Haunted by R.L. Stine
4.0
“Haunted” follows Melissa struggle to understand why a ghost is after her. There is nothing that she remembers doing to the ghost, Paul, and she does not recognize him. Paul will not leave her alone until her gets justice for his death.
I enjoyed “Haunted” and liked the struggle between Melissa and Paul to discover the truth. In typical YA literary style, Melissa develops feelings for Paul. I thought this was kind of cute, but that might be because Halloween is coming soon and I like to embrace the supernatural elements and decorations. Paul comes across as a dislikable character, but manages to slowly become more pleasant. Paul kind of reminded me of the greasers in “The Outsiders”, in the way that he was described.
“Haunted” was probably the Fear Street novel that I have found most amusing. I found a lot of the writing to be cliché and overdone, but that could be because the book was written twenty-eight years ago. I laughed at a couple of the things that Melissa did and some of Paul’s behaviour was a little silly. Overall, I did find “Haunted” to be entertaining and I remain fond of the Fear Street books.
