This review is from: Monster Blood (Goosebumps Series) (Paperback)

MONSTER BLOOD is about a twelve year-old boy named Evan Ross who is forced to spend a few weeks with his deaf great aunt. Evan's father is being transferred to Atlanta, Georgia and the only person who can watch Evan while his parents are househunting is great aunt Kathryn. One day while on a visit to an old toy store with his new found friend, Andy, Evan buys a can of stuff called "Monster Blood". Evan doesn't think much of it and he and Andy spend the afternoon playing with the green silly putty-type substance. However, as time goes on the monster blood begins to grow and starts to act like its alive.

I enjoyed reading MONSTER BLOOD. It was pretty short and not too scary. It also had an unusual twist at the end.

This review is from: Monster Blood (Goosebumps, No 3) (Paperback)

This book I am writing about is Monster Blood. It was written by R.L. Stine. It is the first of four books. It is my favorite out of the four. It makes the most sense. I have read this book numerous times. It takes place in Evan's Aunt Kathryn's house. She is deaf and very creepy. She always talks to her cat Sarabeth. Could Sarabeth be talking back? This book is very creepy and also very sickening. But it is is sort of a love story. Evan and his friend Andy are flurting with each other. It is a good book and I hope you will read it. I recommend this book to anyoneone who likes a surprising ending.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Monster Blood (Goosebumps (Sagebrush)) (Library Binding)

This one is book #3 and called 'Monster Blood'. It's a four-part story. 'Monster Blood' is about a kid named Evan Ross. His family is moving to Atlanta, and he has to stay with his great Aunt while his parents are picking out a new house. Aunt Kathryn lives with her black cat Sarabeth. Then Evan meets a girl named Andy, and they become friends. They go to an toy store and find a can of Monster Blood. They think it's a fun toy, so they buy it. But it turns out that the can of Monster Blood is real and it starts to grow and grow and will not stop growing! I don't want to ruin the ending for you so you'd better go read it to find out what happens to them!
