Then, there's the fact that they wanted to force-feed Matt a sleeping potion, which seems like a sudden, inexplicable, and unnecessary mixture of genres. The story itself is kind of silly, what with the idea of there being such a thing as the Reality Police-and if there were, I bet they'd name themselves something that wasn't so, you know, lame-and the absolutely ludicrous notion of a 12-year-old girl being a member of said police force. So nice of that gentleman to leave Matt his car.Īside from that, I'm not sure if this is one of the better installments in the Goosebumps series. And I was also amused by Matt's rather snarky inner thoughts when he turned into a giant monster with a taste for metal. Matt's older brother's running commentary, a la Animal Planet, however, actually had me snickering. I honestly can't remember if I found the Goosebumps books funny back when I was a kid, but as an adult, Stine's "jokes" tend to fall flat. This one was actually pretty funny, surprisingly. Stine has received numerous awards of recognition, including several Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards and Disney Adventures Kids' Choice Awards, and he has been selected by kids as one of their favorite authors in the NEA's Read Across America program. His other major series, Fear Street, has over 80 million copies sold. In the early 1990s, Stine was catapulted to fame when he wrote the unprecedented, bestselling Goosebumps® series, which sold more than 250 million copies and became a worldwide multimedia phenomenon. Stine began his writing career when he was nine years old, and today he has achieved the position of the bestselling children's author in history. Stine, who is often called the Stephen King of children's literature, is the author of dozens of popular horror fiction novellas, including the books in the Goosebumps, Rotten School, Mostly Ghostly, The Nightmare Room and Fear Street series. Stine and Jovial Bob Stine, is an American novelist and writer, well known for targeting younger audiences.
