I thought that it did not have to go on as long. Maybe if more bad luck happened, I would enjoy it more!

It was good in the beginning and middle, but towards the end, it got a little off topic. That brougth it down to 4 stars. Also, the ending seemed rushed and incomplete. I was left with a few questions in mind mind still. Hence, the 3 stars. Still! Though, I would recommend this book to everyone! It was very enjoyable.

This is a good middle school read, but it doesn't have a lot of draw for the high school or older set.

I didn't expect much of The Chain Letter, sort of expected it to be one of those pre-teen books that are sort of shallow and I don't really read much anymore.

The chain letter is also a good book that I randomly chose from a book fair in my middle school last year. It is a good book about superstitions which you can probably tell based on the name "The Chain Letter". The book is really good and does really show how believing in bad luck can really affect people...I almost started believing in good/bad luck after reading this book. :)Joking. But yea...it is good. You should read it if your into superstitious books!!!

This was a really good mystery book. Julie Schumacher has a great way of describing superstitions, and why to avoid chain letters. READ IT!
