Gary Lutz needs a vacation from himself. Bullies are constantly beating him up. His only friend is his computer. Even his little sister doesn’t like him. But now Gary’s dream is about to come true. He’s going to exchange bodies with another kid for a whole week. Gary can’t wait to get a new body. Until something horrible happens. And Gary finds out his new body isn’t exactly human. 

To be fully honest here, this one really surprised me, because there is a life lesson in this book. And that life lesson is that even if you are hate your life, you always could have a much worse life than you do. 

The plot in this book wasn’t a masterpiece, but I know that if I read this book and this entire series as a child it would have given me some very good scares and probably some nightmares.

The main character here is okay, he is 12 years old and he doesn’t like his life because he is bullied and he doesn’t have any friends. For me personally he was very relatable which really made me like him more.

But reading this book as an adult is less impressive, and less scary. Because if you read this book and the series as an adult you won’t be scared but you will for sure love this book and series for other reasons especially if you grow up while watching the Goosebumps TV show as I’ve did.

This book has a huge nostalgia, because it reminded me of the OG tv shows I grow up watching. And of course the OG tv shows I’m talking about are “are you afraid of the dark?”, “Goosebumps” and “tales from the crypt”.

I Give This Book 3 / 5
