This review is from: Slappy's Nightmare (Goosebumps Series 2000, No 23) (Paperback)

This is the first ever book I've seen in a long time that doesn't have the person saying the story, only the narrator. (its not the first I've seen)
Slappy always does evil and Jimmy O'James can't stand. Jimmy O'James is a ventrilioust. But he doesn't do the speaking. Slappy does because he is a real life dummy. Slappy is always ruining Jimmy's life like saying nasty jokes and threatning the audience. But Jimmy has a surprise for Slappy. Jimmy shows Slappy another dummy called Wally. Jimmy gets a stack of papers
and puts a curse on Slappy. Jimmy tells Slappy he has to do three good deeds in a week because he (Slappy) has done to much evil. Jimmy also tells Slappy if he doesn't do the three good deeds in a week, Slappy will fall to sleep forever and Wally (the other dummy) will go alive. A girl called Georgia comes to meet Jimmy and Jimmy gives Slappy to Georgia. Slappy wants to do the three good deeds as fast as he can so he can get back at Jimmy. At the time, Slappy does a good deed by cleaning Georgia's really messy room. But a few minutes later Slappy finds Georgia's room all wrecked and a good deed gone. Slappy knows a good deed is gone. The next thing Slappy knows is that Slappy is off to Georgia's friend Maggie's house. Slappy knows that he can do a good deed by entertaining Maggie, after Maggie has a broken leg and is in a wheelchair. After entertaining Maggie, Slappy knows that he has done a good deed. But then Maggie starts rolling down a steep hill. Maggie flys

out of her wheelchair and hits the ground. She breaks her arm. Another good deed has gone. Who is wrecking Slappy's good deeds.
And how much time till Slappy falls asleep forever.
Pick this book up and read it now!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Slappy's Nightmare, October 26, 2006

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Slappy's Nightmare (Goosebumps Series 2000, No 23) (Paperback)

Slappy's Nightmare scholastic 1999, 115pp. $3.99
R.L Stine ISBN 0-590-68535

Jimmy O' James is a well loved children's ventriloquist with his living dummy Slappy. Slappy is a real mad man (or mad dummy I should say). Slappy insults kids, hurts kids and is trying to ruin Jimmy's career. Slappy is so evil because he was made by an evil sorcerer. The sorcerer made slappy out of coffin wood. Eventually Jimmy has enough of Slappy. He sets a curse on Slappy. Slappy has one week to do three good deeds, or he will die! That might not be too hard for you but remember Slappy is evil so it is pretty hard for Slappy to do three good deeds. Eventually he starts to do good deeds but unfortunately some one is messing them up. Slappy thinks it is his owner's sister, Stella. So Slappy tries to KILL Stella... but is it really Stella... who is really messing up Slappy's good deeds... will he be put to sleep forever... READ THE BOOK!!!!!!
Imagine being Slappy fighting for your life. That's a lot of pressure. Slappy has to do three good deeds in one week. What if you don't do the good deeds? YOU'LL DIE! (Pretty creepy huh?)
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes horror, humor and suspense. This book puts you on the edge of your seat. Once you start reading this book you won't be able to put it down. If you like to laugh this is the book for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars The real Slappy's nightmare, April 30, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Slappy's Nightmare (Goosebumps Series 2000, No 23) (Paperback)

Slappy's nightmare is the greatest out of every Slappy book ever made. This one actually tells what Slappy's feelings are! He has to complete 3 good deeds to get out of the curse JimmyO'James puts him in. But Georgia's sister Stella keeps ruining them. Finally in a cafeteria Slappy relizes the truth. His twin Wally is the one ruining his deeds. Wally wants to live the only way he can is for Slappy to die. So they get in a fight. Even worse then in bride of the living dummy. THIS IS THE GREATEST BOOK OUT OF ALL Of SLAPPY'S OTHER ONES!! I DON'T KNOW HOW RL STINE DID IT BUT HE MADE THIS BOOK GREAT!! READ IT!!!!!
