I haven't had the pleasure of reading the first one, but when I read this one in 1996....it was worth the time! I enjoyed it from start to finish and the idea of a roller-coaster time machine was different like everyone else has stated. I appreciate R.L. Stein for this book of its time!

Once again James and Ashley find themselves back in the 1930's at Firelight Park. But this time, they are dealing with a the barker of a freak sideshow who wants to put them in his show because they are from the future.

Great book, great story, but IMO does not compare to the first one.

It was a normal day. James and Ashley just got done riding the Beast. Ashley says she wants to ride the Beast again. James decides to ride the Beast. So Ashley and James right away got on the Beast in the front car. The ride started. After the first hill they started to scream really loud. After the ride James looks over to see that Ashley is not there.
Later on in the book James is still looking for P.D. He finds P.D later on at the Beast. He asks P.D. what to do he says to get one the Beast in Ashleys spot. The ride begins. James starts to scream his head off. All of a sudden he's in a different world.

Some man pulls him out of a capsule. He puts me in some weird space close. I noticed that I was in the past. He walked him down a hallway. He past a kid in a water tank. He looked like a fish. He said, " Run!" James tried to escape. He put him in a cage pulled some curtains. A whole crowd was in front of him. He looked over to see Ashley.

The whole crowd was asking them questions. The other kids in the cage were answering questions. After the a while the show ended. They had 20 minutes to rest.

Later on in the book Ashley and James escaped and ran around the carnival. People were looking at them weird.

They were looking for the Beast. They never found it and ran back to were the came from. The Doctor was made. So the thought of another way. Ashley thought that the could get there close. That was it they went in were the capsule was. As soon as they got there they started to search for there close. Ashley called James over. She had found there close. They went back to their room, and changed. The doctor had came in and saw there close. He said he was going to turn them into a different time. Put them in the capsule. James reversed knobs. The Doctor opened the door to the time machine. He grabbed Ashley, but it was too late. Ashley and James had returned to there time. As they got back they saw Fire works in the sky.

I thought this book was an interesting book. The book was interesting because they would excape form the Doctor I always thought what would happened when they came back. I recommend it for people who like to read Adventure.

it was so cool!!! i recomend this book to any R.L stine fan.way to go R.L stine!!!

I've read both, The Beast and The Beast 2, and thought they were both great. The Beast 2 is filled with action, and suspense. I could not put it down.

It has bad parts but its interesting. I liked the idea of a rollercoster time machine. Its also mean how the Captain didn't want to send them back to there own time.

the beast two was a good book. it would be nice if r.l. stine wrote the beast three because i liked both books

I've seen R.L. Stine write better in his books

I think R. L. Stine has great ideas but he doesn't express them enough. He describes the characters like he has read about them fifteen hundred times. I think he doesn't pick very good titles for what the story is about. R. L. Stine makes it seem like you're really there. You can feel the feelings of the characters in the book. The Beast 2 is very good for kids between the ages of 8 and 13

The Beast 2 is isn't as scary as the first. It can sometimes get a little boring. Otherwise, it was okay.
