Review # 1 was written on 2017-08-17 00:00:00 E.cordell Johnson Iv This was one of my favorite books IN LIFE as a young teen, and I must have checked it out from the library and read it a dozen times over the years. I won't give it a star rating because I haven't read it in years now, but it came to mind just now and I totally want to reread it and see if it held up! I remember thinking it was so gruesome and creepy as a kid, and the twist was totally haunting and sad. Maybe I'll do a reread review soon!

Review # 2 was written on 2009-02-23 00:00:00 Charles Thomas I picked this up at a library book sale, thinking I would be in for an old-school horror treat, especially after seeing the endorsement by R.L. Stine on the back cover; I was sadly mistaken. The book starts out okay but quickly develops into a strange mix of gory horror with an environmental agenda. I guess kudos to the author for trying something different and attempting to use this medium to convey a serious message about environmental issues and its impacts to his young audience, but in my opinion, it didn't work at all. I didn't particularly care for the characters either, so in the end, nothing much about the book really appealed to me, which is a true shame as I had been rather looking forward to this one. Oh well... moving on!
