Summary: TALE OF AN EVIL CAMERA!
Review: Goosebumps from R.L. Stine continues to offer chilling and fun books for the pre-teen crowd. Perhaps not as popular as they were several years ago, these are still enjoyable reads...not too scary for elementary school kids with a target audience of age 6 - 11 I would say. Scholastic has been reprinting these classic horror tales from R.L. Stine and making them available for a whole new generation of kids who are ready to be chilled!

In Say Cheese and Die, Greg finds a camera in an old, decrepit and abandoned house. Greg is happy to start using his new camera but when he does, bad things begin to happen. He takes a picture of his dad's new car but the photo shows the car wrecked. Not long after his dad is in an accident. he takes a picture of his friend Shari but when the picture is developed she is not there. Soon afterward Shari disappears. To make matters worse, someone is stalking Greg to get the camera back.

Like all Goosebumps book this is a light, quick read. Perfect for younger kids to read themselves in a few days or for parents to read along with other children. Just scary enough to give them some chills but not too scary to cause nightmares. Very enjoyable!

Summary: Abusotely, one of the best Goosebumps books.
Review: Great. Interesting. Awesome. Thrilling, but not scary. I liked that part when Greg took a picture of I-forgot-her-name-but-you-know-who and later she disappeared. Then she appeared again, only to say she's been standing there and the next thing she knew, two days have past. (That's the only interesting part not including the ending. But it's more interesting than the ending.) I recommended you this book, and don't forget about Say Cheese and Die-Again!

Summary: Say Cheese and Die review by Sissy
Review: Have you ever heard of a camera that can tell the future? Well if you haven’t, you should ask a boy named Greg how that is. One day Greg and his friends, Shari, Michael, and Bird, were fooling around, and wandered to the old Coffman house. This is an old, abandoned, haunted house. Once the four friends get to the house, they realize where they were. They all dared each other to go inside. Strange eyes peer from a high up window, like glowing cat eyes. Those eyes belonged to Spidey, the Coffman House, housekeeper. He watches over the house, and keeps all wanderers away. As the children cautiously enter the house, they soon get lost in the huge, mysterious mansion. As these four, scared, lost friends, walk around, they find themselves lost in the basement. Greg, suddenly falls over this stuck out floorboard. There, they open it, and find and find an old, rustic, camera. They quietly look at it, and then go on, to doing something else. When Mike and the others are all dressed up in the clothes they had found, Mike suggests that Greg take a picture of him. After the photo came out, Mike started down the stairs, to see the picture, and how it turned out. Suddenly, they all see a big mass flying through the air. It’s Mike! How’d this happen, they didn’t know. After Greg, Shari, and Bird helped him up, they all stare at the photo in disbelief. The picture had shown Mike falling from the steps. Mike questioned how the photo came out with him falling, when Greg took the picture before he fell? None of them knew how to respond. They couldn’t believe what they had just seen, and witnessed.
Another day, on Shari’s birthday, she made Greg bring the camera over. He really didn’t want too, because he was afraid that something else bad might happen. When Greg got to her party, she insisted he took a picture of her, seeing as it was her day to rule, her birthday. As the photo came out, Shari, being so anxious, ripped the photo out of Greg’s hand, tearing it right in half. After that, she made him retake the photo, this time waiting for him to show her. As Greg showed her, her face turned blank, with astonishment. All four of the friends gathered around, all seeing the same thing Shari and Greg did. Shari, not in the picture, just the background of where she was, that’s all the picture showed. After they continued on with the birthday plans, they headed back into the house. Someone had noticed something wrong. Shari missing! Where was Shari? Many thoughts rushed through Greg’s mind: “What could’ve happened to her? Where is she right now? Is she okay?” What would Greg do if Shari never showed up? Soon the police were at Shari’s house, and they were searching though everything, trying to find her! The party quickly ended, and everyone had gone home. As Greg reached his house, no one was there. Where were they? Their new car wasn’t there either. What was going on? Earlier that day, before the party, Greg had taken a picture of the new car, and had just now remembered putting it in his back pocket. When he pulled it out, he saw it, a photo of their new car, all smashed up. Still holding the camera, Greg walked into the house, and into his room to find something horrid had happened. All of his belongings had been thrown about, his room a mess, all torn up. Suddenly, the phone rang, surprising Greg, causing him to jump. When Greg answered it, it was his mother. She told him that his father had been evolved in a serious car accident, and was now in the hospital. She also said that the new Station Wagon had been totaled! What would happen next, Greg wondered? Was it the camera doing all this evil?
After all of this happens, Greg starts getting weird ideas. What does this camera do? What do you think it does? The next day, out of nowhere, Shari turns up! She said to everyone, that she had just been wandering around in the woods with all of her friends at her party, and suddenly, she was in the middle of the woods all by herself. Then, this morning, she just remembered waking up in the back woods, and getting up, and going into the house. That was all that she remembered, and knew about. It all made sense to Greg at that moment. He took all of the photos he shot out, and he just looked at them, trying to find out what all of them had in common. Then it hit him, they were all pictures of what had happened after the photo was taken! He knew the answer to his question, what was this camera, and what did it do? It told the future!
Greg, Shari, Bird and Mike decided that they had to do something with the camera before it did something else to another innocent person. They had to take the camera back. Back to the rightful owner of this evil thing. They had to get rid of it, before it hurt someone else! Later on that day, the four friends went to the Coffman House. The thoughts of the camera made Greg think of Spidey. He wondered if this was his doings, and if he purposely tried to do something to them, to get back at them for taking the camera. Quietly, and carefully, they all sneaked in the house, as if they were little mice, passing a sleeping cat, and then down to the basement they went. Cautiously, they put the evil camera back, and started up the stairs. Ah! Spidey was at the top, glaring down at them viciously, attempting to come after them. The children, quaking nervously, looked up frightened to death, wondering what to do, all looked at one another, and ran. Shoving Spidey over, they all flew out the front door, desperately trying to save their lives. What would happen next? What would Spidey do to them, when he caught them? To know, you’ll have to read the rest of the book! (...)

Summary: Nothing Short of A Great Literary Masterwork
Review: I am befuddled as to how I could ever fully manifest the amount of praise I have for this piece of art so as to create a grammatically identifiable statement.

Amazing.

Review: I like Say cheese and die because Josh found a evil camer at the Carmen's house that has a curse on it because when you take a photo You will look agzly like the photo. My favorite part is when Josh's famly has a bar-b-que and Josh takes a photo And his famly turns to bonse! I don't tink it can be better. I read it because it had a good book cover.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A camera that can hurt you bad.Very bad
Review: I liked this book because it was like a mystery. I read a lot of mystery books. I think that some boys/girls who like detective / mystery books would like to read this book. I thought that it was a great book.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This is a great book!
Review: I read the book GOOSEBUMPS: Say Cheese and Die by R.L. Stine. I think that this is a good book for young readers. I liked the part when Michael took a picture of his dad's car and it turned out a wreck. When his dad got home the car was in a wreck. I also liked the part when Michael, Bird, and Greg took a picture of Shari, and she had dissapeared. The book was cool, except it was a mystery. Nobody knows why the camera was that way. I would recomend this book for future readers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the few childrens books that is good for adults.
Review: I read this book when it came out in 1995, when I was 13. I thought this was an awesome book, with well-introduced characters (except, maybe, for "Spidey"...), a good plot, and a sinister antagonist: a camera. Nickelodeon's "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" had an episode ("The Tale of the Curious Camera") that was almost a complete copy of this story, but honestly, I don't know which came up with the idea first. I've always wondered about if a camera could do something supernatural, and this is one of the reasons why I ever did. Right now I am currently reading Stephen King's novella "The Sun Dog" in "Four Past Midnight", another supernatural camera story. I can only hope that that Official Boy Scouts camera I bought from an antique shop isn't posessed...
