A Kid's Review

This review is from: Goosebumps #43: The Beast from the East (Mass Market Paperback)

The Beast from the East is an awesome book. When I was reading it, I felt like I was there, escaping from all the dangers of the woods with Ginger Wald and her identical twin brothers, Nat and Pat. While on a picnic, Ginger's parents tell her, Nat, and Pat to go into the woods and explore for a while. So they do. After a long time, they get lost, and have no clue which way to go. While talking about getting back to their camp site, they find a GIGANTIC footprint and the ground suddenly starts to shake. That forces them to hide behind some of the strange-looking plants. Then, they meet the blue, furry, beasts. They seem friendly....sort of. They want to play a game similar to tag. But in the game, if you're It when it ends......you get eaten. The ending of the book is creepy. R.L. Stine sure knows how to write a book. I didn't want to put it down. I know that a lot of kids will really, REALLY enjoy this great Goosebumps book.

By A Customer

This review is from: The Beast from the East (Goosebumps, No. 43) (Paperback)

This book, unlike any other Goosebumps book, has a assortment of delightful mini adventures, sure to please even the most ignorant non-readers.

This book is about three children, who are all siblings. On a family camping trip they get lost in the woods, where they meet huge gruesome beast that want to play a deadly game of tag. The winners get to stay alive. Thus, the losers get eaten.

If you want horror, humor, and drama all in one book, then I strongly suggest that you purchase this extraordinary masterpeice. Farthermore, it opens the mind to a whole new world of endless possibilities.
