This review is from: Bad Dreams (Fear Street, No. 22) (Mass Market Paperback)

I thought this book would be much better by the cover and the back summary. I wanted to read it badly, so i did. it only took me a day to finish it! It was good, yet very shocking. It isn't very scary, but pretty suspensful.
The book is about a girl named Maggie who moves into a creppy house on Fear street. When she goes into the room she chose, she finds an old fashioned pink canopy bed. She falls in love with it right away. but the minute she lies down in the bed, she starts seeing a girl getting murdered. But it got worse. the horrible dreams got more grusome, and when they started happening, Maggie was even more terrofied. Can Maggie stop it?
My advice: IF U LIKE MY SUMMARY FOR IT, THEN U WILL LIKE IT. READ IT:) ITS GREAT!

This review is from: Bad Dreams (Fear Street, No. 22) (Mass Market Paperback)

I liked this book, I thought the idea was original-having bad dreams about girl being killed in your bed.

I don't really get scared by RL Stine's books, but I have to admit, it was kinda creepy. I like how he describes how Maggie is trying to fall asleep and it's scary. We all can relate to that. I know sometimes when I'm trying to fall asleep, and I hear noises outside, it freaks me out.

The ending is kinda hard to believe for me, but I still never really saw it coming. Well I like the way he ended it, because I hate when the killer turns out to be a ghost or a vampire or something like that. this way, it was more realistic.
