Be Careful What You Wish For... (Goosebumps, #12)
by R.L. Stine
by R.L. Stine
I was never good in math, but I counted 6 wishes instead of three. Course a few were retracted, but still with my ADD I can't keep up.
Be careful what you wish for is true when what you say has double meaning or can be taken multiple ways. Asking for someone to disappear is pretty clear, but you will read what actually happens. It's like saying 'I wish everyone would just leave me alone!" Thats a wish that can be taken two ways. They could leave you alone by not annoying you or bothering you anymore or they could all disappear and leaving you literally alone. The wishes in the book were not like that.
The book itself is not bad. It caught my interest and was entertaining as usual, but what stupid wishes. If I had three wishes I'd wish for money...that will pretty much take care of my next two wishes...of owning a home and having a wife!

Meh, it takes three wishes for her life to go bad. My life goes bad without any wishes aha I cant believe I've read 20 of these books in a months!
its kind of addicting really. too bad I can't get my hands on these books anymore. Is this book like the one where you get to choose what you have to do next?
you mean the "Choose your own ending" books? No thats adifferent goosebumps series. I get all these books from Ebay. I am actually selling a bunch of them.
i really love those choose your own nightmare things.. hehehe. Ebay huh? I am on a tight budget right now so i can't really buy them yet. :p
its ok, I have a whole bunch. Once I get all 62 original Goosebumps I'll sell them all. Pretty awesome stuff. I Love Goosebumps
RL Stines pretty cool. :) I was like very addicted to these series before. We left our old home so some of my books were left behind. So sad.
