Pat and Nat are twins. Ginger is their old sister. Ginger is 12 and Pat & Nat are 10. They are playing a game and Ginger is the Beast and she has to tag a blue furry beast before dark. And she doesn't tag a beast, she will be eaten and her two brothers. But they are twins so the beasts tell them that Pat, Nat, Ginger are Level 3 and the beasts are in Level 1, so they let them go. But then, they were following the stream to their parents and they saw a beast in front of them and he growled an...more
These are one of those books that would be better as a movie but terrible as a book. If this were a movie it certainly wouldn't be a blockbuster film, but it would be for kids, if acting was done good it could be a funny film, but reading it..I have mixed feelings. Here you have three kids who walk around the woods somehow managed to reach some fantasy world with weird creatures and end up playing a deadly game of Tag (Book started going downhill from there) If you're it, you are labeled The Bea...more

I just couldn't make it through this one, despite being less than 120 pages. Goosebumps series is a far cry from a literary masterpiece now that I'm in my 20s, but I had read some of the books as a kid & liked them then, and they still provide a brief break from reality for adults...uh, in most cases anyway. This one just bored me though. I can't say much more than that,except I was annoyed that the younger siblings were obnoxious twin boys; is it just me, or are the annoying younger sibling...more
i think that this book was interesting although it might be a very easy book to read it was interesting. the characters are on a trip with their parents when they wander off and they end up finding these beasts. the beast talk to them and tell them to joint their game. their game is that if they win, the children are their food, but if they lose the children are free. thank god, the children were safe because they beat the beasts and won! i would recommend this book to everyone. it is a simple a...more
The book I am reviewing name is Goosebumps the Beast from the East by RL Stines. It is science fiction book. My thinking is that the books theme is that you should do anything to survive but in the process of survival don't forget relationship.
The book starts with a family that is on a picnic in a forest. The kids get separated from their family and they reach a place where there are blue giants forcing them to play a game. The winner gets to go home but the loser has to get chewed up alive so t...more

This book got me hooked onto reading more and more. I want to read more of the authors books. I like the part when they went camping by themselves and they ran out of the flashlight battery and they get lost in the forest. Then they get lost and started to hear noises so then they found each other but they saw a beast looking thing in the tree so they ran as fast as they could then the beast was right in front of them and the beast want to play tag.
This is a classic book, truly love the goosebumps series and have read all the books in middle school. Goosebumps books literally gave me nightmares. The details were so real they were like movies in my head every time I read these books. This book The Beast from the East specially was my favorite. I love a book with a great ending and this ending was great. This book was a thrill for my imagination with I was in middle school and it still is.
in the book there are three children ginger wald and her indentacl twin brothes pat and nat.and they all are lost inm the woods.and while there in the woods they see a beast and they are scared. i think this book was a good book because the setting was great and the way the author r.l. stine made the charcter traits really made the charecter and certain words and phares that make know the setting more realistice.

Of all the Stine works I read as a kid and early teen, this one I believe was the weakest work, although most seem to disagree.
I never really thought it was interesting- even less scary, but it also wasn't humorous and most of the Goosebumps series books fell into one of those two categories.

All in all, not much to say about this book. I really liked this story. It was fun and the characters weren't annoying at all. I loved the description of the world and whereas normally I might be upset at this type of ending, I enjoyed it and I think it fits the book well.
the children play a dangers game with strange, speaking creatures and then they became their meal. Then, the creatures thought that the children can double themselves and they are level3, so they freed them. But then they meet creatures from level3 and the game began again.
Surprisingly, I liked this one. Of course the plot is totally ridiculous, but there's a certain degree of suspense that keeps the reader wondering how the kids are going to get out of their mess. Standard-tier Goosebumps, and entertaining enough.
This one was cute! "Let's play a game, but we're not telling you the rules even though you continue to tell us that you've never played before and that you don't want to play now." Sounds like my brothers...
A girl and her two twin brothers go on a camping trip. Inevitably they get lost in the woods and begin a game of tag with its bizarre inhabitants. Of the four Goosebumps books Sean and I have read together so far, this would be the best. There are, apparently, several more in his school's library - these will be read once the third term begins in three weeks time.

I'm sorry, but there were three or four goosebumps books that legit scared the poop out of me. This is one of them.
Which is a shame, cause that beast is so cute!

Frankly, I thought this deadly game of Tag/Hide and Seek could have been written better. Entirely too predictable last paragraph twist.
Title:The Beast from the East
Author:R.L Stine
Genre:Short story novel
The setting made me think about that I was in a forest with my family. It made me think the main character was really terrified from the beast trying to scare him. This book is a scary horror kids kind of book. I love it. I wish to read the other series of this collection.

I read this book so many times when I was young :) I'd probably read it again just for the nostalgic feeling if I still had it!
This was the BEST Goosebumps book I've read so far!
I truly LOVED it! - I really can't express it better in other words, it was just amazing!
Go and read it if you haven't!

I can't bear more of Stein works after reading this one and Barking ghost. Both are so similar and nothing fearful. Same sad ending. These two books should have written as short stories.
