It's a distinct possibility! At some point I'd like to tackle at least one (and maybe more) of the 25 Series 2000 books[Note 1] and one of the Give Yourself Goosebumps books.[Note 2] And of course, there'll be a new series of Goosebumps books out this spring revolving around Horrorland, count on some form of coverage for those as well.[Note 3]

Okay, are you aware that these books are meant for children? I mean how old are you? In every single review you sound like an irritable, egomaniacal 4th grader who's let the fact that he reads at a 5th grade reading level go to his head.

"Oh, these juvenile little stories with their formulaic structures, predictable plot twists, and one dimensional characters. Alas, am I the only one in my class who reads the Wheel of Time series? I can't wait until middle school when I'll be free of these intellectually stunted kids and their childish literature."

Seriously though. What is your problem? These are kids books. Understand? KIDS BOOOOOKS! I read a good chunk of 'em when I was young. I got through about 20 or 25 before I realized I'd grown out of them, but I still look back on them fondly in a nostalgic way. Yes they're lame and predictable and cheesy, but that's what makes them all the more memorable.

So calm the hell down! I mean jesus christ. These read like a guy who's criticizing a painting done by a blind guy.

Notes[edit | edit source]

  1. In fact, he did all of them!
  2. In fact, he did none of them!
  3. See Revenge of the Living Dummy.
  4. A confusing sentence because of its scant punctuation. A more clear version might look like this:

    What would a blind man even be painting except maybe (with help) a wall?
