thedaysgoby 's review for:
The Cuckoo Clock of Doom
by R.L. Stine
I'm pretty sure I read a lot of Goosebumps as a kid, but it's been so long (I'm in my 30s now) and I can't remember which ones so it almost feels like reading them for the first time.
This one was just okay for me. The story was fine. It's sold as the kid is de-aging, which is true. But I'd pictured it as it was 1995 and he was de-aging to a baby while everything else around him stayed the same. In reality, it was more like the years were literally being rolled back so that he was living through days/years that had already happened to him.
His sister was literally the worst though. I'm actually sensing a theme with some of the Goosebumps books that Stine had a thing for rotten siblings, lol.
