Don't Look Behind You
After reading Don't Look Behind You, give me your review of the
story. Out of 5 stars, how many stars would you give it and why? What
elements of suspense did it have?Post by 9pm.
I give it 3 stars because I really didnt think it was scary or that I was surprised by what happened in the story. It was pretty predictable but it was okay. The elements of suspense were mostly in the end when it says to not look behind you and that you wont believe the story until you feel the knife.
OH.MY.GOSH. That story gave me goose bumps. The overall story and plot was really good and the way the author wrote it so it attacked the reader was really cool. I kept looking behind me the whole time and, I swear, at the very end I saw someone out my window! **** (Four stars)
I give it 3 stars, because the story is not interesting or scary. The element of suspense was the ending which is the only creepy part, because the way it is written makes it sound real.
I give this story a 4 out of 5. Over all it was a great story and i was kind of frieked out at some parts. Im mostly thankful that i didnt "get stabbed" when i was done reading it. The elements of suspense were mostly at the end when he was explaining about how he had killed so many people, and how he said that he was watching me from somewhere near.
I would give the story a 3.5 because it was not very scary or suspenceful as I expected. It was only scary at the end of the story.It was a very intreasting how he told the story.
I agree with you when you said it was interesting how the author wrote this story i think this because he used so much detail,for example,when they were torturing him he said "they would cut him with knives" and "held burning matches to the soles of his feet". I was just freaked out and he also made it seem real.
I would give this story 4 out of 5 stars. I give it 4 stars because the way it is written made it a bit confusing, and some sentences went on for a long time as if they were run-on sentences. The element of suspense was not knowing what will happen to him when he was being tortured and at the end when he starts to kill people and says he's watching you.
I give it 4 stars,because of the twist in the end of the story . The elements of suspense was towards the ending when he said "but wherever you're reading it,I'm near you,watching and waiting for you to finish."
I don't know if anyone else will give it 5 stars, but I do. My reason for giving it 5 stars was because of 3 reasons. It had a good plot, the guy seemed crazy towards the end, and also how it aimed towards the reader. If it was in an actual book, and not copied, I would have looked at it to see if it was really put in separate or not. The suspense in it had me continue to read. I find this story very interesting.
I give the story 4 stars because it was pretty suspenseful and easy to understand. It also had the little something that grabs the readers' attention all the way to the end. One of the elements used was symbolism. At the end when Justine says he kills people from the back its a symbolism to the revenge he is taking for being back stabbed.
I give it 4 stars because it was a great story but at some parts it was kind of confusing. The element of suspense at the end was somewhat believable because it showed so much detail. It almost made me believe that someone was watching me.
I give it 4 stars because its wasn't so "suspenseful" but at the end it made you feel a little unsafe. It used the element of suspense at the end when he was saying how he is watching you wherever you are reading it. It was funny how it seemed so easy for him kill people. I like the details it gave when they were torturing him, it was almost like you could feel it.
I give the story 4 stars because i actually think it was a good story because it grabs your attention and makes you want to read more. The elements of suspense were towards the ending because it seemed so real. I actually thought someone was watching me and i was just wating to get stabbed!!
I give it 3 stars because it was confusing in some parts of the story and it really wasn't that suspenseful. It had some suspense but it was mostly at the end of the story. The element of suspense was him saying he was watching you read the story and that he could be anywhere.
i give it a 4 star because it was good an easy to understand. also because at the end the story got crazy. by crazy i mean alot of suspense and i dont know i liked it.....
listen to DUB STEP:) is the best while doing hard home work:)...for me though:)
i would give it 4 stars because the beginning wasn't really intersting but towards the end the suspence started to rise and made the story more interesting. It felt like the guy was really serious about watching you and I acually looked around just to make sure.

I agree with you Maria, it isn't very scary except the ending
