This book doesn't have the most unexpected twist; regardless, I enjoyed it greatly for the creepy atmosphere and the blood-chilling realisation at the end. I could be 26 years of age, but I can always temporarily return back to when I was 13 by reading Goosebumps

This one’s a little more out there than the others I’ve read so far

This is one I wasn’t as keen on. Especially with the way the main character treats the family cat (whose name is Bonkers, for those wondering). I’m not going to talk about the Goosebumps reads much. There’s not a lot to say, and it would take up too much space when I do read them.

This is more of an overall review of the series, really. When I was a kid, I used to devour these books, but sadly I'd recently somehow managed to forget all about them. I was reminded, however, when I rediscovered this awesome blog: http://www.bloggerbeware.com. These books are a mixture of varying degrees of terrible and amazing - at the same time. I honestly find it really hard to rate them, seeing as they're such a major part of my reading foundation. 11 year-old me would probably have given all of them 5 stars, but alas, I'm no longer 11 years old. In acknowledgement of my young self and the wonderful kitschiness of the series, I've decided on 4 stars. Also, they vary a lot in quality, but seeing as it's been so long since I've read them, I don't remember which ones were best. 4 stars it is.
