The Lost Girl: A Fear Street Novel by R.L. Stine

2.0

Wow.

Was the original series this bad?

The only reason I stuck with the slow-moving storyline was to see what in the world Lizzy was. Because she definitely wasn’t a ghost. After all, why would a ghost steal food? So the main character wasn’t interesting - he was hypnotized by a girl. He’s constantly reminding us of what he said before, which was annoying, because I’m smart enough to remember what he said before! And I’m sorry, but I found his remarks about majoring in creative writing off-putting. Honestly, his style wasn’t very creative. It makes me so sad to say that I didn’t like this book, but I have to be truthful. It wasn’t good. I absolutely LOVED the Fear Street series. I wish the reboot would have held up! I’ll try another book from the reboot again, in case it’s just this one that’s the problem. Fingers crossed!
