A review by horrorgardener
The Babysitter by R.L. Stine

3.0

A 41 year old man has no business reading a book aimed at 13 year old girls but life leads you down strange paths sometimes. This was my first Point horror novel and only my second RL Stine and it was a lot of fun. It really captured that chaotic seriousness that was high school dating to a tee. To empathize with Jenny for a moment, Chuck antics sure were annoying! Why couldn't he just be clear about liking her and not always trying to be funny! Darn you Chuck! I'll be passing this one on to my niece if she is interested! Had some creepy moments with a stalker outside the home that could have been easily solved with one phone call or visit to Jenny's house on any day of the week! Easy summer reading fun.
