Nicoletta lost a special thing , but she found a boy to help get over her loss. I would recomend anybody to read this book it's a good one.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Was a strange book!
Review: The book was titled a thriller, yet there was not thrill. It had a plot that was hard to understand and the main character wasn't realistic. I know that it is fantasy but it didn't go along with the story line. After being attacked by a cave creature that turns out to be the love of her life, and then dealing with her real boyfriend, it was just too confusing. To say something positive, the attraction between Nicoletta and the cave creature was interesting. I think that the only thing that kept my attention was to see if they actually spend the rest of the lives together. That brings me to the end, which was definatly different than what I expected. Maybe that was a good thing, but I wanted it to be different. I think that the author wanted a younger audience to read her book because for anyone else it is on a higher level. All in all, I say that The Stranger, was definatly a strange book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This book is worthy of an award.
Review: The Stranger, by Caroline B. Cooney is a book that has really captured my eye. I first read this book in 8th grade, and I was drawn to it by the suspense and the anxiousness of Nicoletta. At times one may think "What is wrong with that girl, chasing after a boy like that?", but the book shows how at times, all is forgotten for romance and curiosity.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not very suspenseful...
Review: This book is said to be a suspense story, but it's really not. I liked this book b/c the story-line was really good, and easy to follow along. Now I am not gonna spoil the book for you, so all I gotta say now is , go read it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Book She Has Ever Wrote!
Review: This book is touching.I love the way she gives destription about Jethro. This book is also some what scary, when he tells his story about what happened to him. Nicoletta who falls in love with him which she doesn't know what he is will do anything for him. I grade this A++++++++!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Fairly good...
Review: This book was good, but it wasnt as good to have given this work 5 stars. I love Caroline's writing, but this one was lacking her excitement, and the passion of wanting to continue and find out the ending. I found I was forcing myself to continue. Although this book isnt as bad as I'm portraying. It has a good storyline, and the characters are really realistic. I like all the books by Cooney, but this one isnt compared to any I've read. If you want a good one by her, check out Flight #116 is down. This is really scary and interesting, makes you feel as if it really happened! As far as "The Stranger" it's not bad, read it and see what you think of it!
