Rating: Summary: HORRIFYING AND DISTURBING...AND THIS IS JUST THE BIGINNING Review: This is the book where R.L. Stine finally reveals why Fear Street is so haunting and terrifying. THE BETRAYAL starts out in the 1900s in Shadyside, Massachusetts. Nora Goode is a young girl who just lost her lover, Daniel Fear, in a terrible house fire that fire fighters couldn't even put out. Nora knows the terrible secrets of Fear Street and must let everybody know before it's too late.She's the narrator, and she starts writing a book about the street. Her story starts out during the 1600s in Wickham, Massachusetts - a time when witchcraft is a very dangerous gift to posess. Anyways, a young pretty girl named Susannah Goode lives with her family in the village and soon becomes attracted to Edward Fier the son of Wickham's "governer", Benjamin Fier. When Benjamin learns that Edward wants to marry Susannah because they are in love, Benjamin falsely accuses Susannah and her mother of practicing witchcraft because he believes Susannah is "not a perfect match" for Edward. So he ends up burning Susannah and her mother at stake. Furious, Susannah's father - who really does practice witchcraft - puts an evil spell on the Fier family that they will all die and pay for stealing his innocent family away from him. The first part in this saga ends when Edward finds out the truth about Susannah - it's several years later and Edward has been married to another woman - and her mother. THE BETRAYAL is a really great book and a must read for all FEAR STREET fans. It's so good you can't put it down 'til you've finished. I really recommend it, and I also recommend the other two parts in this saga: THE SECRET and THE BURNING. Awesome, fun books to read for a relaxing evening!
Rating: Summary: its like real life Review: to tell the truth at times i didn't like those happy endings stories because the way my life was going this year. And when one of my online friends reccomend that I try reading the Fear street books , i checked out two and read them. (they aren't Fear street sagas) before I knew it, later in the year i checked out the story and read it in one day! I guess its because like real life is the reason i like it. Not everything has a happy ending. I reccomend this book to anyone who likes Fear street and to anyone that doesn't have a happy life. This book starts in WIckham Massachusetts, where Susannah and Edward are in love. When Benjamin, Edward's father learns that Edward wants to marry a poor girl, he falsely accuses Susannah and her mother and burns them at the stake. Then Nora Goode picks up the story later in 18 years later where WIlliam found the Fier family. I don't I'll reveal anymore secrets
Rating: Summary: This book flamed my interest and kept it till the last page! Review: I read this book ages ago and since then have read a thousand more but this book sticks out in my memory. The Fear Street Saga is imo the best of R.L. Stine. There's constant action and terrifying dark magic and a killer curse to keep one glued to the pages. I also highly suggest Christopher Pike as well, like R.L. Stine he does not talk to the reader like a person talks to a two year old but as intelligent readers of whatever age (myself being 20).
Rating: Summary: Goode vs. Fier: Part One Review: "The Betrayal" is the first book in The Fear Street Saga, chronicling the start of the Fear Street curse. The story begins in 1900 with the Fear mansion burning to the ground, killing everyone inside. Nora Goode is the only survivor, but she witnesses a horrible image through the window of the house--a young woman is tied to a stake and burned alive. The book quickly flashes back to 1692 in Wickham Village, Massachusetts Colony, where the latter young woman lives with her family. She is 16-year-old Susannah Goode, and she's in love with Edward Fier. However, his family forbids him to marry a poor girl like Susannah. To prevent them from eloping, Edward's father accuses Susannah of witchcraft, along with her mother. Yet before their death sentences are carried out, they're given one last glimmer of hope. Edward's uncle promises to arrange for their release if Susannah's father will pay for their freedom. Of course he does, but when the next day arrives, his daughter and wife are still burned. Apparently, the Fiers had fled the town that night after robbing everybody in it. Vowing to avenge his family's death, he invokes the Evil One (ironically, he was the one practicing black magic, not his daughter and wife) and sets out to create a vendetta between the Goodes and Fiers. I highly recommend this book to Fear Street fans. Once you've read "The Betrayal", you'll definitely want to finish this saga out with "The Secret" and "The Burning".
Rating: Summary: The Best book about Fear Street Review: Deep in the heart of Shadyside, a small, but lovely town, lurks a terror, far beyond those ever imagined. Fear Street. Murders, ghosts, Betrayal, Revenge and Dark secrets thrive on this infamous Road. But why DO so many terrifying things happen on Fear Street, and where did it gets it's name? The Evil goes far back in time, a story Nora Goode knows far too well. A story of Evil, an evil that has cursed the Fear family for generations, an Evil that destroyed Nora's one true love. Now Nora must tell her story. This is the first (and probably the best) of the Three Fear Street Saga books. Nora is the Narrorator, and her story goes all the way back to Wickham Village,Massachusetts, to Susannah Goode, a girl who is burned at the stake, accused of witchcraft because the father of the man she loves sees her unfit to wed his son. Susannah's father, a real witch, puts a terrible curse on the family, that will follow the Fiers (later changed to FEAR) through generations, will destroy the Fear family. Personally, this is the best book in the Fear Street series, beautifully written, it's best to have the second and third parts on hand, because once you start, you won't want to stop.
Rating: Summary: awsome book Review: I really like this book a lot. The only part that I do not like about this book is when they burned on that stick for something that they are not. I think that this book would be great for anyone to read.

Rating: Summary: to this day.... Review: to this day i still consider the fear street saga trilogy as favorite books of mine. i am 20 years old and i read them when i was 12 and loved them then. and the other day remeniscing with friends i was reminded of how good they were and still are! so since i'm home from college for the summer i'm beginning to read them again, just for fun. i definitely recommend these books and any of the trilogy-type books to younger readers. you guys won't be disappointed.
Rating: Summary: The Betrayl ROCKS! Review: I thought the Betrayl was one of the BEST books I have EVER read! And trust me i've read my share of books! The saga is amazing but the book itself is the most intriging of the whole series! It's one of those books you can read over and over again! I love it and i hope the rest of you do too!
