Analysis: Eyes Of A Stalker

Essay

Did you know that 7.5 million people in the United States get stalked every year and 258,115 people get kidnapped? If you take the time to think about it, that’s a lot of people. Some people might not care or think that’s it’s not a big deal, but for Shelby it was. She is one of those people. Eyes of a stalker is a great book because each chapter leaves you wanting to read more, the mystery and suspense gradually grows throughout the book and it’s full of action and excitement.
Eyes of a Stalker is full of chapters that always leave you wanting to read more. I remember in one of the chapters Shelby got the phone call from the Stalker saying that she was warned to break up with her boyfriend Greg or something very bad would happen to

him. In the chapter Shelby asked to speak to Greg privately and when they were talking Shelby told Greg that she has been wanting to break up with him for a while. Greg was shocked when he received then news. He didn’t say much and then he just left the room. After that I wanted to continue reading to see what was going to happen next but I had to wait a while until I got to read the next chapter. Another reason why you should read this book is because the chapters are never boring and you’re always on the edge of your seat waiting to see what is going to happen next. An example of this is when Shelby broke up with Greg. I was anxious to know what was going to happen next and if people would find out about them or if they told or were going to tell anyone.
Throughout the book, the mystery and suspense grows intensely. At one point during the book, Shelby receives flowers and a note from an unknown person. At first Shelby thought it was Greg but soon realized it wasn’t when she called him to say thanks. Another example of this is when Greg’s locker gets booby-trapped and shards of glass hurtle towards him. Shelby hears the screams in the halls and ran to go see what was going on. The sight she saw was not very pretty. One more thing that shows mystery and suspense is when Shelby receives emails and phone calls from the stalker which are sometimes threatening. One of them states that if Shelby didn’t break up with Greg that something very bad would happen to him. Shelby receives a phone calling saying that he tried to warn her to break up with Greg, but she didn’t and that is why she found Greg hurt in the hallway and that the stalker booby-trapped his locker.
In this book you will also find chapters full of action and excitement.

In one of the chapters, Shelby is walking home from a party and Jason Puckett came running up to her and was trying to walk her home. When they were walking, Shelby caught a familiar scent that was on her cat Ernie earlier in the book. That’s when Shelby realized that the stalker was Jason Puckett and he was walking right beside her. Another exciting event that happened was when Shelby tried to make a run for it when Jason was walking with her. She made it a little bit up the street but was soon knocked to the ground because Jason caught up and jumped at her feet. After that he tied her up and locked her in a shed. Near the end of the book, Shelby was smart enough to use the batteries from the Walkman and put them in the mini alarm her dad gave her. When she was under the floor boards, Shelby heard some kids coming so she turned on the alarm hoping that they would hear it and save her. The kids heard the alarm because they ran off to go and get help. There was soon a loud crash of the door being knocked to the ground. Shelby started to kick the floor boards so that they would know that she was under the floor. Some shuffling was happening above her as the table was being moved out of the way and the floor board was lifted up. The police officer reached down and helped Shelby out from under the floor board. They drove Shelby home and her family was so excited to see her. When she was inside, to her surprise, Greg was standing there relived that Shelby was ok. Her and Greg made up, said their apologies and got back

together.
If you’re looking for a book for a great book full of exciting and entertaining chapters, Eyes of a Stalker is the book for you. Action and excitement. Mystery and suspense. Amazing chapters leaving you wanting to read more. That’s all this book is full of. Personally, I'm not the biggest fan of books and I don’t really like reading, but this book, I loved it. Every time the chapter was done, I wanted to continue reading. So take my advice and read this book because if I of all people loved it, you will too.
