5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST GOOSEBUMPS BOOK!, January 1, 2000

This review is from: The Haunted Mask (Goosebumps) (Paperback)

Attention all Goosebumps fans. You have to buy this book. It is about a girl named Carly Beth Cadwell who bought a mask from a Party Store and when she put it on, the mask became her real face. It was revenge from two boys named Steve and Chuck. It is the best Goosebumps book I ever read. So read this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars "If looks could kill...", January 31, 2004

This review is from: The Haunted Mask (Goosebumps Series) (Paperback)

I was addicted to these books when I was younger and it wasn't until I was majoring in education in college that I figured out why. They were interesting with bizarre plot twists that most 9-12 year olds don't think about and they were short (usually between 110-130 pages). I could read the whole thing in a day.

My parents also didn't have a lot of heartache with buying me a new book because these are relatively inexpensive (in the neighborhood of 3-5 bucks each).

R.L. Stine's "Goosebumps" books aren't scary, just kind of creepy. There aren't graphic descriptions of murder and mayhem. Just some ghosts, werewolves, or potions. The main character is alive in the end, and the final chapter resolves everything.

**Keep in mind, R.L. Stine has other books that aren't in the "Goosebumps" series that tend to be a little harsher when it comes to hauntings and plot. They are written more for the 12-14 age group and are longer (around 150-200 pages).

I loved this book. It was so scary and full of action. Plus, I love HALLOWEEN. I suggest this book to anyone who likes horror stories!
