 A Fun Read November 18, 2008
This was just a really fun book to read. It got me interested in a few authors I didn't know about and First Book, who put this book out, is an amazing charity
 Disappointing August 4, 2008
Besides the fact that most of the stories have some kind of "open endings" (which means that they probably just run out of pages and had to end the story wherever they were typing at that moment), I only liked the last two stories, Michele Jaffe's one made me laugh out loud, and the Stephenie Meyer's one was good too. The rest was poor written in my opinion.
Fun Supernatural Prom Stories With Too Many Loose Ends July 14, 2008
Reviewed by Jocelyn Pearcebr /on 07/13/2008br /br /These are not your typical prom nights. Each of the five authors has written a spooky, supernatural story about Prom. Some great authors are included in this collection, and it's certainly worth reading! The stories include a range of supernatural characters, from vampires to demons to fortune-tellers, and one is even based on a work by Edgar Allen Poe. They're all absorbing and interesting.br /br /So much so, in fact, that it would be nice to see more with each story. Though each of the stories was very well-written and included awesome characters, they felt incomplete. I want whole novels, not short stories! Expanding these stories into novels would be great; as they are, though, there are too many loose ends. Perhaps the problem with this book is that I loved it too much!br /br /While it is an enjoyable read, it would be even better to see these short stories expanded on in the future.
prom night April 27, 2008
This book was a real let down. It was boring and the endings were a not very well written.
 Entertaining but not great April 16, 2008
It is what it is, an anthology of short stories. With that being said, I really enjoyed Stephenie Meyer's story "Hell on Earth." It was an interesting concept; angels, highschool deamons, and mischief galore. The only story that I wasn't to fond of was Meg Cabot's "The Exterminator's Daughter." It seemed alittle like Buffy the Vampire slayer, a concept that is slightly overdone. Maybe it's just me but I once read an article about Meg Cabot and how she didn't like the Twilight series, calling them antifeminist. So I'm not sure if her story was kind of meant to mock the Twilight series and Stephenie Meyer? So that was alittle awkward to read. br /The other stories were good quick reads. This is a book you should borrow and read, then just pass it along.br /br /On a side note: right now I'm reading the "Uglies" series and so far it's been great. Definitely give those books a try.
