I remember reading this when I was about... seven I think, after reading Goosebums for a few years. What can I say? It scared the bejazers out of me. LOL. The descriptive work left me unable to were a necklace for the next six monhs for fear having it get caught on something... And at seven you're not looking for plot holes. Just about single-handedly put me off horror. I recently read it again, and could not catch the same feeling as then. Guess it left me immune, or some such.
This book has very good description and lets you imagine it in your mind. It is a perfect horror novel. It was creepy and mystifying. It would definitely be the perfect book for readers if they can't find something to do. It kept me thinking about what was going to happen next.By Clinton
I love that this story takes place at camp… not many horror books choose this setting and I love that it is a common occurrence with R.L. Stine.
Possible Spoiler Alert:
Well, there's one nice character in this story- I wonder who the murderer will be? That was a bit gruesome with Dawn's face being shredded by the pottery wheel. I was kind of surprised when Holly all the sudden hooks up with Mick at the end- just weird. Wouldn't the problems with Sandy be enough to get the camp shut down?
