Fog is, simply put, a classic tale of good versus evil and the only word to describe it is CREEPY. Originally written in 1989 as the first of a trilogy aimed at a YA audience and re-released this year by Open Road Media, Fog has most of the ingredients of the best slasher films like Scream and Halloween but without the sex and gore. Although, there are a few things which date the novel (eg VCRs), still it is guaranteed to send more than a few chills up your spine.

As much as I love Caroline B. Cooney and her suspenseful stories, I had a hard time getting through Fog. It was just too unbelievable. The adults seemed purposefully obtuse, though really they were too easily manipulated by the principal and his wife. It was like every scene in the story was about someone picking on Christina and Christina had an annoying habit of fighting against everything and anything. I loved the Janie series and knew immediately that I would read every book in the series. This one on the other hand isn't for me so I'll probably pass unless the need to know what happens next compels me to continue.

Sorry, could not get to reading this book on time - thank you for the opportunity to review!
