4.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Interactive Mystery Story, June 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Curse of the Haunted Mansion (Paperback)

Originally titled "The Mystery of Chimney Rock" when it first hit the stores in 1982 (and WHY Bantam Books felt the need to re-title most of the first 10 books in the series in the early '90s is beyond me), this is a fun, scary (if you're 10 or under, as I was at the time) ride for younger readers. The whole sub-plot about the cat is interesting and a true twist ending. Read it and enjoy--and try to get your hands on the original if you can! ...Notorious

5.0 out of 5 stars The creepiest Choose Your Own Adventure yet!, August 3, 1998

This review is from: The Curse of the Haunted Mansion (Paperback)

This book is very chilling and very spooky. Even at age 15 I enjoyed it! (Although I haven't the slightest idea why it's name was changed!)
