LoginThis one disappointed me just a little. While it wasn't bad overall, the first half of the book read like a Young Adult novel, and not even a horror novel. It just dealt with high school cliques and talked about the worst of today's teenagers, or at the least the stereotypes.
It did get better once Freddy starts to make longer appearances, but even then it felt like something was missing. It was almost like this was an angst filled Young Adult novel and Freddy was just thrown in as an afterthought. Now, that being said, I do understand that some of the teenage drama was necessary in order to build the story up for the conclusion, but to me it felt like it dragged on too long.
This wasn't bad at all, I just thought it could have been better. Now that I think about it, I guess several of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies played out like YA novels with all the angst and teenage tropes and such. If you're a fan of the movies and of Freddy, it's worth reading for sure. Just be prepared to wade though some teenage girl angst before you get to the scary parts. (Or is that vice versa? lol)
