NEED A GOOD RAINY DAY BOOK?
Silent Stalker is a wonderful book by a wonderful author.

The book begins with a girl and her reporter father traveling to an old castle {althought no getting along very well} But what will happen when they run into trouble and the only place to stay is in the castle itself???

I RECOMMEND this book. I couldn't even begin to tell you how many times I've read it. Thousands at least! And once you read this book by Richie, then I bet you'll get hooked and read more of her stories. I collect her books and love every single one. SILENT STALKER IS A MUST HAVE!!! ~5 STARS~

You have got to read this, its awesome!
This was the first Cusick book I ever read and I think its by far the best of all her books. The killer is so hard to name, it keeps you on the edge of your seat guessing who's after Jenny and when he'll strike. The characters are eccentric yet mysterious, and all around ultimate thriller.

The Best Book I Ever Read!!!
I can't even count how many times I have read this book. This was the first book by Cusick I had read and it got me hooked on the rest of her work. I recommend this book to anyone who needs a little mystery, horror, and romance in their lives.

Really Cool Book!!!
I loved reading this book. The characters and the story were very convincing. I just couldn't stop reading it, and I read it at least four times. The main idea of this book isn't really original, but of all the thriller/horror stories I read I think this is the best one. And it isn't like I had expected: just a cliché horror story, no I think it is brilliant...it's different. The Locker is certainly my favorite book!

One of her best!
The Locker was great! It is the only one of her books that I've read that was written in first person. It makes you more invovled in the book and more involved with the characters. Cusick creates excellent, believeable characters.

This book deserves more than 5 stars
THis book was incredible. I was often called down in class for reading it. I couldn't put it down. The characters were very believeable. I had a perfect picture in my mind of each character and all of their surroundings. The ending was perfect. Not predictable at all. A must read!

Thank you Mrs. Knight
At Home With Gladys Knight is a wonderful, inspiring book. I bought this book for my parents who both have diabetes. After years of trying to get them to follow doctor recommended diets it is a relief to have a book that inspires my parents to not only care about their diet, but their physical fitness as well.
Mrs. Knight has created a quick and easy read that is full of motivation. This book gets 5 stars in the Murphy household.

A wonderful read ^_^
This was the second Richie Tankersley Cusick book that I've read and the first was Silent Stalker, which was also very good. Once I had read Silent Stalker, I was instantly hooked on this author's writing style.

I love her her books simply because her books have a bit of everything that I look for in her books! She has a bit of romance, quite a bit of mystery, and almost always has a twist ending that leaves me speechless and shocked! I could never put down any of her books because I was so curious and anxious to find out everything!

This book is seriously one of my favorites and I never really read that much before reading this book last year (8th grade) in my school library. This book is truly one of her bests out of all of the books that I've read from Cusick. Although I won't describe in detail about the book and the plot, I think that you're denying yourself a great book if you don't read this book, especially if you're in junior high. I think people of all ages could enjoy this book, I believe that this book may not seem as well-written as other suspense novels, such as Tami Hoag, but Cusick's books seem to be aimed more towards teens in junior high and high school.

Overall, this is a wonderful book! I won't say any more, but I can say that this book will leave you shcoekd and fully satisfied as I was. Enjoy ^_^

Strange Coincidences
A Review by Darcy

Her sister was murdered. Now Ryan will learn why some secrets should be carried to the grave.....

Stunned by the loss of her sister, Ryan determines to keep the secret they shared right before Marissa died. But Ryan soon finds that she is caught in a web of growing terror as a series of "coincidences" make Ryan doubt her own sanity. Can she discover the truth before she shares her sister's fate?
I thought this book was really great! It kept me riveted to the pages the whole time. I finished it in two days. I enjoyed the way the book made you feel as though you had lived in the town as long as Ryan had, and knew all the characters such as Jinx and Phoebe. You could also really feel her pain at losing her older sister, and her fear as someone began trying to convince her she was insane. I recommend this book to anyone who likes suspense, and a well-written novel

Richie's books rock!
I've read close to all of her books and this is one of thebest.


George W. Bush and His Family Paper Dolls

Them boots (let them hate as long as they fear)
This product may well become a collector's item some day.

In an uncanny and prescient manner them boots answer the question in John B. Kiesling's resignation letter from the Foreign Service in protest against the policy of the Bush administration:

"Why does our president condone the swaggering and contemptuous approach to our friends and allies this administration is fostering, including among its most senior officials? Has 'oderint dum metuant' really become our motto?"

My hat's off to the perceptive first reviewer below.

Superb
Another first-rate paper doll book from Tierney, this time of the first family. All of the clothes are marvelous, but nothing says "oderint dum metuant" quite like stack-heeled cowboy boots with a tux.

Wonderful!
This book was great from start to finish. I loved the way romance was mixed with horror, and it made for a great ending! I would definitely recommend this book to any adolescent who likes to be a little scared.

One of the best!
I was in the library looking for an autobiography and I made a short trip to the "young adult mystery section" and I happened to come across this book. So I checked it out. This book was really good. It was well written and well described that it was so easy to get a picture in your mind. It had a really nice ending to it. I couldn't believe who the killer was at the end.

Doggone good
Totally rad. The killer was someone who never even crossed my mind. Great plot, great suspense, great characters, all in all a great read.

One of my RTC's Fav book!!!!
Oh, I love this book. OK. Here's the summary.

***Kelsey and her mom went to stay at an island with Kelsey's mom's boyfriend. When they get there, Eric was Kelsey's mom' boyfriend, told them that his daughter Beth was missing. The police can't find any clue about the disappearing. But that's not all weird. There are more disappearing before Kelsey even arrived. Some girls were missing mostly from their dates. Kelsey met Justin and his brother Neale. Both are also Eric's son. Justin is so sweet and incredible nice to Kelsey from the start. He seem to like her a lot. But on the other hand, Neale is so strange and he's mean to her. He dislike her and wouldn't talk at all to her or even to welcome her staying on the island, unlike what Justin like. Then there's Skip, a very handsome guy that Kelsey had attracted on the first place. Donna, who's really nice to Kelsey and befriend with her.
Kelsey found a note from Beth saying the she was in trouble. Kelsey put the note away and when she get back to it, it was gone. Then strange thing happen to her.***

This book is so good. But at the ending is pretty sad. When the culprit was being revealed. But I really do recommend this book along with "The Drifter", another one of my favorite; "April's Fool", "Help Wanted", "Vampire", "Someone at the door" and "Silent stalker". Enjoy!!!

Fond Memories
This was the first YA "Thriller" I'd ever read. It started me on my descent into madness (aka "the writer's life") and holds a powerful spell over me today. Now that I'm published myself, I look back at it with fond thoughts.

Well written, believable characters make this book shine. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants a FUN book for the beach! Just be careful about going into the water...you never know who will have to rescue you!

I LOVE THIS BOOK I READ IT 3 TIMES AND ILL READ IT EVEN MORE
i read this three times and couldnt believe who the killer was but i is awsome...but i could read it again and again and again and again...

My eyes never left the page!
I loved this book! When I first picked it up, I thought it would be a nice "scary" story to read. It was that and then some! I become Hannah and was just as scared as she was! My heart was pounding as I flipped pages and I literally had to put the book down (for a second!) to catch my breath. No other book has made me feel this scared to open the front door! I loved the mystery, the "trapped" feeling they had and what they had to do to survive. I re-read this book every chance I get and I still get chills when I read it, even though I know what's to come! Great job! Looking for a heart-stopping story, look no further! Its here!

Someone at the Door
I thought this book was one of the best that i have read. It was the first book that i read by RTC and I'm in here looking for more...This book is a major thriller. When Hannah and Meg's parents are gone a huge snow storm comes to there area...during the night 2 men come to the house one very badly hurt...of course Hannah and Meg take them in and took care of them...as the book goes on mysterious things happen, for example there dog disappears. The girls start to suspect that the men are the one's responsiable for the things that are happening and don't know what to do...I loved this book and hope that if you read it you would too...I recomend this book to EVERYONE! I hope that this has helped you decide if you would like to buy this book or not.. BYE BYE

Helping can turn deadly.
When Hannah and her younger sister Meg help 2 wounded strangers who show up at their door, they panick.Suddenly, the dog was missing, the axe wasn't there, and there were little sick surprises being left for Hannah.Hannah and Meg don't know who to trust, but something for sure was terribly wrong.When they think they have everything figured out, everything is turned upside down and all 4 lives are changed. To whomever is considering this book to read, i recommened it dearly.It is my all-time favorite book, and I only wish you should read it.It was a frightening tale of being home alone and it always kept me on my toes, every detail made my body shiver. It was a mystery that i think everyone would enjoy reading!

Well, let me explain...
I don't know if I liked it or I didn't. The story had to do with those five grisly books on murder for all of five minutes. The rest was about accidents with themes of books and the books being found by Kathleen before somehting would happen somtimes. That was a great idea, and I'm sure it was a little tough, but there was something about the whole story that I didn't like. The ending was monotonous and boring, kind of like a typical R.L. Stine book for a while. The real killer was unpredeictable, and the killer's motive was pretty cool. Yet, what i can't get over is why Kathleen's best friend Bran's mother was always calling her "cara." Is that Italian, becuase she was really Italian, the mother that is.

I absolutely hated the epilogue. Bran and Kathleen become more than friends. That is so dumb. It's like going witht the thought that all boy-girl friendships end up or really are boyfriend-girlfriend relationships. That offends me becuase I have a friend who everyone thinks that way of.

All in all, you have to read it and see how you like it. I kinda liked it, but I don't know.

Can the Library really be dangerous?
Kathleen doesen't expect anything bad to happen at the libary. Yet someone is out for her blood. Now she must find out who wants to end her life. Or she will die. This book will keep you guessing! Read it!

A MUST READ
Wow! This was my first ever book I read by Cusick and now I am hooked on her books. I have read starstruck, a five star, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer,another five star. THis book is great and will keep you guessing who it is. Bran is my fav. character. He is great and great for Katheleen. It is a must read!

awesome!!!!!!
Well,i thought that this book was really cool!Out of all the 11 richie tankersly cusick books i have,this was one of my favorites.It's about how trica works at muffin mania at the mall,and then she starts seeing this weird guy stalking her,giving her strange looks that worry her.Thats when she gets a message by her boss that her car was smashed up,so when trica goes to see whats wrong with it,there isn't anything wrong,so...she gets a phone call in the parking lot.....well,you'll have to read it.It's exciting,and if you like horror and mystery,then get this cool book.I'm sure that you won't beable to stop reading it.

My FAVORITE!!!
This is THE BEST book I have EVER read. I'm 13, and the book that got me hooked on Cusick was Someone at the Door, another great book. In The Mall, my favorite characters are Wyatt and Storm, because of what they turn out to be in the end and because, when together, they say great sarcastic one-liners (which are my specialty). I also like "Athan", the way he's so pervertedly obsessed with Trish and how he actually lives IN the mall. That was cool.

Excellent
This book is VERY god, and i would recomend it to everyone. Normally i dont like to read books, but when i read this one i could not put the book down.
PLEASE PLEASE read this book it is excellent.
