A quick horror read just in time for a Halloween scare. Because the book is based on the screenplay (by David Loucka) of a movie of the same title, the book’s words follow the film almost exactly. In the movie, Jennifer Lawrence stars as Elissa. She is the teenage daughter who, together with her mom, move to an affluent area in a house they can afford to rent only because of a murder that occurred next door four years earlier. Soon Elissa meets the not-so-dreamy boy next door, only to discover that the horror still lingers.

I’ve never read a book based on a movie (I think). Those usually just seem like cash grabs to me. Was this worth checking out as a novelization or is the movie alone enough to spook the shit outta people?

The book really is not worth a read if you’ve seen the movie. I just wanted to see if I would learn anything more, but I didn’t. The movie is OK. It had an interesting beginning, but it is predictable.

Oy, sounds like a good quick read! I just read thriller “The Girl Next Door” by Mary Kubica. Lots of surprises!

I read it for my book club meeting we had last night. Everyone but me didn’t like the surprise twist at the end but I’m twisted that way, lol!
