“A serial killer thriller for young'ns. Teen is haunted by failure to save a drowning girl the previous summer. When he finds a potential serial killer's journal while working at the subway lost & found, he sees a chance at redemption -- must catch the dude before the next girl dies. The best part of this book for me was not so much the serial killer/redemption plot, but the natural and funny repartee between Duncan and his two best friends.”

“This book fits the title. It starts off a slow read and quickly accelerates to a thrilling, bone chilling tale. When Duncan finds a diary in the subway’s lost and found, where he works, he discovers there is someone out there fascinated with torture, setting fires, and hunting human beings. Although Duncan is disgusted with the details of animal torture, he is even more disturbed at the fact that the diary details arrival and departure times, places of residents, physical features, etc. etc. of three women! He decides that he has to do something to prevent this sick-o from filling out his desires. He turns the diary into the police, but they ignore it, so he is convinced he must stop him himself. This is where I couldn’t put the book down, but got so scared I had to stop reading in order to remind myself to breathe! Read it to find out exactly what I'm talking about.... it’s definitely worth a good scare! ”

“My favorite scene so far in this book is the clues that Duncan and Vinny are trying to solve. I love how Vinny learns all these stuff from movies, books, magnize, and the tv show, 60 Minutes. Its hilarious how someway it seems to work for quite abit. My least favorite part in this book is somehow Duncan and Vinny work so hard but somehow they were wrong about it, plus i dislike when Duncan reads the diary because the info it gives is a it weird. How this book changed the way I see is that sometimes you have to take action when people around you don't believe it til you don't believe it like how Duncan went to the police station and they didn't believe him. ”

“My favorite scene so far in the book is Duncan trying to find out who the suspect might be and he's looking around for clues to help him find out who it is. It's pretty interseting because Duncan is the kind of person that is willing to take the risk to find out who is going to kill these three girls but at the same time it might not be true.
My least favorite part in the story is about the weird dreams he has about the girl that he tried to save. It gets confusing because he makes it sounds like it's real but i'm not sure if he really experianced that or it's all just a dream. He is always having that dream and it's really starting to get to him.
The book changed the way I saw how life really is and how some people you don't even know can be stalking you. It made me more aware of the people around me and who not to trust and who to trust. I really think this book got me thinking a lot about that becuase some girls don't even know that they are being stalked till the day that they get killed by the killer. ”
