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”.

The Morris family gets lost trying to find the Zoo Gardens theme park. But it does not matter. They find another amusement park. It’s called Horrorland. There are no crowds in Horroland. There are no queues. And you can enter for free. It looks like a nice place. But that’s before the mind-blowing ride on the Cursed Slide and the terrifying House of Mirrors experience begins. Because there is something strange in the attractions of Horrorlandia. Something too chilling, too real.

This book is another book from the Goosebumps book series.

The plot in this book takes place at a amusement park. I personally love horror stories which take place at amusement parks. So this book was a treat for me. And I had a lot of fun with this one.

This book is the 3rd book I’ve read from the goosebumps series. And I’ve noticed that I won’t get too old from goosebumps.

The action here was for sure eerie. And it gave me chills at times which I really enjoyed because in these moments it was like this book took me back to childhood again.

Amanda and Josh think the old house they have just moved into is weird. Spooky. Possibly haunted. And the town of Dark Falls is pretty strange, too. — But their parents don’t believe them. You’ll get used to it, they say. Go out and make some new friends. — So Amanda and Josh do. But these creepy new friends are not exactly what their parents had in mind.

Reading this series gives me a huge nostalgia to back when I was a child and watching Goosebumps TV show. Which is the main reason why I decided to read this book series.

The characters here are very good, and I liked them a lot. Even thou the majority of the characters in this book are children I still found them very likeable. 

The reason why I liked the characters felt super relatable, and what the main characters did felt like something I would do when I was their age.

This book was a very fun, interesting and enjoyable read. If you are looking for a book which will give you a huge nostalgia to childhood and a book where you can read with no brainpower involved than this book just as this whole series is the go to here.

“Long live the King” hailed Entertainment Weekly upon the publication of Stephen King’s On Writing. Part memoir, part master class by one of the bestselling authors of all time, this superb volume is a revealing and practical view of the writer’s craft, comprising the basic tools of the trade every writer must have. King’s advice is grounded in his vivid memories from childhood through his emergence as a writer, from his struggling early career to his widely reported near-fatal accident in 1999 — and how the inextricable link between writing and living spurred his recovery. Brilliantly structured, friendly and inspiring, On Writing will empower and entertain everyone who reads it — fans, writers, and anyone who loves a great story well told.

This book was a very short story about Stephen King’s life and some of his advises which he has for people who want to become writers.

This book have a lot of really good advice for people who want to start writing books which I personally enjoyed reading.

This book is a really quick read. It is as well interesting, enjoyable and fun to read. But there are couple of moments here and there which made me personally bored. 

This book gives us a view to him as a person and what he does when he is writing his amazing novels. Which I personally liked to learn about. 

The writing style here was pretty okay. It felt like classic Stephen King writing style but I personally felt like there was something missing when it comes to writing style in this book. 

For the most part this book was a mix of an autobiography and an advice book to new writers or people who want to become authors.

Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake. Their closest neighbors are more than two miles in either direction along a rutted dirt road. One afternoon, as Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen but he is young, friendly, and he wins her over almost instantly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologizes and tells Wen, “None of what’s going to happen is your fault”. Three more strangers then arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out: “Your dads won’t want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world.”

This book had the generic horror plot and set up as you could imagine. 

The plot here is a family going on a vacation to a cabin in the middle of nowhere. Not that much unique. 

To be honest this book started great but it somehow went quickly flat. Which really disappointed me personally.

This book had lots of potential but it didn’t of course use it which really is sad. 

The characters here are very flat and you just can’t relate to them cuz it is obvious that they aren’t real people and that they were made for just being killed off at some point. 

The written style here was very weak here but it had some good moments here and there.

“Ghosts are always hungry,” someone once said—and no one knows how ravenous they really are more than Ed & Lorraine Warren, the world’s most renowned paranormal investigators. For decades, Ed and Lorraine Warren hunted down the truth behind the most terrifying supernatural occurrences across the nation… and brought back astonishing evidence of their encounters with the unquiet dead. From the notorious house immortalized in The Amityville Horror to the bone-chilling events that inspired the hit film The Conjuring, the Warrens fearlessly probed the darkness of the world beyond our own, and documented the all-too-real experiences of the haunted and the possessed, the lingering deceased and the vengeful damned. 

So this was book written by none other than Ed and Lorraine Warren. Ive watched all the movies in the Ed and Lorraine Warren Cinematic Universe and this book is a nice little additional resource to the cinematic universe of Ed and Lorraine Warren.

Ive mention it before on this website that I’m a huge skeptic so I don’t believe that the stuff which is written in this book is real and that it happen. I just treated it like a good horror story as it should be treated.

This book is not about a specific case but rather about about graveyards and how it can be used by “ghosts” to communicate with humans. 

This book doesn’t bring any evidence supporting the “paranormal” existing it rather gave us some stories from people who allegedly saw ghosts in graveyards and it gave us some insight from Ed Warren & Lorraine Warren together with some quotes from other books about ghosts.

The writing style in this one was super incredible, it really shows that Ed and Lorraine Warren were good writers and good story tellers if you will.
