R.L. Stine Books

This book was good ! It was one book which was full of tension.

This could be one of R. L. Stine's most terrifying tales being that it has no supernatural elements and the evil within is purely from humans thereby making it very realistic. I say could have been and not is, because the story is very predictable. At the end of every chapter, which are only a couple of pages at most, something happens in the form of a cliff hanger, then the very first sentence of the next there's a twist and its not what the former chapter implied. This is a good thing for any story but only when it's done in moderation. The fact that every chapter you are reading has a twist has the reader knowing the next one will have one as well. The twists are pretty easy to work out when you are on the look out for them thereby eliminating the point of the twists, surprising the reader.

It's a good basic tale, not completely original mind you but a good tale to give anyone to read in their tent if they're going camping or on a hiking trip. For those who are new to reading at this level, the twists may well be surprising but anyone who has been reading for a while whether at this level or not will probably not be too satisfied.

If you have no idea what Camp Out is about it's the tale of three high school girls who plan a hiking and rockclimbing trip alone to get over failed relationships. The story is told through the eyes of one of the girls, Maria who is the reluctant one of the three to rough it in the great outdoors. They refuse an offer by three boys their age and a bit older to join them and set out alone. Soon their lives are threatened over and over again. They soon run into the boys which brings comfort for them all. If they think the threats to their lives are over, they are dead wrong!

If you don't mind predictability then you will really enjoy this book. If not you'll still enjoy it, but not to any great extent.

This book revolves around three freinds who go for camping and are doubtful about if they are ever going to be able to return home. Thanks to the three guys they met on their way . the 'will' part was too short and the book would have been much better if it was just a little bit more romantic in the biggening.however the book does remind you about'the river wild'.i wonder if the movie was what had inspired r.l.stine to write the book. not exactly one of the top ten fear streets.

Three girls, who are best friends, are going camping. It is supposed to be an "all-girls camping trip" with no guys. But on the trip they meet guys who want to hang out with them; will they be able to turn them down?

On the camping trip, scary and dangerous things happen, but I will not tell you what happens so that I don't ruin the book for you. Will the girls pull through, or will they be victims?

There were too many boring "adventures" for me in this book. I don't care about rock climbing or white-water rafting. I didn't see a real deep plot, even taking into consideration that this is a teen book. I wouldn't have liked it any better if I had of read it as a teen, because I've never liked boring adventures.

My favorite R.L. Stine books are "Hit and Run", "The Rich Girl", and my very favorite, "The Babysitter" (I-IV).

This book is supposed to be a mysterious thriller. I didn't like this book because it said it was a thriller, but it wasn't. It is exciting because of the killing, but it was too far-fetched and it would never happen. The book seemed like it had no plot to it at all. I liked the language in this book, but the grammar in the dialogue was really bad. The characteers didn't fit in with the book. That is why I thought it was dumb.

I didn't like this book. If you love boring books, this is for you. I think that this is the worst book I have read from R.L. Stine.

i just want to ask how can i read a story online .

I was disapointted of what the other people wrote about this book. That was before I read it. I already heard this gyrl say that it was good and she's a R.L.Stine #1 fan like me. She said she had it so i asked her can I read it. It was really good. It's about these friends that started a fire by mistake. But then they startedto play it just to get out of school. Then terror starts and now they want to end the game but somebody else is playing for keeps. This is a greatbook. I recommend this bookhighly. Don't ever judge a book by it's cover and what people say.

This was one of the first Fear Street books I've ever read and it was great. I recomend this book to EVERYONE!

One of the best Fear Street books EVER!!!!!!!!!Rellay Scary AND EXCITING!!!!I don't see why everyone Hates This book so MUCH!!!!!!!I LOVED it!!!!!!I was HOOKED by page 1!!!Really Excellent book and defintely a Pageturrner!!!!!!!Highly recomended!!!!!

These audio books help children that are having trouble with the written word. I also use them in the car, so each trip we hear more of the story. The kids love them and I think it makes them interested in reading.

A book about a boy named Steve. Steve wants to get revenge on his first grade soccor team so steve asks Carly Beth (who scared him last halloween with a really scary mask) where she got such a scary mask so at first she wouldn't tell him so he forced it out of her. Later that night he left a sign on the window said that it was out of business so he went into an alley and saw the basement door open so he went into it and found a really creepy mask and ran out as fast as he could on Halloween he couldn't get it off so at the end of Halloween he finally got it off.

This book was realy good, it starts Off with Steve who Is coaching the first grade soccer team. Well they make him realy mad and he wants to get back at them for what they did. So he goes to his enemy Who is carly beth and asks her where she got her mask. When She tells him he goes and gets one but when he put it on he realizes its not just a mask But a creature. He cant get it off so he goes to carly beth she sais you should think of a happy thought so he does. Nothing happens so he goes to where he got it and found bodys that match and found the one that matched. Then his mask jumped onto the body.

This book was disappointing. I would rank the book a 2 out of 5. The story is about kids playing jokes on each other. The jokes would be to scare each other. The main person in the story is Steve. Steve coaches the first grade soccer team for Walnut Avenue Middle School. He was trying to scare his friends. I did not find this book to be scary. Younger students in 5-8th grade might find it more interesting.

I read the Haunted Mask. The book had a pretty well written plot. I think that this book is very suitable for younger readers such as 3rd and 4th grade children. I myself am in 8th grade and sort of found the book easy, and not very challenging to read. Some other pretty good characteristics of the book are. Good description of what is taking place etc. Great action, makes you feel as if you are the character that is in the book. Last but not least the book has very good attention getting devices. That is all for my book review.

Sincerely, Brett Heringhaus

Like all the other books by R.L Stine Door of Death is a horror. Horrofyingly terrific, that is. The story is set over a hundred years ago. It has everything. Horror, mystery, love, deception and few pranks!!!!It is a great book and I recomend it to teens!

Okay, first off, this is not written by RL Stine. That has already been stated. It was written by Eric Weiner (Deadly Detention), and I knew what to expect knowing this. This book is very fast paced, and gory. OH SO GORY! People are stabbed, burned, chopped up, eyes are popped out, hearts are ripped out, and heads a squished. This book is GORY! And I loved it. It felt a lot like one of the older Fear Street books when they still took some risks. Even then, it is a tad more then that. Now, is this book good for 11 to 12 year olds? No, but I would expect them to still be reading Goosebumps. This is more like a 15 to 18 age range book. I mean, other than the violence there is nothing. No swearing, no sex, no nothing. Plus, although the book is gory, it isn't perverse, and really, other than maybe one or two lines a death, doesn't get all that bad. Over all, a fun book, not an amazing read, but a fun one. I would expect nothing less from a Fear Street book.

Door of Death was a most heart pounding and excrutiating book to read and was probably not intendended for the squemish due to the description of much gore and blood. If your into lots of gut and blood than this is a book for you. The main plot is about a dead stalker who has come back to kill every decendant of the wife you poisened and killed him. Now he is out to finish the job.

I've got to know what the people who work for the publisher of this book were thinking when it was approved for publication. I found this book in the young adult section, which is generally considered to be for kids 11 or 12 years old and up. Yet I was astounded by the level of violence in this book. Were it a movie instead of a book, this content would certainly have been given an R rating. There are numerous extremely graphic deaths in this book that are innapropriate in a book aimed at anyone younger than older teens. The author, editors, and publishing company were extremely irresponsible in issuing a book aimed at 11 and 12 year olds yet featuring extremely graphic violence. I would not reccomend this book to anyone and I would advise parents to think twice before buying this book. It's far too graphic for the target audience, but high schoolers would find it too simple and boring. I really can't think of any suitable audience for this book.

I actually like some of R. L. Stine's books. But then again, this book wasn't even written by him. It was written by a ghostwriter named Eric Weiner. Now, I don't know much about Eric Weiner, but I know he has a sick mind! This book has some of the most disgusting ways for a person to be killed in it. And it's a CHILDREN's book! Now, I don't consider myself particuarly squeemish, but after reading this book, even I felt ill.

Although I'm young, I'm a long-time Goosebumps fan. I didn't like this one as much as the other Goosebumps TV books because the ending disappointed me. It also wasn't quite as scary as the other books. Overall it was OK but not the best of the TV Goosebump books.

this book called goosebumps my hairest adventure is an interesting book.it is an interesting book because it is scary and it make you want to keep on reading more and more of it.the setting of the story is outside in the snow where some strange dogs are at,and the story is about a kid name larry boyd,he had found an old bottle of insta-tan in the trash.so larry and his friends rub the ista-tan all over their body,but after they rubbed it all over their body they found out the label and the label was expired.then a few days later larry notice dark spikey hair was growing on his hands and face and everytime he cuts it off it keeps growing back again.

When Larry and his friends found an old bottle of INSTANT TAN, they rubbed it. One day, they notice black hair growing... growing.... growing!

Larry is a kid who has a band, and his friends call him "Hairy Larry". One day he finds a bottle of tanning lotion that is supposed to give the person who weres it a tan. The next day that not only does the lotion not work, but he also finds out that he is growing gross black hair! If you want to find out the rest, read it yourself.

"My Hairiest Adventure" is about Larry who used a bottle of tanning lotion on his hands and hair starts to grow. One of his friends disappears, then he sees a dog with eyes that are 2 different colors, just like his missing friends. When he finally tells his parents, they explain that they couldn't have children, like many of the other people in the community, so their doctor developed a potion that he injected into dogs to turn them into kids. Now, Larry's immune system is fighting the potion and he is going to turn back into a dog, like his friends.

I was addicted to these 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 and they were short (usually between 110-130 pages). I could read the whole thing in a day.

My parents also didn't have a lot of heartache with buying me a new book because these 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 a little 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).

In the carnival of horrors you will meet a person called bigAl
then he will tell you to try one of the rides but WATCH OUT!

Very hard to follow and not very interesting. You can't even tell what is going on. I gave it two stars because the plot was a good idea. The rest of the book is -------{} a pie in the face. I reccomend you stay away from this book.

Words that describe this book: horrible, predictable, pathetic, dumb. R.L. Stine's "books" are really predictable and "Escape from the Carnival of Horrors" won't even scare a 5-year-old. Avoid this book at all costs.

this book was the one i read first from the give yourself goosebumps series - and i loved it!!
In ordinary books you can follow the plot by simply turning over the pages - but in this book you decide by yourself how the plot developes. If you make wrong decision you'll get into trouble.
you and your friends visit a carnival full of games and rides, when you suddenly recognize that it's doomed: you have to get out until midnight or you'll be trapped there 4ever!! Your first task is to decide whether you play games (if you win 3 games and an ultimate challenge against the cranival manager you'll get free) or to try to escape by using the rides.
it makes pretty much fun to read the different ways to go. and i cant understand anyone saying that this book is commercial...???!!! the story gets never boring, on none of the 140 pages. there are 2 older goosebumps books mentioned in this book, but who cares, it doesn't disturb the excellent story.
if you like goosebumps and give yourself goosebumps i really recommend this book to you. it isn't scary in deed, but that doesnt matter - it's pretty exciting and very funny to read!!

I read this book when it first came out a few years ago. I really liked it and it freaked me out then. Someone said it stunk cuz he was advertising for his own books. I thought it was pretty funny, and i think it was just a joke. Some people take things WAYY too seriously!!

To tell the truth I didn't finish this book. Mainly for two reasons. 1.I lost it, and 2.Because it's boring and whenever you pick the wrong choice you have to go back to the last page and use the other option. But now I'm going to buy it because it was not my book it was the librarie's!!! So in conclusion this book is only good if you like flipping to far away pages all day long!

I gave this book two stars beacause it wasn't so scary like it said on the cover.It starts when you and your friends are at your house and they dare you to go bat wing hall because you are a new kid.When you enter bat wing hall you get trapped inside.I reccomend this book to you if you like spooky stories.

This book was really cool because you get to pick your own ending and you can keep reading other stories in the book, reading different stories even when you're reading the same pages. This is not like other books that you can only read over with one story. I think it's cool when Greg got three hairs from the warewolf. There are still more stories in the book I haven't read. Maybe I will get it from the library and finish all the versions

I think that this book is fun and great because you get to make the choices! You get to choose the endings. And in my opinion that's fun it also makes you think! And , i read this with my mom , and she agreed that this book was fun and great. I mean, if you read this book , you will be cursed! I'm kidding , but do read it! It is ''perfectly obstrondosis''[ob-stron-do-sis] or ''wonderfully made''. And , if you compare this with Stay out of the basement , this will be the best!Read it for yourself!

This book is very good but got a little carried away. The thought of getting butted of a cliff and getting torn apart by zombies is just plain creepy. There were cool parts and funny parts. If this was a movie I bet it would at least be rated PG or PG-13.

This is an alright book because it's easy to read. This book was for SSR in my english class. Its about a girl that goes to camp and when she goes hiking stuff start to happen to her. It was boring because I knew what was going to happen.

R.L. Stine is a great author and he's one of my favorites.I love Goosebump books.Especially the choose-your-own-adventure ones because you can never expect what will happen next.In book number 19, Escape from Camp Run-For-Your-Life, you are going to a sports camp. The camp that you are going to is called Camp Pendleton.But then you see a sign up ahead that says CAMP RUNNING LEAF.But people call it CAMP RUN-FOR-YOUR-LIFE.You wonder why they would call it that way. Then... when you get there you notice that the camp coaches work as slave drivers.The campers are robots.And the food is just sick.
There are two activities that you will have to choose from.One is the Selection, and the other is that you can look for bones in the Zombie Cave.
If you choose the Selection, you get to do an obstacle course. But why is the water sqirming?
If you choose to look for bones in the Zombie Cave you get a chance to win a medal.Or you can be one of the zombies.

This 137 page book is great for anyone who thinks their brave enough. You get to choose from over 20 unique conclusions both good and bad.So whay are you waiting for, go pick up a copy of this book now. I know that you will like this book, here are some other books that you can choose from: #5 Night in Werewolf Woods, #14 The Creepy Creations of Professor Shock,and #17 Little Comic Shops of Horrors. Thank You Very Much For Your Time.

Full Moon Fever is one of the very last Goosebumps books. Based closely on Stine's earlier short story "Pumpkin Juice", the story involves two kids, Robbie and Alesha, who apparently succumb to "Full Moon Fever" - a titular illness which turns you into a half-human, half-monster when you see the Full Moon on Halloween. Robbie and Alesha enlist the help of their Grandpa John and travel to Canada in search of a cure.

Transformation stories are old hat, for sci-fi/fantasy in general and for Goosebumps in particular. But the problem here is that the transformations occur less than 40 pages into the book. Previous Goosebumps transformations either occurred gradually (My Hairiest Adventure, Chicken Chicken) or at least far along into the story (The Barking Ghost, The Haunted Mask), allowing the characters to be established. By transforming them so early, there is no build-up of terror or suspense, and the characters are barely sketched in before they turn into vicious beasts. Needless to say, they don't develop as characters afterwards, making it hard to care about them.

We are however treated to lengthy, descriptive and repetitive scenes of Robbie and Alesha succumbing to their monstrous hunger and eating a variety of critters (squirrels, worms, goldfish, and roadkill), or losing their tempers and going on angry rampages. These scenes work well enough early on, as we get a sense of the two leads struggling to adapt to their new bodies, but they quickly become old hat. Needless to say, there's a lovely twist at the end which resolves the story, but not exactly in a happy way.

Whether this book was Stine or one of his ghost-writers, Full Moon Fever is a reasonably well-written book, but by making the transformation take place so quickly, it loses most of its tension and horror. 2.5/5 (rounded up to 3 for fairness)

This is probably the second worst Goosebumps book I have ever read. R.L.Stine seemed really bored and rushed with this one. The concept is ridiculous. It's not even a werewolf thing. You turn into a half-human, half-beast if you look at the full moon. What??? The characters seem like 8 year olds in the beginning, and there is no plot to this story. The whole book is pointless, and it has no direction. In fact, it goes through a whole month in a matter of three or four pages. The ending is just absurd and awful. I have to give this book a D-. This story was just awful and ridiculous. Very very [bad], especially since it wasn't even a werewolf story. Please do not read this book.

IT's acttuly a book with a endding:They thought it was a cure bar but it was a curse bar

"Hey, Alesha here. I love those candy bars I ate today. They are totally yummy. And today is going so perfect, because there is even a full moon!! Wow, it's really beautiful- Ow. What just happened.... I feel...weird. Wait, what's that? Hair?? I don't have hair on my arms! Wait! I-It's growning! HELP!"

I Liked this book!. Robbie and Alesha love scary stories and it is Halloween and they went to trick or treating. When one neighbor gives them a candy bar, they ate it. At full moon, Hairs started to grow on Robbie and Alesha. Now they have found out the bar that they ate was a curse bar. But how can they make themselves back in normal again?.

Stine must have lost his memory when writing this confusing, awkward and highly implausible less-than-thrilling alien tale. Jacob Miller wakes up with amnesia in an unfamiliar environment where kids eat through their armpits and write in a different language. This story is backwards, uninteresting, and ultimately disappointing. The "Slappers" are gross and creatively scary, but not enough to save this weak and predictable excuse for a sci-fi psychological thriller.

I am 22 yaers old but still love these goosebump books. This one was good. It had a suprize ending as usal. It will make you want o keep reading. It nopt my fave gb book but one of better ones.

R.L.Stine outdoes himself in this one about people who are sent to another planet but have lost their memories. Stuff like eating out of your armpits, reading with your tongues, etc. One of the best.

In this great Goosebumps Series 2000 book, R.L. Stine takes a Sci-fi approach to this story. A family moves into a house in a new town and strange things start happening to them, they do not recognize the language, the math, or even the way the people eat the food! Prepare to be thrilled and chilled with this magnificent R.L. Stine masterpiece. Happy Reading!

Dear Readers,

Earth Geeks Must Go is a super-gross book. Some gross things are people eating from their armpits. Bugs that can talk to people.It has people who can take their heads off. It also has people who go from one wierd planet to another.READ THIS BOOK.
