The Burning by: R.L. Stine


The Burning
By: R.L. Stine
*****

The Burning is a whole story about the history of the Fear family and what they call the curse that has come between the Goodes and the Fears. It's the story of what happened before Fear Street was built. The story is about Simon Fier trying to change his life and stay away from the curse by changing his last name and moving to New Orleans. He does all he can to be rich. One day he breaks into the debutante party of Angelica Pierce and when he sees her he falls in love. They get married and it shows their life living together and their kids' life and their kids' kids life. It goes on through the family as Nora Goode tells the story by writing it on pieces of paper. Writing every single detail of how she and her husband broke the curse and that it may come again.

My favorite part of the book is when Nora Goode and Daniel Fear tell Simon Fear and his wife Angelica that they married and the fire starts. I love how Nora Goode is wearing the evil pendant that has gone on in the Fear family for generations and by wearing that necklace during the fire sees all the Goodes and Fears that have been killed by the curse. It is really the most thrilling part.

I rated this book a five star because it is thrilling and it digs deep into the history of the Fears and Goodes. Truly awesome.

The Burning is so cool~ I think they should make a movie about this book. People this days are not reading the book they're suppose to read. The Burning is going to burn every single second around us.
