Summary: A good action packed horror/mystery book
Review: In "The Doom Stone," fifteen-year-old Jackson goes to visit his aunt (Sarah Cawley) near Stonehenge in England. Dr. Cawley is an anthropologist who studies skeletons of humans who have been dead for centuries. Soon Jackson spots a strange looking creature that looks like a living skeleton with huge red eye sockets and with slime oozing out of its nose. The creature, called Skull Face, is on a killing spree and it's up to Dr. Cawley, Jackson, Alma (a girl who lives close to Stonehenge in a crematorium), and the police to try to find the monster's weakness and find a way to kill it.

I've read a few of Paul Zindel's books, and I have to say that he is best at writing books like "The Doom Stone," "Loch," and "Rats." Of those 3, "The Doom Stone" is my least favorite, but it's still great. "The Doom Stone" is more of an action packed horror book and it lacks in plot at the end of the book a little bit. However, I still liked it a lot because it was action packed and it was hard to put the book down. If you like action packed horror books, I recommend reading "The Doom Stone."

Summary: I should have read this book sooner.
Review: It was a warm summer night in 1995 when Jackson, the main character, was driving around with Tillman,his best friend, in a jeep and they hit a shadowy figure. After that things were going wrong. First, Jackson's mom gets bitten by something and had to go to the hospital. When she woke up and tried to get out of her bed she couldn't because she was tied down.Last but not least, when she went outside into the moonlight she turned into a werewolf like figure.

When Jackson found out what happened to his mom, he gets mad and tries to find the doom stone to make his mom to go back to normal again. Jackson learned that to make his mom go back to normal he would have to .... Read and find out.

Summary: "The Doom Stone."
Review: My overall oopinin about this book is that this book rocks and is so exciting to read that you can feel yourself in the book and see yourself there that you are going agenst the antagonist in the book and see Jackson fighting the doom stone monster that he calls Skull Face.

Five things I like about this book is... 1.That it is gory. 2.That it just came out of the book and made you apart of it. 3.That it was so invigerating that you can help Jackson ficht Skull Face. 4.That it had a lot of attacks from Skull Face. 5.That it was funny at some sirious moments.

Five things I didn't like about the book is... 1.That the army kept trieing to kill the monster. 2.how short the attacks were when it attacked. 3When the monster bit his aunt Shara. 4.How his aunt was being controled. 5. how the places were barely dicribed.

the people that would enjoy the book are people that like gory and books with volums. the loch is the first vol. and the doom stone is vol.2.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Captivating
Review: Paul Zindel gives you a book that you will never be able to put down. I have read this book many times over and have never gotten sick of it at all. Just never read this book when you are alone at night!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The best ever!!!!!!
Review: Paul Zindel is awesome how do you think up moving by stonheng and finding out about the monster. The ending is the best if you want to know though you'll have to find out.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Short Creepy Ride
Review: Paul Zindel serves up another short and creepy adventure with the Doom Stone. Jackson is visiting his aunt Sarah in wonderfully mysterious and ancient Stonehenge, the perfect setting for the adventure to follow. The creepiness in the story even extends to the girl Jackson befriends who, of course, is the daughter of a gravedigger. The terror is notched a couple of levels from some of Paul Zindel's previous books as the bodies begin dropping. He has written a fast-paced tale that moves quickly and manages to cover a lot of thrills in a very short space. A fine little read.

Rating: 5 stars
