I picked up this book worried about what I might be letting myself in for. I saw the film adapation a while back and didn;t think it was all that great. I am pleased to say it was nothing like the book at all and I really enjoyed it.

The book is similiar to the film in that a group of 4 friends are involved in covering up a fatal accident they had been part of a year or so previously. The group have since started to receive mysterious letters and taunting amongst other things as the story progresses which they think are linked to the fact that they covered up the accident.
The story itself is much more pyschological thriller than slasher gory thriller and more me it made the story much more clever than the film could ever claim to be. There were parts of the story where you weren't quite sure what was going on.
The final twist was really good and one I didn't spot coming until it alomst happened. I liked how this book kept you guessing throughout!
All in all an fab book which deserves better recognition than it currently has as it is a far superior version to the film that everyone seems to have read of!

As said in the title... everyone who knows the film will know what this book is about. I didn't realize it was written a while back. It's a good premise/story, though the writing is obviously slightly outdated, despite it having been edited to be made modern.
Format:Paperback
I don't know about you guys, but when I think of I Know What You Did Last Summer I immediately think of (my hero) Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr in one of the best 90s slasher films produced. I think hook man, murder, and thrills and chills. I've never once thought of reading the book, which is a shame as it's actually quite good. Its age always put me off, seeing as it was first published in the 70s; bad I know, and I apologise. I need to read older books - it's a work in progress!
I Know What You Did Last Summer the book is a clever thriller, creepy in parts and not half as gory as the film of the same name. In fact, the two share very little in the way of similarities, aside from a general plotline and character names. I was actually really surprised by how different the book is, though I did enjoy it. It wasn't quite as scary as I thought it would be and I wasn't on tenterhooks while reading, though I did get a strong feeling of unease as Julie and Co. unraveled the sinister mystery.
This edition has been revised for a modern audience but, if I'm honest, that's not the impression I got. It still seemed quite old-fashioned, even though references to cell phones and scanners had been dropped into the text. For me they seemed out of place, but I can see why readers of 2011 will benefit from a more modern take on technology. It made the whole thing more believable somehow, which added to the all important realism factor.
I'd be interested in reading Lois Duncan's other books that are getting a re-release this month, as YA thrillers seem to be getting more attention these days. They're a refreshing departure from paranormal romance and dystopian futures, and I hope we'll see a lot more over the next couple of years. There's nothing like scaring yourself silly while you're reading in the house on your own. Oh, wait...

Being a massive lover of horror films, I was quite excited to read this book. I don't read a lot of horror books or books that have been made into films in general, just because of... Read more
