Goosebumps Most Wanted

review 1: Another super fun story from the brand-new Goosebumps series! I don't remember the original first or third Living Dummy books all that well, but the second one was one of my all-time favorites in the series.I'd say the premise of this one was better, though, because Slappy has somehow figured out how to actually possess people. I'm pretty sure there are few things in the world more frightening than a ventriloquist doll that can possess you. Just sayin'.
review 2: Son of Slappy by RL Stine is the second of the recently launched Goosebumps, Most Wanted Series. My son and his friends have discovered their school's ratty (meaning, well-read) copies of Goosebumps so I was curious to see how the new series compares to the older ones.The first Goosebumps series starte... mored well after I was out of the target age range but I heard of them through a younger cousin and read a few of the early ones, including Night of the Living Dummy (Goosebumps 7), the first of the Slappy books.Slappy is an evil ventriloquist's dummy. Honestly, except for "The Puppet Show" episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (season 1, episode 9), all ventriloquist's dummies are evil. But Slappy is perhaps the worst of the worst.Now for those who are complaining that Slappy was destroyed in a previous book; he's evil enough (and smart enough) to fake his own destruction. Now that he's been laying low in an old man's collection (quick — call for an intervention, this dude's a hoarder), Slappy has picked a Marty-Stu named Jackson who is so perfect no adult believes he's capable of doing any wrong. Little sister, though, with Slappy's help has her sights on his perfect reputation.It was a fun read and very much in keeping with the spirit and formula of the earlier books. less
