Apart from R. L. Stine's books, which I'm a huge fan of, this is the first random book I've ever read in English, since it isn't my native language. I chose it because it's supposed to be a simple book, and it gave me moments to learn a few English words.
It's a children's horror anthology with 10 short stories, each between 10 and 15 pages long. I read one story every night before bed, and I finished the book in 10 days. All I can say is that it isn't a really great book. I can't say it's a bad book, but it's oddly written and honestly forgettable. Even a day after reading a story, it just slips from memory.
It's just about children solving unsolved mysteries in strange ways. It's nothing like Goosebumps. The stories aren't really scary, more like weird supernatural tales with somewhat random writing.
I wish I could share a short thought on each story, but they're all pretty forgettable, except Deadly Dreams, the only one I'd probably ever re-read. It's about a little boy's dreams that come true, but they're always about deaths. The story ends with a good, sweet twist.
That's about it. It's not a good book, but not a bad one either. It's just an okay book that's quickly forgettable.
My rating: 6/10
