"Can you stand on your head?"
"No, its too high"
Sigh, no wonder the uncle didn't say anymore jokes. Anyways. I'm glad it's the same dummy in all three books, but is the same story. Dummy pulls the pranks, parents get super angry and no one believes the kids. It's so repetitive you can skip the first 15 chapters! In this book the girl is not the one with the dummy act (No, I can't spell the professional word for it and am too lazy to use spell check.) This time it'...more

The Night of the Living Dummy III is a really good book to read and is for anyone who wants to read an adventure story or a funny story. R.L Stine was really clever with the way that he put his book together. It is really a book for kids to read and enjoy.

Ahhh, the Goosebump days. I would borrow so many of these from the library they seriously considered extending my limit of books checked out at one time. R.L. Stine you were a reprieve from a harsh and dreary childhood in which my mind wandered far away from the troubles of the day. I stole books into my bed and read far into the night by the faintest of lights. I might have better eyesight were it not for you; however, I regret not one page or line.
This book is about how 2 little kids named Trina and Dan. Their dad use have a ventriloquist act.So he had alot of dummies in the attic. Trina and Dan were now hearing voices up in the attic but they knew that there were only dummies up there. They went up there and seen the dummies just lookin at them all weird. When they told their dad he didnt believe them. The whole time the kids just kept saying there is no way the dummies can be alive....
Sean and I whipped through this in 2 sittings. It's around 125 pages, so that should tell anyone interested that it held Sean's attention. Not having read Night of the Living Dummy I or II I couldn't be sure if the same dummy is the protagonist here again. I suspect he is.

the book night of the living dummy three is a very good book because it has such exciting things take place in the story. it will always keep you on your toes jsut wondering what will happen next. i would encourage everyone to read this book because its not very tricky to read and its a fun book to read
I gave this book four stars because its really good.This book was creppy and weird. I would recommend this book to people who like goosebumps books or creppy scary book.This book is also mystery. I think it would be weird to have to go up into the atic and see all those scary faces looking at you.
I was a avid R.L. Stine reader as a kid, just like all the other kids i went to school with, we were also big fans of the television series, watching it every friday evening after school. I enjoyed them because they were relatively entertaining. A great part of my child hood.
This book was about that a kid gets this dummy as a toy. And the what he didnt know was that the dummy was real(he could move and talk)So at the end the dummy and the kids family get into a fight and when they defeat the dummy they throw him in the sewer.
Gahhh, these books for this living dummy keep getting more terrifying. When I read them I was in elementary school (not sure what grade off the top of my head) but I remember being too haunted by this book to be able to even fall asleep at night.
i think night of the living dummy is a great book because i tkeeps you on your toes waiting to see what happens next. in this book you feel like your right there fighting with the dummy to gain control if you know what i mean.
I may have been confused by many of the illogical assumptions by Trina O'Dell's family that are made in this book, but it was an interesting diversion from the story of the first two, and I liked it.
Night of the living dummy is my favorite Goosebumps movies and books.there like evil stalkers.ill recommend this book to anyone who likes scary-horror movies
This series is supposed to be scary but it sure ain't scaring me. Goosebumps is so not scary but still I love to read it.
it was okay like they had more dummies in this book than the last. They were this mob dummy. It was magical hunted magical.

goosebumps is a very good book I wood give it 5 stars .Goosebump is a good book for kids.ms.yegge gave me the book I like
Dummies might be cute and adorable in reality, but in this book, the dummies not only look creepy. They are alive. I didn't like how the book ended, because it was not a happily ever after. The girl was left blamed, and the dummy was given away. Giving one those dummies away is giving away trouble.
This book was about a cursed dummy that goes around a ventriloquist's home and terrorises people
OMG...........its aliveeeeee.........again !? When is this dummy going to dieeeeeee-die!!!!!!!
Also as good as the first!!!!! Easy to read and he really gets you hooked into the book!
andie "didn't like this book. it had bad ending!":(
