The Confession is a horror mystery book this story takes place on Fear Street, located close to Shadyside High School. The story occurs in May, the middle of spring. The neighborhood reminded me of a small town where everyone knows everyone’s business. The story has the 21st century feel due to the customs and the way the people behave. Stine did an exquisite job in the area of describing the surroundings. I felt as if I could hear Al begging for money in Julie’s house. I...more

I enjoyed this book because of how easy it was to read. I have always enjoyed R.L. Stine books because of the easy following dialogue that captures the reader. This is a thriller/mystery novel that reveals the danger of wishing something to be true. Julie and all her friends wish that a boy named Al was dead, until he actually ends up dead. Julie assumes that the wish of her and her friends had nothing to do with the death of Al until someone confesses to her that she killed him. A discretion is...more

This book was about a boy called Sandy confessing to their friends that he killed someone. After his friends knows that he is a murder, they dont trust him anymore. They became terrified of him, they are scared of what sandy would do to them. At the end Sandy can't take the secret anymore and told one of his friends the real murder. The real murder is Sandy's girlfriend, Taylor. Sandy wanted to protect her so he took the crime. So Sandy and his friends decided to think of a plan to make Taylor c...more

OK so this one was not as awful as the first one that I read. I am now officially intrigued by the stylistic changes between the books. I do believe at this point, R.L. Stine had enlisted ghost writers so maybe I will see a trend of very poorly written books and not quite so poorly written. I will have to dig up the earlier books. This book attempts to throw off the reader multiple times and point fingers in multiple directions and it doesn't really work until the end. I guess when the book was...more

Julie hated Al, who always came around drunk and annoying. Al wasn't like that at first but things have changed. Soon they find out that Al has been murdered. Who did it? It was one of Julie's friends. Knowing this created chaos around each other. They became afraid of one another. Until the real murderer confessed.

I learned that murdering someone makes you feel great guilt and regret no matter how much you hate that person. This book was a good book and had many turning points on who was the m...more

i just finished reading this outstanding book from R.L. Stine and how i see that he made this book was by spoiling the book but he really doesnt he's just trying to trick us to beive that is it but soon it's someone one else that comited the murder. any way this story is about a girl named julie and she found out that her friend Sandy confessed to a murder. and now she's having trouble living her life with the secret.and i do recommend this book to every one.

Moral cerita: jangan sekali-kali mengaku telah membunuh seseorang, apalagi kalau sebenarnya pelakunya orang lain.

Baca buku ini sambil nonton serial tv Dexter, my favorite serial killer of serial killers.

Dexter Code #1: Don't get caught.

Tertangkap saja jangan, apalagi mengaku segala. Heuheu...

This book was really good!!! I finished this book in under 2 hours. I like how this whole thing plays out into some kind of twisted game that all these friends get sucked into. It's full of backstabbing, lies, and a murder. I think I'm starting to like R.L. Stine's "Fear Street Books" way better then his "Goosebumps" ones. Don't get me wrong... Goosebumps is a good series. Now that I'm older I think the Fear Street books have more appeal to be better the Goosebumps.

Brbohong sekali maka akan diikuti oleh kebohongan-kebohongan selanjutnya.
Jadi jangan coba-coba belajar berbohong.

Pola ceritanya sudah bisa terbaca sejak awal, jadi sudah tidak begitu greget lagi
Daniel Kim
This book was just filled with nonsense. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone. It was just filled with people lying to each other, and finding out the obvious truth later on in the book.

Alejandra
WOW. I remember liking RL Stine. I don't think I like the style anymore. It was definitely a quick read but it wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be.
Alice
This story had lots of twists in it and although they were fairly predictable and I guessed what was going to happen it was still enjoyable.
Schuylar
I really like how Sandy was believed to be the murderer and that it was proven wrong in the surprise ending. That was a great unexpected twist.

I thought this teen thriller was a very well plotted book. And was serious at some parts funny

at others and scary in most parts.

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! :)

Al was suppose to be friends with Julie, Vincent, Hilary, and Sandy but Al started to change when he was hanging out with the people with bad reputations. Al became a bully. He blackmailed his old friends and caused everybody to hate him. Hate that would be strong enough to murder him.
