Product Details


Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

Rena, a Michelle Pfeiffer look-alike, is attending a theatrical summer camp with a friend, boy-crazy Julie. When Rena effortlessly wins the leading role in the play Curtains , she also provokes the wrath of Hedy, the camp diva, who was sure she had the part sewn up. Julie openly resents Rena's easy popularity with male campers Chris and George. When a series of cruel and bizarre pranks is directed against Rena--a slashed swan in her bed, her wardrobe destroyed--the finger of guilt seems to point at either Julie or Heda. Leading the unsuspecting reader along various paths, Stine handily arranges an abrupt turn that leads to an unforeseeable ending. The story has a strong yet vulnerable heroine in Rena, and contains just enough gore to sate horror fans. Although Curtains will never be mistaken for serious literature, it is sure to engross Stine's considerable following. Ages 13-up.

4.0 out of 5 stars Who Will Die Next?, Sep 18 2002
By Rudy (Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Curtains (Mass Market Paperback)
This book starts out very weird, but then you know what's going on. I think it was pretty good, except there are too many surprises. You think someone dies when he or she doesn't. Or you think the main character will die in the next chapter, but I think it was not bad at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Curtains, Mar 23 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Curtains (Mass Market Paperback)
The book Curtains by R.L. Stine is a wonderful book. It was interesting and very simple, yet moving. When I started reading the book, surprisingly, it pulled me into its world of mystery and horror. I felt as though I was the main character in the story. The way the author used descriptive language really made me visualize what actually happen in the story. I liked the characters in the story. My favorite character was Rena. I felt the same pain she felt in the story. In Curtains Rena hid a dark secret she developed three years ago. She thought it would be hidden for good, but when Rena came to a summer theater camp, she was given the star role of the play, Curtains. During an onstage performance, a Broadway director drives Rena's secret out of her. Because of her star role, she is the envy of the evil and malevolent Hedy, who promised her she would never play the star role. After the performance scary things start happening to Rena. If you want to find out more, read the story. I recommend this book to young adults who like horror, drama and suspense. Like R.L. Stine's book The Confession, Curtains is a book that pulls you into its own world. I think R.L. Stine is a great author, and I hope he writes more books for kids to read.
