Summary: More chills from the ultimate bogeyman
Review: Halloween: The Mad House is the scariest book yet in Kelly O'Rourke's series based on the famed franchise. The creepiest suspense sequences, the grisliest deaths- it's plenty frightening all around. The author settles into the by-now familiar formula of teen soap opera meets horror thriller, but things pick up a lot sooner in this one and it's good enough to be adapted as a new sequel if Dimension decides to resurrect Michael Myers again.

Summary: good book but not micheal
Review: i have to agree with some of the other reviews.i liked the book,in fact i bought all three.but micheal doesnt make noises and sounds, and he doesnt move like the way he is portrayed in the book.and wether you liked it or not,the family story line was the movies and in the book there is no real motive.i think this is a great horror book and i liked reading it,i am a halloween fan and it gave me my fix.just some minor details bugged me.

Summary: Better than The Scream Factory
Review: I really enjoyed this book better than the Scream Factory. I thought the setting was alot scarier and the death scenes were more elaborate and gory. There seemed to be too many main characters though. I have trouble sometimes keeping them straight. If you are a Myers fan then you should definitely read this book. JUST DON'T READ THIS WHEN YOU'RE ALL ALONE IN THE HOUSE.

Summary: It wasn't the greatest
Review: I started reading the Halloween novels, three so far, which are based on the movies, I was amazed mainly because I have never read any of Kelly O'Rourke's books. The first and second were great, yet this one wasn't so great. Just like the movies! Halloween I and II were good, but the third wasn't so great. This story was a little too gruesome, especially with some guy getting killed by a shovel to the head, causing it to explode. I wasn't impressed, but I anticipate that more books are to come, maybe even better than The Scream Factory and Old Meyer's Place, which I highly recommend.

Summary: A great, scary book
Review: I thought the book was great. I don't agree with the growling or grunting. He dosn't do either in the movies. He is silent and he doesn't want to be seen. And he should be more scairer by walking very slow and standing in darkness where only his white mask can be seen. And she should tell more about his past. But overall it is a good book and I hope Kelly comes out with more in the future.

Summary: Reads like a Film
Review: I was surprised at this book. I haven't read an of the others, but it was very pleasing to read. Quite different than that of the target audience it was aimed for. Michael's motives seem a little out of wack in this book, but I was happy with the way that they didn't add in another family member. I did enjoy the book, it was great! I can see an untold chapter in the film series (*wink wink*)

Summary: Grunts & Groans
Review: I'd just like to say, I found this book a little childish, but then, maybe that's because it is meant for children. It doesn't seem to have any continuity with the movies. I've noticed a lot of people complaining about the fact that Michael grunts in the Book, but not in the movies, but this is in fact not true, as any real Halloween fan would know. He grunts repeatedly in the first movie, when he is fighting with Laurie, just before she pulls his mask off. He grunts repeatedly in the second movie, when he is trying to stab Laurie, just after he gets shot in the Eyes. He grunts a few times and lets out a muffled "Agh!" in H20 when Laurie repeatedly stabs him (just before he falls of the balcony). .......I wouldnt say he Groans much though! :o) This book is an obvious cash in, but it could be fun for "Shape" starved kids out there.

Summary: Pretty spooky.
Review: Kelly O'Rourke did a good job of making the charactors seem real, and of making a creepy atmosphere, but her prespective of Michael Myers is kinda off at times. Like when she mentioned that his jumpsuit was black? WRONG. As every hardcore Myers fan should know, Michael's jumpsuit is navy blue. Not black(of course!) And the whole grunting, groaning, growling thing is a major flaw, because he was always silent and emotionless ever since he murdered his sister. And also, he wasn't as sneaky and silent as he was in the movies, it was almost like he was desperate to be seen. Besides that, this was a very good book with gruesome death scenes, good humor, and loads of action. I'm only 11, but trust me on this: This is the best in the three book series.

Summary: A PRETTY GOOD BOOK FOR YOUNG READERS!
Review: This is a good, well-crafted book. It is perfects for young teenagers and kids from 9 to 12. It has a good sense of scares, suspence, and all that, but there are some problems. For one, Michael growls a lot in the book (which never happens in the movies), and they talk about how he smells. This book also has the feeling of an R.L. Stine "Fear Street" novel. Other than that, it is a good read.
