The suspense, interesting characters, and the surprise ending that you didn't see coming. There's no wonder that this man can still surprise you with the turn of every page. What I liked about reading DON'T STAY UP LATE is that I found every night I was promising myself I would stop reading at the end of a chapter so I could go to bed. However, when I got to the end, I had to read another chapter. Before long, you find yourself up way too late. And maybe a little bit frightened.

In this story, Lisa Brooks is having nightmares and hallucinations after suffering from a wreck that she and her family was in. As she tries to get better she starts babysitting for Brenda's son, Harry. They live on Fear Street and Lisa has been warned to not take the job. But her family needs the money. Things start to get worse for Lisa instead of better. She is hallucinating more and her friends are being murdered. Is there a connection?

I love trying to figure out what will become of the main character in suspense like this. Is she really going crazy or is she not? You had no clue to what was happening next. When you thought you knew, boom, just like that and you are surprised! DON'T STAY UP LATE by R.L. Stine is a must to read. I recommend this in the evening if you dare! Just don't stay up too late.
