 Pleasantly surprised by how much better each Night of The Living Dummy book keeps on getting. Sure, it's essentially the same formulaic structure, but Slappy is such a fun villain you don't really mind at this point. The characters by far are the highlight of this book, Trina and Dan are one of the few Goosebumps siblings that actually get along who love and support each other. Their cousin Zane is another great addition to the mix. And of course, the other dummies. While not as prominent as Slappy, they also have their own purpose to serve. A great end to a great trilogy.
