Rating: Summary: The ghost house Review: I thought this book was exciting because it keeps you guessing and make you want to know what's going to happen next.This book is scary if you were to read at night because there's a ghost in the book and you might think they are in your house. Also, the book was sort of boring at times because it's not talking about anything but it's good overall. The book takes place a few years ago and the setting is at this old dusty, scary looking house.The main characters in this book are the dog named Petey, the bad boy Josh, the girl Amanda, Mom, Dad, and the salesman Mr.Dawes.My favorite character in the book is Amanda because she is nice and her parents have no problems with her. I would recommend the book to anyone who likes a scary book, ages 12-15.
Rating: Summary: just for children, scary&interesting.... Review: It was one the most well-written books which ever was written for children. Although I'm a writer I can not write as well as R.L.Stine .... I mean I'M very pleased that he had written those stories. As I was reading I wanted to be child again and can just say that this is one of the most scary books that he had ever written...but...I think.
Rating: Summary: One of my greatest Goosebumps books... Review: It's one of my favourite Goosebumps books and also one of Mr R.L. Stine's greatest books, I think. It's VERY INTERESTING, so if you didn't read this, you better DO IT NOW!!! "It's Uncle Charlie who gave me the house in Dark Falls!" their father said, excitedly. "Who's your Uncle Charlie? I've never heard of him." their mother frowned. "I don't know. It must be in the childhood times. Wow! Uncle Charlie must be a great man!" their father said, almost jumping. How about Amanda and Josh? Who wants to abandon their friends? Join them in their Adventure! (Nasty one, I think.)

Rating: Summary: dead house here i come Review: my book is called welcome to dead house by R.L.Stine. it's part of the goosebumps series. So if you want to know more about welcome to dead house lisin to me, oh and just to let you know my name is C.J. Kafitz. Starting off with Amanda and Josh. Amanda and Josh think the old house their dad's great Uncle Charels left themin his will is weird, spooky and possibly haunted. In fact, they think the whole town of Dark Falls (that is where their new house is), is pretty strange, too. Coming up next is the parents. Their parents don't quite, um how do I say this, oh ya, that's right, they don't believe them. All they say is, " Stop looking down and start looking up why don't you go meet some new friends?" So Amanda and Josh do what their parents say. But the friends they make aren't exactly what their parents had in mind. Because they want to be friends forever..... The place really is hauted. Amanda and Josh get out alive, find out if anyone else does. If you ask me about what I thought of the the book. I would say it's a great book that keep on the line. It's also a good book if you want a good scare. Well, that's all I have to say about Welcome to Dead House. If you want more info, well you'll just have to read the book.
Rating: Summary: More Than I Expected! Review: My First Goosebumps Book Was No.54, "Dont Go To Sleep". It Was Very Good. When I Picked Up The First Book, I Didn't Think It Was Going To Be That Good, Because I Thought the newer ones were the only good ones. Boy was i wrong! The book is about 2 kids and there parents. they live in a small stuffy house. Then a relitave they dont remember dies. In his will he leaves them an old house (aka "Dead house"). There was a terrible chemical spill in the town around 50 Years ago. everyone in the town of the house and they needed blood to survive. every year they invite a new Person to the dead house. So Then they realize they dont have a relitave that died. suddenly they start seeing things that there parents dont. who is living in the dead house? Uh-oh. Will They die? No! Look a tree? light shines in! There go all the dead people! When they move out someone else moves in. "Hi Who Are You?" "Oh, Um- We Used To Live Here!". One Of The Best Goosebumps books ever. THE END.

Rating: Summary: The Book that Started a Phenomenon Review: R.L. Stine and his "Goosebumps" series were just starting to become popular with my classmates during the 1993-94 school year (sixth grade for me). Everybody was reading them and talking about how cool they were. That is, everyone except me. I remember thinking, "That stuff is so stupid. I can't believe anybody would read that kind of junk. I never will." Oh, how naive I was at such a young age. Curiosity killed this cat, and in the eight years since then, I still find the time to read these books. All 62 of them. "Welcome to Dead House" is the one that started it all, and it is a classic, in this reviewer's opinion. This book is definitely darker in tone than some of his later books, and I really enjoyed it. This series was aimed at my age level (I was 12 at the time), and R.L. Stine hit the mark perfectly. He knew just what buttons to push to keep his readers reading. The thing that really enthralled me about this first book was how everything about Dark Falls (the town featured in the book) was so creepy. Amanda and Josh would take walks, and there would never be anyone around. No one mowing the lawn; no one walking the dog; not even a car would pass by. That is definitely something that would seem odd (and not to mention creepy) if there were real places like that. I loved all the references in this book to seeing kids in the house when they weren't really there, to seeing the gravestones and realizing that everyone is really dead, to the climax where Amanda and Josh are called on to save the day. R.L. Stine does a wonderful job of holding the suspense and moving the story along in his first outing. I'll always remember "Welcome to Dead House" as being a great story that was really creepy and fun to read. And I'll always remember how wrong I was about the entire series as a whole - "I can't believe anybody would read that kind of junk." Millions and millions of people around the world would tend to disagree.
