"The Train" by Diane Hoh was outstanding! I'm a thriller fanatic, and out of all of the books I've read so far, this is the best! From the first chapter to the last, it's suspenseful. The storyline and setting is unique, in numerous ways. For one, in most thrillers, life-threatening events occur, but there usually isn't an actual death or murder. There was in this book, which turned out to be sad, because it was one of the main characters, and after reading, you get attached and feel like you've lost a friend! Secondly, most books don't completely shock you at the end. You usually suspect everyone to a certain extent. But, the killer in "The Train" was totally unexpected! That is what I call the perfect thriller-chiller! Enjoy!

Shortly after departure, some students are mysteriously attacked, including Hannah who is knocked unconscious and placed in Frog's empty coffin. But where was Frog's body if not in the coffin? Accordingly, Hannah starts to believe Frog isn't dead, that he's instead seeking revenge on Hannah and her friends for being so mean to him last year.
I thought "The Train" was an all right book, but it's not my favorite; it's more of a 4 or 4 1/2-rating than a 5. The train setting was great though since I love trains, and the book vaguely reminded me of the cheesy 1980 horror flick starring Jamie Lee Curtis called "Terror Train". However, some scenes were somewhat drawn-out, like the one with Hannah locked in the coffin; and sometimes the characters were thinking far too slowly for the reader or reacted too predictably. Still, if you're into Point horror books and like Diane Hoh, then you'll probably like "The Train". For readers age 12 and up.

Titanic - The Long Night:
Book Review
We all remember April 12th, 1912, when the Titanic sank. It was a great tragedy for many families, children, and especially lovers. Diane Hoh's, Titanic - The Long Night, is the retelling of this event, included with a love story. This story has most emphisis on this tragic love story. A rich girl named Elizabeth Farr is aboard the Titanic with two parents who could care less about what she wants. A boy named Max Whittaker is also aboard the ship with some friends named, Brian and Patrick Kelleher, and Kathleen Mahoney. Max is from Paris on his own. His parents are in New York. While aboard this ship, Max and Elizabeth begin to have feelings for each other. They form an unforgettable relationship. Later on throughout the book, the ship hits an ice burg and begins to sink. Lucily both characters survived.
There were many things that I liked and disliked about the book. For example, I liked the way the character, Kathleen had so much self confidence. I liked how the author included how each of the characters felt. I also liked the way Elizabeth stood up to her parents. " Give me what I really want. Give me the right to make my own decisions. Forget about marrying me to Alan Reed, and send me off to collage." This showed me that Elizabeth was not a coward and that she wouldn't let her parents make unreasonable decisions for her life.
There were also many parts of the books that I disliked. I did not like the parts when the characters judged each other or when they wouldn't listen to each other. I also didn't like the fact that there wasn't much detail on Max's point of view towards Elizabeth. I know it seems obvious that Max likes her, but it didn't state what he liked about her. I felt that in the beginning of the book, Elizabeth judged Max. " I think you might be in the wrong area of the ship. Does your ticket read first class?" Elizabeth said to Max. I felt that what she said was very rude. If someone doesn't look the way they should, that doesn't mean that they are not a good person. Although, I believe that Elizabeth learned her lesson.
My favorite part of the book was when the ship sank. This part of the book had so much detail and description., I felt as if I was actually there. When the ship sank, it should me how much one can mean to another. It even should me how much and an object, such as the Titanic, can also mean to one. Best of all, I liked how strangers were helping each other in this time of need. This book really changed my point of view towards many things. We shall never forget the Titanic.
