A review by paperbackstash
April Fool's Day by Jeff Rovin

2.0

All I can say about this one is that sometimes movie - books work, sometimes they don't, and this is a case where it just doesn't. Written after the movie/screenplay, I had already seen the movie several times so was too familar with the content. The very end is different, but that's it. Written in a heavy handed YA style doesn't help. It brings it down to a childlike style that goes with a cheesy horror story, instead of digging deeper into the story and its motivations. Sure it's not a movie to be taken seriously and is there for fun value, but a book could have gotten into the character's minds, especially the haunted one of Nan with the abortion guilt.
