Summary: A Definite "I Couldn't Put It Down" Book!!!
Review: Robert Cormier is an incredibly talented author, and this novel confirmed to me that he is definitely my favorite author! Before Denny, the main character is born, his father, John, was suspected of a tragedy that claimed the lives of 22 young children and injured many others on Halloween. Throughout the next 24 years, John's family would encounter many acts of harassment. One day, Denny answers a phone call (which he was not supposed to do) from somebody who survived the calamity and wants to seek revenge on John...so what's not a better way than to lure the son into a trap on Halloween on the 25th anniversary of the disaster? Maybe that will teach John a lesson...or maybe it will teach the stalker a thing or two...

Summary: In the Middle of the Night
Review: Summary:
On Halloween, eight years before Denny Colbert was born, his father was involved in a tragic accident at a Halloween show that killed twenty-two children. His father was blamed for the cause of the accident because he was the one that started the fire. Although it has been awhile since the accident, some have not yet forgotten about it. Phone calls start every October when the anniversary of the accident is near. Year after year, the Colbert's receive phone calls late at the night. Mr. Colbert simply just picks the phone up, listens calmly to the angry voice on the other end for several minutes, and then hangs up. Because of these phone calls, Denny isn't allowed to answer the phone-ever. But now he is 16 now and just wants to be like other kids, so he disobeys his parents and answers one of the phone calls. Denny is surprised when he hears what is on the other end of the phone. He is drawn into a deadly relationship with the mystery caller who has haunted his family for years. Recommendations:
I thought that this book was very good. It wasn't the best book I have ever read, but it was worth while to read. The beginning of the book was slow but by the end it kept me on the edge of my seat. This book will teach you a very good lesson, which was to always listen to your parents. If you like mysteries, adventure, horror, drama, and suspense you should read this book. I don't recmomend that kids under 10 read this book. It had some faul words in it and mature situations. If you are looking for a good scare...go out to the library and get this book!

Summary: Savanna's book review for In the Middle of the Night
Review: This edge of your seat thriller will leave you looking over your shoulder, everywhere you go! A young man named Denny Colbert is the main character of this tale. Twenty-five years prior to the time of the story John, Denny's father, was involved in a tragic accident on Halloween night leaving twenty-two people dead. Every night, around Halloween, John receives some very disturbing phone calls. For this reason Denny was, and still is, not allowed to answer the phone, ever. When this rule is broken Denny suddenly becomes the man on the run, or does he? This book is a book for anyone who loves suspenseful plots and twists of fate. In the Middle of the Night is a book that I would recommend to those who love to read, and for those who don't, I doubly recommend this book. You won't be able to put it down. In the Middle of the Night was, by far, one of Robert Cormier's best work

Review: This is a really good book. At the beginning, and towards the middle its kind of confusing, but the way it clears up is really interesting. This is definately a page turner. I reccomend it for people who enjoy suspense and horror movies. I love the "scream trilogy". If you like scary movies like that, then u'll probably love "In the Middle of the Night" by Robert Cormier.
