All-Night Party by R.L. Stine
3.0
Real Rating: 2.5
Sigh, from what I've learned from this Cramathon.. I don't love R.L. Stine's Fear Street books as much as I used to. It's nostalgic for sure, but the writing is very notably juvenile for my taste (however, I find that this doesn't apply to the Fear Street Saga [The Betrayal, the secret, and.. I forgot the 3rd one and then the other bind-up of the trilogy following called "Cursed"]). This book was enjoyable because it didn't feel as "Oh my God! I cannot believe that happened!" (meaning the main narrator didn't sound as naive) as the other ones I've read for this cramathon. The ending also wasn't as predictable as I thought it was going to be. This book really has the bare bones for a really cool story, but I just wish it was a smidge more "mature". I really love how fast it is to get through the Fear Street books though, I will still keep reading and searching for the ones that don't have my cynical self rolling my eyes and how "shocked" the main character is that something ELSE bad happened.
