3.0 out of 5 stars swampy
Gretchen and Clark have to stay at their grandparents for a while. They live in a house in the swamp. Their grandmother is always making too much food, yet keeps on making it, seemingly nervous when asked about it. When playing hide and seek, the kids come across a locked door they definitely should have let stay locked. Now they're all alone with....something...

5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book, May 23, 2000
By A Customer
I read the book How to Kill a Monster by R.L. Stine. It was a very interesting book because it had a lot of twists in it that you wouldn't expect. I liked the part when the monster was chasing the kids and when the kids tried to kill the monster. I would suggest this book to anyone who likes mysteries.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Chilling story, May 6, 2006
A Kid's Review
This review is from: How To Kill A Monster (Goosebumps Series) (Mass Market Paperback)
How to Kill a Monster is a fabulous book. It is a spine tingling, heart breathing, and breathe taking scary book. It is about two is my favorite o kids, Gretchen who is 12 and Clark who is 12 went to visit their grand parents. The grandpa is my favorite character because he is nearly deaf and the grandma just likes to cook. The two kids had some trouble getting there thought. At the house, they found a locked door and wanted to check it out. However, their grandparents tell them to stay away. Can you guess what happened? Yah they open the door and something comes out. When Gretchen and Clark go downstairs, they are locked in. Do they get out? You will have to read the book to find out. In my opinion people 9 and up should read this book. I just thought it was a wonderful book.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to kill a Monster - Not one of my fave goosebumps books., July 1, 2005
This review is from: How To Kill A Monster (Goosebumps Series) (Mass Market Paperback)
First off, to people who don't like Goosebumps because its not scary. What do you expect? It's for 7 - 12 year old kids, meaning not very frightening but a mysterious ending. Goosebumps is a mystery book in a sort way, because every time you read goosebumps series, you wonder how the storyline is going to be connected to the ending. I started to read goosebumps at the age of 8, and never once did I thought goosebumps was scary. (I read almost every book of the Original Goosebumps Series). But I still love goosebumps, and R.L.Stine is the authour that made me wanting to be an authour. So the bottom line is, don't read goosebumps if you want chill on your back. If you want a chill, I'd say watch the movie "The Grudge". LOL!

Gretchen and Clark has to spend another living with their grandparent's house. They hate to, because Grandpa Eddie is practically deaf, and all Grandma Rose wants to do is bake. What makes it worse is that they live right in the middle of a dark, muddy swamp. Than they find out that there is a strange room upstairs. A growling noises coming out from it. So Gretchen goes there when she and Clark were playing Hide and Seek. And voila. A hideous creature was inside the room.

Anyways, I would've really given a 4 star on this book. Why a 4 star? Because the beginning was just too slow-paced. It didn't have the enthusiasm and the twist(which is very predictabe if you've been reading goosebumps for 4 years...). It suddenly gets very good as soon as they find the swamp creature.

So why 5 stars? Because I loved the idea of how the kids kill the monsters. I won't spoil it, but I'll just say that it is very fun to read. But that would've still been a 4 star... so where in the heck does the 5th star come? The ending, dude! Ending was pure sweet, I couldn't predict it even if I have been reading the series for 4 years now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Action-Packed, June 23, 2005
By 
It seems to me that every Goosebump book I have read has a "Most Something" title. This books is "Most Action" of a Goosebump book. In chapter 14 , I believe it is, when they find the monster, and until the end (Chapter 31), there is nothing but ACTION! I usually read a few chapters of them and put them down, but when I start redaing this, I read it all! Anyway, this is a very good book if you like action.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK ROCKS!, June 25, 1999
By A Customer
This book is so awesome! But, still, I don't think anyone would leave to get help that they will never get. Back to how awesome this book was. If you liked "Welcome To dead House" alot, you will not like this one. It is NOTHING like "Welcome To Dead House", so, don't buy it, if you liked Book #1. Also, I liked the names of the charactors. Gretchen, Clark, I've barely ever heard those names, but now I think they're cool names. So, again, THIS BOOK ROCKS!
