R.L. Stine Books

My teacher has this book and i sometimes read it. It is a little bit boring because the stories are too short. Give yourself goosebumps is one of my favorite series, but this is not one of my favorite books. Still a good book!

I liked this book alot expecially when you get to pick a lucky number!

Kinda hard than the other give-yourself-goosebumps books. A great book but I still don't know the ending because IM not finished yet.

I liked this book alot expecially when you get to pick a lucky number!

It's the weekend, and your family's vacaioning at an awesome lake. Rumor has it this lake is filled with poison!

When I first checked this book out from the library I thought it would be great because it sounded exciting but it was very boring. I was expecting it to be a whole lot scarier. This book is about a group of kids who don't like this girl named courtney because she's a showoff and she thinks shes all that.Throughout the book the kids come up with ways to try to scare courtney. This book would have been a lot scarier if they talked about the mud monsters more and had more scary things happen. When the book actually reached the scary part it didn't last real long.This book was dissapointing and not the best book in the series.

I always felt this book wasn't that great. From the cover you expect the story to focus on those cool mud monsters, but they only appear in the last few chapters. In the meantime there's just a lot of silly antics as the kids come up with various scare tactics that all fail.

Maybe if they'd drawn a different cover I'd like this story more, but I just found most of the book wasted while I waited for the mud monsters to appear.

This book was very exciting. My favorite character was Hat. He was very funny. I also thought that Courtney's dad was funny. It was a GREAT book!

I wonder why Hat is afrade of every thing. Charlene isint afrade of eniey thing she thinkes nothing can char her.Edie and his friends try and try but nothing can seem to scare her.The have tryd to scare her with a ruber snake and a taranchala and they have faild.You will half to read the book to findout what happens next.I rilly liket it I hope you do to.

I was addicted to thses books when i was younger and it wasn't until i was majoring in education in college that i figured out why. They were interesting with bizarre plot twists that most 9-12 year olds don't think about they were short [usually between 110-130 pages]. I could read the whole thing in a day.

My parents didn't also have a lot of heartache with buying me a new book because they are relatively inexpensive [in the neighborhood of 3-5 bucks each].

R.L. Stine's Goosebumps books aren't scary, just kind of creepy. There aren't graphic descriptions of murder and mayhem. Just some ghosts. werewolves, or potions. The main character is alive in the end, and the final chapter resolves everything.

**Keep in mind, R.L. Stine has other books that aren't in the Goosebumps series that tend to be harsher when it comes to hauntings and plot. They are written more for the 12-14 age group and are longer [around 150-200 pages].**

This is one of the best Fear Street Sagas I have read. The book was full of twists and plots.

You have to admit the plot was kind of boring

This book was really good

This book definitley had a formula, but it worked. The ending was somewhat predictable, but I really liked the main character and the story did scare me. It was a bit weaker than some of the others, but it was enjoyable, and I guess that's what matters.

It is 1867 and Elizabeth Nelson is working in a textile mill, separated from her twin brother Thomas. Her brother's ambition to be an artist has led him to seek employment with Peter Gustavson, a talented sculptor who builds strangely lifelike wax models. After a nightmare that convinces her that something terrible has happened to Thomas, Elizabeth and her friend Margaret journey to Cliff House, the home of the sculptor. The moment she arrives, she knows that something is wrong. The house is full of gruesome sculptures of death and terror and Thomas is nowhere to be seen. Soon Margaret is ill and Elizabeth begins to uncover the terrible secret of Cliff House. Determined to uncover the truth about her brother, she soon realises that to do this may result in her suffering Thomas's fate....

"Faces of Terror" is the thirteenth book in R.L.Stine's "Fear Street Sagas". The action was fast paced and actually scary in some parts, even if the plot was fairly typical and sometimes there wasn't enough explanation given. I would recommend it to fans of the series and of the author's other works. This wasn't the best of The Fear Street Sagas, but it was still pretty good. If you enjoyed "Faces of Terror", I would also suggest the Blair Witch Casefiles series, which are great for any teens who like to be scared.

This book could have been better but it was kinda scarey.

This is the best book i've read among all R.L. Stine's Ghost of fear street. I think that it's quite funny, but sometimes scary too.

In this first installment of the Mostly Ghostly we are introduced to Max, an 11 year old boy who has got some issues! He thinks his house his haunted (which it is, but no one is his family believes him); he's got an overbearing, bully of a brother; a father whose only interested in how macho his son's are and cares nothing at all that Max is smart, Aaron his best friend who takes laziness to unheard of heights; and a mom who isn't much of a character at all, other than being a foil for the dad. Max seems to live perpetually under the threat of being sent off to military school if he doesn't start acting in the way his father thinks is appropriate...meaning he should be into sports and spend less time on school work and all that thinking.

Poor Max...he's in for a whole lot of trouble when Nicky and Tara show up because only Max can see these two ghosts and they are a bit confused themselves. They don't know how they died, they keep disappearing, there is a REALLY mean and violent ghost trying to capture them...and this ghost makes Max's life hell in the process. This first book in the Mostly Ghostly series sets up, what appears to be a rather long and involved mystery...where are Nicky and Tara's parents, how did they die and what's the deal with Phears? I suspect it will be many, many volumes before we find out. Mostly Ghostly is ok, but not great. The characters are all stereotypical and lackluster, Max is not all that bright and I just didn't enjoy this as much as I thought I would. I mean who are we kidding, this story is told in the extreme...Max is SO ostracized by the other kids...he's SO picked upon (quite violently and in front of his parents, who can usually only manage a lame...oh, stop it) by his jock brother, and SO picked upon further by his jock father...because it's apparently more important to be manly and into sports than it is to have a brain and, oh...get good grades, and his mom...ug, what a dishwater character...constantly gushing Maxie this and that...YUCK!

What gets me is that Max is kinda whiney and in the end, isn't even all that honorable of a character. What exactly are we supposed to be picking up here...this isn't like the Nightmare Room series where each book is a stand alone story. In the Mostly Ghostly series, each book ends with a "To be Continued" and builds from the one before it, so it's not like the author HAD to make the point so bluntly and in an in your face way...he has plenty of time to build characters from the ground up...but he doesn't. He just stacks the deck with stereotypical icons and rushes on with the story. I'll read a few more to see if I want to continue the series. Girl seemed to like this more than me...but then it plays right into kids belief that their parents are mean and nasty and that no one understands them...not really the best message to be sending out for a very long series of books....here's hoping!

Max is an 11-year-old boy who is haunted by two ghosts named Nicky and Tara. Nicky and Tara need to find their parents and they want Max to help them. Like Max has enough problems already. His father wants him to go to a boarding school so he'll be more like his older brother Colin, and Max's school crush Traci thinks he's weird. And if that isn't enough, there is an evil ghoul named Phears who wants Nicky and Tara. When Max decides to help, he must go through challenges that, in my opinion, make him a braver person. It also makes him look cool around the kids at school.

I really liked this story. Although I read the second book of this series first ("Have You Met My Ghoulfriend?"), I was able to understand what was going on. I laughed out loud and shivered with fright throughout reading this. I can't wait to start reading the third book.

R.L. Stine writes REALLY GOOD, CREEPY, SPINE-TINGLING stories, but this story was just kinda, well, not even scary a bit. The main thing about this book was a comedy book with certain points to laugh at.
It's about a boy named Max Doyle, who is haunted by 2 ghost kids who died. Now Max has to find out a way to save them from an evil ghost named PHEARS. Now Max has also has to save his self.

Good Things:

1. Good Beginning, makes you intrested
2. Good characters, there's the geeky kid, Max Doyle, the two rich kids, Nicky and Tara, and the popular girl, Traci.
3. The perspectives of each characters

Bad Things:
1. The ghost, there's not even scary. There's goofy
2. Max Doyles magic stinks

This book is good to read. Read it, and you might enjoy.

Max Doyle hated his life. He didn't have any normal friends, he's teased by the other kids, his big brother is a jerk, and his father wants to send him away to a boarding school where the students are tortured. Just when Max thought things couldn't get any worse, they do. Max is visited by two ghosts--about his age--named Nicky and Tara. They claim to have previously lived in his house, and they'll do anything to find out how they died and where their parents are.

Max tries to ignore the two ghosts--he doesn't want to get involved. But it's impossible to ignore them when they try to help the cute girl at school notice Max. Unfortunately, they end up embarrasing him. But no matter how hard Max wants to get rid of them, he knows that he must help them destroy the evil ghost Phears. Phears knows all the secrets. Now, it's up to Max to destroy Phears and find out the truth!

WHO LET THE GHOSTS OUT? seemed like a pretty weird book. But I picked it up since I'm a fan of R.L. Stine. As I started reading, I excepted everything to be all silly and childish. Boy, was I wrong. This novel is fantastic! It has horror, humor, and even a little romance. I will be looking forward to reading more books in the Mostly Ghostly series, and I recommend that fans of dark comedies do so, too.

When Max sees ghosts and the ghosts says he is the only one who can help them fight the most gruesome creature in the ghost world called Phears. Will Max ever get rid of the ghosts?

you want to read a book, read a good one instead of this goosebumps choose your scare crap

I like Zoe and the other rats in this book!

Rats! You don't need a baby sitter from Kids Care. But this baby sitter is not ordinary! you get to choose two choices it could be Fun or Games. But don't eat the Swiss Cheese or else....

The only reason Ms. This Is Not Real Reading, you only said that because you could not beat it. If you did, you would give it five stars. (And plus you couldn'd beat the book is because your a big nerd!)

When I read this book, it started good to me in the beginning. But it started going downhill. This is the worst Fear Street Sagas I read.

Chamber of Fear had many plot twists and was very exiciting

great plot. plotwise probably the best but overall only one of the best. I like the Id ea of a chamber.... a deadly chamber........

in which no one has returned

The book was really good. I really enjoyed it. I started it and didn't put it down until I was done.

A very good book - a possesed car

This is the third and final chronical of the Cataluna series. William Parker is still hunting after Bad Moon Catherine. His chase takes place in Shadyside inside of a girl's body. This girl happens to be Marisol, the curious neighbor of Buddy, who can't wait to take a ride in the Doom Car. Buddy's brother Stan died in this car and Buddy is dying to drive the car and race Will, the new stranger who's winning over Sara, his girlgriend. Will Buddy make it out alive, or will he die in the Doom Car just like his brother? Will Willam Parker finally defeat Catherine? Or will she beat him?

This book was the best of the three! part 1 and 2 were good but part 3 was the best of the lot because it got straight to the point instead of keeping you in suspense all the time having to wait for the next part to come out.I liked it how Catherine and william had a face to face fight leaving one person standing.

I hated this book so much that I couldn't even finish it. I got tired of reading about the main male character and how he thought he was all bad just because he had a cool car. What a loser. It got even worse with the continuation of the tale of Bad Luck Catherine. I think R.L. Stine's mixing of the two time periods like that just killed the whole thing.

This Book Seemed so unlifelike to me but As The story comes to page 115 it gets much more lifelike but who would give twenty thousand dollars to a waiter?

R.L. Stine hasn't written a mummy story in quite a while.This is a terrific come-back!

The only problem is, I've read this book over so many times and I STILL haven't got the right ending!!! The thing I love about these books so much is that you get to read them over and over and over!!! They fun, but sometimes frustrating!!! Esp. this one...But it was good and pretty challanging and some pretty funky endings!!!*enjoy*!!!

God Bless ~Amy

It was great. I like it's plot and how you choose what scares will make you scream!!! (Plus the athor is GREAT!)

I am almost 16 and I enjoyed this book. It was kinda creepy with all the insects in it. I really enjoyed the book and I feel that it is one good book for children ages 9- 12.

It gives you alot to tink about as thy goes from chapter to chapter.It always makes you feel really interested well it makes me feel like that anyway.One of my favourite bits is when Buffy gets cursed and when she goes in the swimming pool and finds her worst nightmares jellyfish inside.Iwould give this book a good 5 star for brilliant ideas.I know the other rewiew people think it's crap but I personaly don't tink so, they just don't know how to write reviews which gets me angry.I am very surprised R.L.STINE didn't make this book into a Goosebumps book.I used to tink dat Roald Dahl was my favourite but R.L.STINE has taken over, his stories are brilliant and I really enjoy them I mean some of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a sorry excuse for a scary boo
