“Say Cheese and Die!” By R.L. Stine Review

Greg thinks there is something wrong with the old camera he found. The photos keep turning out different. When Greg takes a picture of his father’s brand-new car, it’s wrecked in the photo. And then his dad crashes the car. It’s like the camera can tell the future–or worse. Maybe it makes the future! 

The entire plot in this book is about a polaroid camera and when you take a picture of someone with this camera then this person will disappear or die. And to be fully honest here I wasn’t the biggest fan of this book.

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 characters here were meh. To be fully honest here. I just didn’t care for any of them. Which really made me take away some points from this book.

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 2 / 5
