5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent End to a 4-Book Series, March 13, 2008

This review is from: The Baby-Sitter IV (Point Horror Series) (Mass Market Paperback)

This is the 4th book of a 4-book series. Even though each book can stand alone, it is more fun and interesting if you read them all, in order. In the first 3 books, Jenny had tramatic experiences in the babysitting department.

In this 4th and last book, the new next-door neighbor asks Jenny to watch her kids. Should Jenny totally give up babysitting?

Strange things happen next door. Is Jenny crazy, or are these things really happening? The ending of this book is fun and satisfying.

I re-read these 4 books after 10 years or so of reading them the first time, because they were so good. I think they were even better the second time around! (If that's possible.) They have been a fun and enjoyable adventure and escape. I think these 4 babysitting books are the best books that R.L. Stine wrote (that I've read, and I have not read them all). I think I'm done with R.L. Stine for a while, and I am going back to reading adult books. I highly recommend the 4 babysitting books to all teens and only die-hard fun-loving adults.

5.0 out of 5 stars YOU WILL BE SHOCKED!!!, June 26, 2003

By 

"muscle_boy03" (Coral Springs, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Baby-Sitter IV (Point Horror Series) (Mass Market Paperback)

Unlike the first three books of this series, this one has new characters and new horror. Mr. Hagen is history in this book. The first three novels of The Babysitter were good but it got boring when the same old Mr. Hagen keeps calling and stalking Jenny. But in this one, (part 4) Jenny has different problems. She babysits a next door neighbor's two twin boys and daughter. Neither of them are older than eight. With those three kids, Jenny is having creepy experiences again. She doesnt know who is responsible, but when you get to the ending, you will just totally faint with shock and horror. It totally got my head spinning. R.L. Stine proved how good of a writer he is with this book and I definitely reccomend this book to any age people who like utterly creepy novels with shocking conclusions!!! Read it today!!! I am 15 years old and after reading this I am sure that I'll be reading Stine books forever.

4.0 out of 5 stars SOMETHING DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST THREE!, August 16, 2000

By 

Kimberly (holland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Baby-Sitter IV (Point Horror Series) (Mass Market Paperback)

I read this book in three hours (with breaks in between of course. The very first in this series is still the very best, what I found so good about this story is that it is completely different from the first three. That is a good thing what RL Stine did, I mean another murderer would've gotten boring and damn why would everyone want to kill Jenny, that just would've been absurd. And the girl surely would have gone crazy for real. This story is so completely different and RL Stine added more supernatural stuff which made the book very scary and a very good read. I think it was a good final chapter on Jenny's babysit adventures. Like she also finally closed the book on it herself. RECOMMENDED!
