My almost 11yo LOVED this!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
My almost 11yo is a big science fiction/fantasy fan, but he doesn't like just anything. This and the other books in this series were big hits. He would read in any free moment till he finished each one.
Let's be fair...

I admit that I sometimes determine whether or not to purchase a book by reading the reviews. So, when I saw that this book had only one "review" (a bad one) I decided that I have to put in my two cents. I enjoyed reading this book, not as much as the The Black Book of Secrets, by the same author, but more than The Eyeball Collector, also by the same author. All three stories have a macabre feeling without getting too morbid. I would definately recommend to my sixth-grade students, if they want to read a story that is creepy and strangely disturbing (Elephant Man-esque).
