Brain Candy
This is a truly awesome book. Even though I have only read 2 books in the Med Center series, I am already addicted. She uses down-to-earth characters and real-not-real situations. A refreshing change from other books I've read. If you were like me, thinking that series are stupid and so old-fashioned you'll definitely change your mind when you read this book. Happy reading!

Good
When i started reading this book, I found Hoh's books nonlikeale. In the last 4 books I read, the killer was easy to prodict. When I read this one I was blown away. The events that happened were good, and an unexpected ending. When I started reading this book, I thought it would be like R.L. Stine's No Answer and The Cheater. Both I hatted. This book was not like them. READ THIS BOOK!

Amazing!
I read "The Whisperer" by Diane Hoh for a book report. I'm in the 7th grade. I had 3 weeks to read the book but it was so good I read it in 2 days. I usually wait till the end and have about 100 pages to read in a day but I just couldn't stop once i started. Diane Hoh is my favorite author and i'm constantly looking for websites about her and more books. I also reccomend "Kidnapped" by Diane hoh. You'll love it!

Suspenseful but Entertaining
I read Nightmare Hall: The Whisper by Diane Hoh and it was such a great book. I could not put the book down every time I would try to put it down for the night something suspenseful happened and I kept on reading. In this story a girl named Shea is getting menacing phone calls right after an accident with her college teacher happens and the teacher gets put in the hospital. This book wasn't that hard to read but if you weren't concentrating not only are you missing out but you are sure to miss something important. I highly recommend this book to any one who likes suspense,mystery,and a little spook in their lives.

Jilted girl seeks revenge and finds love.
When Brian breaks up with Kate, her whole world falls apart. She is confused, angry, and lonely.. ready to tear apart anyone who wants to get close to her. Least of all charming Adam Tranter. His teasing and flirting do little to abate her hostility towards him, and Adam finally gives up on Kate. Too late, Kate realizes that Adam is a boy she could learn to trust and love, but is his pride too hurt to forgive her? (I read this book once a week; it is THAT excellent!)

Best book of all time.
This is a book I want to carry with me to my grave. It is THAT EXCELLENT! When Kate Ryan is dumped by her boyfriend Brian, her world falls apart. She is determined to win him back and will stop at nothing to do so. Kate uses handsome Adam to try to make Brian jealous. Suddenly, things get confusing and Kate isn't sure who she wants anymore. Has she let obsession for Brian ruin her opportunity for romance with Adam? This is supposedly a "young adult" romance, but it's much more than that! All romance readers will treasure this well-written novel about finding love and independence. The feelings in it are so real and honest that you won't be able to help yourself from falling in love with this book! (It's out-of-print, but worth the trouble of trying to find it.

Vowing to win him back...
Jilted and obsessed! Beautiful Kate Ryan can't forget about her first love, Brian, and will do anything to win him back. This includes using handsome new student ,Adam, to make Brian jealous and writing long love letters to Brian. Kate knows that Brian will realize that they were meant for each other. But Kate's plans do not work perfectly--suddenly she is jealous of Adam's friend Marsha and also jealous of Brian's plain girlfriend Julie. What confusion! It doesn't help that all of Kate's friends and family are giving her advice on how to be independent. Which boy does she really care about and will her stubborn pride stop her from finding true love? This is THE BEST BOOK EVER WRITTEN!!!!! GET IT! It is intelligent, insightful and fun..... A book about a young and real romance which rings true and tugs at the heart

If you like books about medical stuff, read this book!!
Virus is a good book, but sometimes hard to follow. I enjoyed the story, but couldn't figure out some of the conflicts. Some of the things about Will and Susannah made me slightly confused and had to look through the book to understand. Overall, it was a good book

Very Thrilling!
Virus is the first med center book I read and it got me so hooked that now I'm planning on ordering all 6. Virus is about 5 young teenagers who volluteer at the local hospital. Then a lethal virus sweeps over Grant and captures the life of one teenager, threatening to take even more, until they call in outside help. Who knows if Grant and the volluteers will ever beat this one?

I loved this book!
This book is about Med Center in Grant,Massachusetts getting taken over by a very deadly virus.If you like suspensful books,you'll think that this was phat.Read it and find out about what happens to Susannah,Abby,Will,Callie,Kate,and all of the rest of the Med Center Group.

The only Hoh book I have read. Yet!!!!
This is the only Hoh book I have read yet.When hannah goes on a trip with her friends to San Franciso they never expected the horrors that were in store for them.I would recommend this book for someone likes twists.

Amazing!.....
Hannah, Mack, Kerry, Lewis, and Jean Marie are all a group of best friends on a school trip to California by train. Soon after boarding, Hannah discovers that the coffin of Frog Drummond -- a school outcast who was killed in a car accident -- is on board. After telling her friends the news, they all confess to tormenting him; soon their lives are in danger when a deranged stalker, who they believe to be Frog himself, shatter their plans.

"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!

b.) "The Boy Next Door" by Sinclair Smith
c.) "Starstruck" by Richie Tankersley Cusick
d.) All books by Joan Lowery Nixon

"A one-way ticket... to terror."
Hannah Deaton--along with 29 other Parker High students and 2 chaperoning teachers--is expecting the August train tour from Chicago to San Francisco to be a lot of fun. However, there's just one distraction--a coffin is being transported in the baggage compartment of the train, and inside is the body of Frederick Roger Drummond, aka Frog, the late troublemaker at Parker High who recently died in a fiery automobile accident.

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.

For Titanic fans: READ THIS BOOK!!!!!!!
This book was great. I learned more from this book because it was in so much detail that you felt like you were witnessing everything. The book has alter egos, which at times can be very confusing, especially when the great ship starts to sink. One part is about Elizabeth Farr; traveling in first class. Elizabeth is expected to marry a boring man after she gets back to New York. Elizabeth soon meets a young traveler named Max Whittaker, the son of aquantences. Elizabeth is jealous at the fact that Max is independant, and Elizabeth wants to know how he did it. The other part is about 3 Irish third-class passengers, hoping to make a better life in America; Kathleen Hanrahan, and the brothers: Brian and Patrick Kelleher. When the Titanic begins to sink, the full potential of each character comes out with a beautifully written ending. Their are only two problems. One, the book kept on flipping back in forth from 3rd class to 1st, which got confusing when the Titanic sinks. And the second, the author took some ideas from the movie; but gives a new zest to those ideas. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the sinking of the Titanic.

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.

Great fictional account of the disaster.
TITANIC: THE LONG NIGHT by Diane Hoh is a great fictional account of the Titanic disaster through the stories of five fictional teenagers on the doomed ocean liner. Elizabeth Farr is in first class. She is trying to escape both her debut into society and an impending marriage to a wealthy, older man she doesn't love, and to persuade her parents to allow her to go to college. Also in first class is Max Whittaker. Max defied his wealthy parents by travelling to Paris to study art. Now poor, he is only able to travel first class on the Titanic because his wealthy grandmother sent him the ticket. In third class is Katie Hanrahan, a 16 year old Irish girl dreaming of becoming a singer in New York. Katie has left her family and her small village to build a new life for herself. Also in third class are two brothers, Brian and Patrick Kelleher. They also dream of a new life in America. During the voyage, Elizabeth falls in love with Max, and is now more dertermined then ever to break off her engagement to the man she does not care for. Katie falls in love with Patrick, only Patrick is afraid to return her feelings, as he believes that Katie loves his brother Brian. It takes the sinking of the Titanic for true feelings to be revealed. But is it too late? Who will survive? Will Elizabeth, Max, Patrick, Brian, and Katie be among those who get out alive? READ THIS BOOK TO FIND OUT!

This is Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Silent Scream strats the ball for Diane Hoh's Nightmare Hall series. The Silent Scream is a good way to do this> It tell's you of this beautiful girl who committed sucide but is that really true? Diane Hoh tells the story brilliantly and I love her books however I feel the ending was disappointing and unbelievable!

Check it out, I did and I loved it
This book is about a girl name Jess, she is on a dorm off-campus. Her room is very cold and there rumors about a girl that comited suicide in that same room... Who the letter? Did Giselle really comited suicide?
Have a try, because it's worth it. It's very well written and the book totally absorves you since the begining... Diane Hoh, makes a perfect mix of suspence, horro and romance in a very thrilling way....

Good Book
This book was full of twists and turns. It stars a girl named Jess who lives off campus at her collage. Jess finds out that something terrible happened in her room the previous year; a girl hanged herself there. One day while she is cleaning her room, she finds all these love letters that were to Gisell, and then she comes to the conclusion that Gisell didnt hang herself, but that she was murdered. Now all these weird occurances start happeneing at "Nightmare Hall" (what the students call it). Everyone thinks that Jess is crazy because when the weird stuff happens, she is the only person there, so there isnt any witnesses.
