Summary: Halloween Legends
Review: " He's simply, and purely evil" --- How could anyone forget his face...and your blood? Using characters in a book that are not in the movie would somehow lower the standards of a great horror legend. When people see the character, they understand the character - they see qualities that a book cannot give them.

Summary: A good reading, but could have used some work!
Review: As a fan of the HALLOWEEN movies, I can say that this novel is a good effort from Kelly O'Rourke. Although the suspense was pretty well-written, it of course lacked the suspense carried by the movies. In the movies, Michael Myers is a silent predator who stalks his prey at a slow pace and is able to slip up on them unnoticed. This is what makes him truly terrifying. In this book, he practically runs into peoples' houses, throwing things around, and making himself known to everyone. He also growls way too much. I found this kind of unbelievable and not very effective. The characters were also kind of unbelievable. Worse than the Dr. Loomis character in the HALLOWEEN movies, the hero Jeff constantly repeats himself like a raving maniac with "Michael Myers is out there! He's out there! He's out there!" and constantly runs into stupid situations! The heroine Amy is totally blind to the danger and those around her who want to help her. Haddonfield, IL, is supposed to be a quiet midwestern town. I hardly think that there would be that much action from teenagers there. Remember, in the movies the teenagers usually got stuck babysitting or throwing small parties in farm houses on Halloween night. In other words, this novel could have been better with a little work. I also did not like the references to the original movie. The year of the original attack is named as 1985 instead of 1978 and Laurie Strode, Jamie Lee Curtis's character in the movie, gets no mention. The only straight reference is Judith Myers and the 1963 murder. But still, I must applaud O'Rourke's imagination that is put into this novel. It was a good effort!

Summary: a very good book
Review: I thought that this was a good book.A very good thriller.I'm guessing that they're gonna make a third book.You can tell by the ending.This was such a good book I spent almost three hours reading it. But the movies are scarier because of the music and Mike Myers mask.This is one of the best books I've ever read. singed, Daniel Leahy

Summary: This book scared me badly!!
Review: I was reading this book at night and had to put it down because I got so freaked out. This book is not for those with weak stomaches and very gross. A great book for horror fans.

Summary: The Old Myers Place
Review: Mary has just moved to Haddonfeild from L.A. to escape from a few bad choices. At first everything seems to be going great, until she attracts Michael Myers attention by living in his old house. This novel is a quick, fast read, and it is not really deep, as you can imagine. Although it dose talk about high school cliques and who your real friends are. As for Myers himself, he is missing for quiet a bit of the book, so I had to deduct points for that. But I have to remember this is a young adult horror novel, so I guess I should have expected it to not be TOO suspenceful.
