Must have been one of her first books?, Feb 22 2000
This review is from: EVIL ON THE BAYOU (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm not sure how to describe this exactly: it was an okay book, but I was sort of disapointed. It sounded very young, like maybe it was one of her first books. But that doesn't make since, since she was writing books in the 80s. Go figure. Anyway, I would recommend this book for preteens, and not really for people have read a lot of her other books, because you'll be let down, I garuntee it. The characters are thin, and the suspense isn't very well built. But, since the ending was pretty cool, and she IS my fave author, I'll give it 4 stars.

Memories, Aug 2 2005
By TurtleGirl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: EVIL ON THE BAYOU (Mass Market Paperback)
I read this book when I was 9 (when it was originally published way back in '84). I borrowed a copy from our library and have never forgotten the storyline--the young girl, the elderly infirm relative(a great-aunt?), the house, the astonishing recovery of the great-aunt, the slow deterioration of the young girl's health ...
I enjoyed it then and I'm hoping to find a copy so I can re-read to see how it measures up to my memory. I can't believe it was re-issued and I missed it! I know *kids today* probably won't find it nearly as exciting as it was 20+ years ago but I loved it then.
