a great werewolf story by R.L Stine

Split into two magnificent parts, Werewolf in the living room is a great GOOSEBUMPS book.Part One: In part one, Aaron Friedus goes off to the woods to go werewolf hunting with his father. Aaron can't stop having nightmares about werewolves. Then Aaron gets bitten by a werewolf. But was it a dream? Finally Aaron meets the werewolf again. The werewolf drops a tooth on a pendant in Aaron's cot. Aaron's father puts the pendant over Aaron's neck. Now Aaron has the pendant on. The next day, Aaron and his dad go further in the woods, when Aaron loses track of his Dad. Aaron finds a cabin in the woods and out comes a woman. While speaking together, the pendant falls out and the lady gets a poker from a hearth. She forces Aaron out and says the pendant is the sign of the werewolf. After a lot more adventure in the woods, Aaron finds his father. His father says to Aaron that the man chained up is a werewolf. Aaron turns to a man chained up called Ben Grantley. Ben says to Aaron and his father that he is not a werewolf. But dad doesn't believe him. Then after a long while, they sail on ship back home.Part Two: Aaron's father kept the cage in the living room. Ben sat there, in the cage in sadness. Aaron saw him and felt very sorry for him. Aaron knew Ben wasn't a werewolf. Aaron went to his bedroom and sreamed. His neck was covered in fur. Bristly fur. He decided not to tell his father. Soon Aaron's friend came over. She thought it was cruel to keep a innocent man in a cage. Aaron knew they were going to be famous when Ben would transform into a werewolf. Aaron's father would be known to be the person who caught a werewolf. But what would happend if Ben wasn't a werewolf. They would probably get humiliated. So Aaron let Ben out of his cage. The next morning Aaron put on the news and the reporter said 3 people got attacked by a werewolf. Could Ben actually be a werewolf.

A Really Super Good Book!

I really liked book because it had a lot of warewolf scenes in it and I like warewolfs. I really like Goosebumps books because they have a lot of interesting parts, even though there are a few boring parts. Sometimes in the book they have the characters keep talking for no reason at all and I don't like that. I think that they should just make more action and less people talking. But this book didn't have a lot of conversation that bored me.

Howlingly Terrifying!

This is a great story about a boy and his dad. Dad wants to catch a werewolf and he accuses an innocent man as a werewolf! So, read this book by the greatest horror writer of all, R.L. Stine!

This was a really cool book from what I read

This is the best of R.L. Stine books of the werewolves. Tell me when another one like this is coming out.

This is no coach potato

I thought this was a real scary book. It gave me GOOSEBUMPS!!!! I hope R.L. Stine writes more scary books like Horrors of the Black Ring was.
