4.0 out of 5 stars Scary and Full of Supernatural., September 1, 2002

This review is from: Cry of the Cat (Goosebumps Series 2000, No 1) (Paperback)

The original Goosebumps series was full of suspense and events that almost seemed horrifc. However, in the majority of the books things were explained through some natural, rational, or plausible way and then the book ends with a Hitchcockian twist. If CRY OF THE CAT is any indication of what the Goosebumps 2000 holds, then things are a lot more spooky with a lot less rational explantation.

The story of CRY OF THE CAT revolves around Alison. Alison is a young girl who is involved in theatre. One afternoon while on her way to play practice, she runs over a cat and kills it. At least she thinks she killed it. When she takes it back to the owners, it comes back to life. The same cat shows up again during play rehearsal and is crushed by a set piece on accident. But the cat comes back again and starts to haunt Alison. The cat, Rip, isn't like other cats and it has a mind of it's own.

Spooky story filled with lots of interesting plot twists. Feels more frightening than some of the original Goosebumps.

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought this was the best book I'd ever read., January 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Cry of the Cat (Goosebumps Series 2000, No 1) (Paperback)

CRY OF THE CAT is my favorite book of all time. I thought it was less scary and less exciting at first, but when I read it, it was even better than Monster Blood IV. So far I think GOOSEBUMPS:SERIES 2000 is better than regular GOOSEBUMPS. P.S. I can't wait to read BRIDE OF THE LIVING DUMMY. ---Adrian Dunbar
