bahbadook 's review for:

The Cuckoo Clock of Doom by R.L. Stine
3.0

It pains me to give a Goosebumps book less than at minimum 4 stars. But it wasn't particularly terrifying.
I do enjoy the concept of the cuckoo clock. I was going to say something else but then I realized that the thing I was about to say wasn't mentioned on the back of the book.
First thirty or so pages are dedicated to setting up the motivation behind messing with the clock (and I'm not going to lie, I hate the sister and I'm not a fan of the parents either) so I absolutely don't blame him for doing what he did. As a side note, I'm a year older (probably less than) than the sister.
I spent the rest of the book with a mild sense of mildly increasing horror. Until the end. And then it was just satisfaction. The last couple of paragraphs was probably my favorite part of the book.
