Deep Trouble by R.L. Stine

rociovoncina's review against another edition

2.0

Titulo: Peligro en las profundidades
Autor: R.L. Stine
Motivo de lectura: Letras Macabras (Isla Macabra 2023)
Lectura / Relectura: Lectura
Mi edicion: Electronico
Puntuacion: 2/5

Esta es la historia de los hermanos Billy y Sheena, y como estos niños pasan las vaciones con su tio George Deep, mas conocido como "Doctor D." quien es un doctor especializado en el mundo marino.

El terror per se no esta muy presente, siento que Stine explora mas la esencia de la maldad humana, y hasta que punto llegarian en sus actos para tener una criatura simplemente para exponerla en un Zoo.
La trama es un poco repetitiva, y para ser sincera demasiado sencilla, si tuviera que resumir el libro diria que estan

Spoiler

los malos, los niños heroes, una sirena, un tiburon y un zoo.

Este libro me aburrio, una verdadera pena.

This one was actually really god. It didn't feel as much like horror as it did thriller. I loved that it was about saving a mermaid from a life in captivity.

there’s leo tolstoy, there’s charles dickens and then on a whole other level there’s RL stine . his books are exquisitely crafted masterworks of the mystery genre .  i can’t believe he never won the noble prize

Billy and Sheena find themselves in "deep trouble" when they swim to a reef that their uncle told them to avoid.
