How to kill a Monster - Not one of my fave goosebumps books.

First off, to people who don't like Goosebumps because its not scary. What do you expect? It's for 7 - 12 year old kids, meaning not very frightening but a mysterious ending. Goosebumps is a mystery book in a sort way, because every time you read goosebumps series, you wonder how the storyline is going to be connected to the ending. I started to read goosebumps at the age of 8, and never once did I thought goosebumps was scary. (I read almost every book of the Original Goosebumps Series). But I still love goosebumps, and R.L.Stine is the authour that made me wanting to be an authour. So the bottom line is, don't read goosebumps if you want chill on your back. If you want a chill, I'd say watch the movie "The Grudge". LOL! Gretchen and Clark has to spend another living with their grandparent's house. They hate to, because Grandpa Eddie is practically deaf, and all Grandma Rose wants to do is bake. What makes it worse is that they live right in the middle of a dark, muddy swamp. Than they find out that there is a strange room upstairs. A growling noises coming out from it. So Gretchen goes there when she and Clark were playing Hide and Seek. And voila. A hideous creature was inside the room. Anyways, I would've really given a 4 star on this book. Why a 4 star? Because the beginning was just too slow-paced. It didn't have the enthusiasm and the twist(which is very predictabe if you've been reading goosebumps for 4 years...). It suddenly gets very good as soon as they find the swamp creature. So why 5 stars? Because I loved the idea of how the kids kill the monsters. I won't spoil it, but I'll just say that it is very fun to read. But that would've still been a 4 star... so where in the heck does the 5th star come? The ending, dude! Ending was pure sweet, I couldn't predict it even if I have been reading the series for 4 years now.

Action-Packed

It seems to me that every Goosebump book I have read has a "Most Something" title. This books is "Most Action" of a Goosebump book. In chapter 14 , I believe it is, when they find the monster, and until the end (Chapter 31), there is nothing but ACTION! I usually read a few chapters of them and put them down, but when I start redaing this, I read it all! Anyway, this is a very good book if you like action.

The Best Book I've ever read

This book is about two kids who go to their Grandparents house and they live in a swamp. Their is a swamp monster and they try to kill it. This book is full of surprises. This book made me keep on reading and reading and reading.

THIS BOOK ROCKS!

This book is so awesome! But, still, I don't think anyone would leave to get help that they will never get. Back to how awesome this book was. If you liked "Welcome To dead House" alot, you will not like this one. It is NOTHING like "Welcome To Dead House", so, don't buy it, if you liked Book #1. Also, I liked the names of the charactors. Gretchen, Clark, I've barely ever heard those names, but now I think they're cool names. So, again, THIS BOOK ROCKS!

Are You Home Alone? With A Monster??

Oh Great, Wonderful! Gretchen and her stepbrother, Clark, are staying with their grandparents. Grandma Rose is obsesed with baking and Grandpa Eddie is totally deaf. The Monster upstars, well? Lets just say that he's stubborn and doesn't want to die today or tomorrow. Then How Do You Kill A Monster? Read How To Kill A Monster to find out. But only if you decide that you will encounter with a monster some day!
