I used to read these books all the time. I remember them being somewhat scary, and a page-turner for me. Now that I'm reading them again 15 years later, the experience has changed. The story is interesting enough. There is a seemingly trivial event at the beginning of the book, other than that, a whole lot of nothing happens. The chapter endings are filled with cheap "scares" that mean nothing. A slightly exaggerated example might be: "She walked to the bathroom, turned on the light, then gasped...more

Bobbi and Corky join the Shadyside cheerleading team, much to the chagrin of all the other team members, and accidentally unleash an ancient evil. It's Fear Street, for crying out loud. What else could happen?
The first time I read this series, I was eleven and whoa, did I love it. Fifteen years later, it's showing its age. I didn't expect I would be wowed again, fifteen years later, but I didn't expect I would cringe with regret, either.
Don't take that the wrong way. The book isn't bad. But with...more

I read these books back when I was 12 or so. They were ones that I remembered years later as being ones I really enjoyed.
I reread the Cheerleader series recently. It's obvious when you read these how much has changed in the world of YA books.
As an adult, these books are predictable and the writing does not flow well. Characters aren't fully developed and many of them are cardboard cutouts. Still, they were fun reads. I had forgotten how the later ones ended. They are definitely for younger reade...more

I have a huge collection of Fear Street books in my room. They're corny and small and they really aren't written all that well, but that's what makes them so great. Some are so ridiculous to the point where that makes it truly enjoyable.
The Cheerleader books in particular are my favorite Fear Street books. They'll always have a special place in my heart because they're what got me started on wanting to become a writer, as silly as that may sound to some on here. I also grew really attached to Bo...more

I should begin this review by saying that I've been reading RL Stine's Goosebumps growing up, they were the first books I ever read and they will always hold a special place in my heart. I've never read any of his other series though and seeing that Fear Street Cheerleaders had more of a YA feeling to it was a welcome surprise.

This series is the first that we see of The Evil that comes back in other books. It's a really good introduction to what caused all of the horrible things to happen on Fear Street. As for the plot of the book itself, (view spoiler) but other than that I thought it was good.

Seri Fear street ini ternyata kelanjutan dari The Awakening Evil (Fear Street Sagas, #10). Jadi sangat disarankan baca dulu The Awakening Evil baru baca novel ini. Roh jahat Sarah Fear kembali membawa ancaman setelah seratus tahun terkubur. Seru banget bacanya, aku suka ceritanya santai tapi tegang jg hehe.

I'm rating this based on what I thought when I was a teenager. I enjoyed rereading for nostalgia purposes, but it wasn't nearly as scary or creepy as I remembered.
The first R.L. Stein book I ever read in 4th grade- was quite scary- I took showers very quickly for at least a year and with the door open after reading this one!!

I forgot how much I enjoyed these books as a teenager. It was like seeing an old friend, but one thing is for sure... I do not miss High School!
This was my first step into the horror genre of books. I loved this book and honestly I still do. I wish I could find it again
I was a huge R.L. Stine fan in my early teens! I loved all the fear street books! They are what got me into reading again! :)
oh god, i was obsessed with the fear street books! never got into the goosebumps (i was too "old" for those at that point)
This one is the one that started my fear street obsession when I was a teen. Still have the entire series to this day.
OMG, it has been soooo long since I read any of these books, but I loved them all when I was younger!
First Evil is about these two sisters who just moved in and are experiencing isolation from cheerleaders. In the end, one of the sisters died and the other sister blames it on the wrong cheerleader who caused the incident.

A very quick read, I think I will continue to read this series in between longer books.
