They didn't mean it. They didn't mean to hit the boy. There was a party, and it was an accident...that wasn't who they were. They were pre-law, a football player, bound for New York. No one could know, so Barry, Julie, Helen, and Ray swore one another to secrecy. But now, a year later, someone knows. Julie receives a haunting, anonymous threat: "I know what you did last summer." The dark lie is unearthed, and before the four friends know it they need to outsmart a killer...or they will be the next to die.

 | The note was there Apr 5, 2010 |
| I remember reading A Gift of Magic by Lois Duncan back in the 70s and loving it. So when I saw this reissue of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" I couldn't resist picking it up to see how much I would like another of Ms. Duncan's books. And even though I enjoyed "I Know What You Did Last Summer," the book seemed really dated to me. Not just the 1970s time frame of it, but also the language and Ms. Duncan's formal style of writing. The narrative was stilted and overwritten at times, and the characters didn't always seem quite real to me. And though I did get caught up in the story, I had to keep in mind that it was probably geared to a middle grade rather than a teen audience, since the mystery's solution seemed obvious. And perhaps the crazed Vietnam War veteran was not quite the cliche in 1973 that it is now, but I cringed over it nonetheless. | | | | Plot predictable, Not a good mystery Jan 16, 2010 |
| This book has a great story line, but a weak mystery. This book on few occasions is very engrossing and interesting. However, the mystery was extremely easy to solve and I predicated the ending easily. I was hoping for more of a suspense in this book, but instead got the complete opposite. | | |  | Very pleased!

| I bought this book for my daughter. It came in the condition described and on time. She read it so quickly because she couldn't put it down. | | | | I Know What You Did Last Summer Nov 2, 2009 |

I Know What You Did Last Summer
The title of my book is I Know What You Did Last Summer, by Lois Duncan. The two reasons I chose to read this book were because the book looked interesting and mysterious. It has you saying, "I wonder what happens next." The second reason why I chose to read this book is because I saw the movie and I wanted to compare the book and the movie, and be able to judge whether the book or movie was better.
I Know What You Did Last Summer is about a girl named Julie who is being stalked by an unknown killer. In the beginning of the book, a letter is sitting on Julie's dining room table. When she opens the letter, it says in a bold font, "I Know What You Did Last Summer." At this moment she knows that someone is trying to frighten her .
The book is interesting because it's a horror book .So you know that its going to be good. The book is unique because it's scary and easy to read. In addition, it's realistic. I think that Lois Duncan's purpose for writing this novel was to frighten her readers, especially me. I love scary yet realistic books. Lois Duncan is an awesome writer and I would love to read more books by her.
I would recommend this book to all my friends because they like mystery and horror novels. I rate this book an eight out of ten, because the story was fun to read and the cover was mysterious-looking. I took away two points because at times the writing was fake and awkward. Despite this, I enjoyed reading this book, and I look forward to finding another like this one.
| | | | Now a Movie - But not the Same Aug 9, 2009 |
| I Know What You Did Last Summer is an older story that's been made into a move, but the movie isn't the same as the book. They have entirely different endings, which I found to be a wonderful surprise. And although it was written in 1973, there's a timeless nature to the way that kids react to peer pressure. Lois does a wonderful job of capturing that and their inner turmoil that follows. If you've never read this, then I recommend that you put it on your reading list. It was quite enjoyable and this is one I that I'm going to keep on my bookshelf. | | | Write your own review about I Know What You Did Last Summer
