Give Yourself Goosebumps #3: Trapped in Bat Wing Hall

By -
Basically in this book, you meet a guy who seems kind of nice and doesn’t mind that you’re a new kid in town. He decides to take you under his wing and make you part of his group. They sit around telling horror stories at a place named Bat Wing Hall and trying to scare each other.

Once you arrive though, they don’t want you there. They want to play some scary games and new members aren’t allowed to play. You beg for a chance and they decide to give you a shot. You end up going into a secluded crypt at the local cemetery and read a warning about bat bones. When you wake up that night, you’re roughly the size of a bat and need to get back to normal.

*I reached the end with one of my first choices. I then did a few other times through the book and never did reach a happy ending. I don’t think there’s even the slightest bit of a happy ending here.

*The biggest annoyance is that there is way too much flipping going on! Every page is a section on its own, so you read one page and have to flip to another, read that and flip again. I went from page 1, to page 129, to page 77, then back to 18 and so on. Very annoying.

*Sadly I have a few more books like this, but I have no clue how to recap them. Any ideas?

    Ha! I loved the "Choose your Own Adventure" books! I had a ton of them, but I didn't know there were Goosebumps ones.

    I did the same thing that London did. I went back through until I went through every possible story line and ending there was. They were great! I wish I could find some more of those. I only have one left.

    I remember this one...and if I remember correctly...isn't one of the kids a girl who has a habit of chewing on her hair? Disgusting.

    I've started blogging these by describing the plot I read and commenting on my attempts to get to a good ending

The Immortal (Christopher Pike)

This was one of my favorite Christopher Pike books when I was younger. The whole ground glass in the hamburger thing really freaked me out and I was always eyeing the person who made my hamburgers suspiciously. Then I read some article in college about how ground glass actually can’t kill you because your body just digests it and pushes it out. It kind of made me a little pissed off at Pike… Josie and Helen are best friends, but in that high school way, where they actually don’t really like each other. Helen’s family is kind of poor, but that didn’t stop them from sending her to Greece the summer before. Now they’re going back, thanks to Josie’s dad. He’s a screenwriter and traveling with his stuckup, prissy girlfriend Silk. The book flashes back to two women and I bet you know where this is going. Sryope and Phthia were two women living during ancient times. Phthia was obsessed with a guy who Sryope secretly loved. She made him indebted to her and then got bored and ran off with other...

Monster (Christopher Pike)

I’ve read this book a few times lately and every time, go into it thinking that I don’t really like it, but then I remember that I do. Maybe because there aren’t any sci-fi elements or aliens in it! Well there are alien like things, but not like in his later books. Angela is a fairly new kid at school, who somehow gets invited to a party with all the popular kids. Her best friend Mary walks into the party, brandishing a shotgun. Without saying a word, she blows away football player Todd and cheerleader Kathy. Five seconds later, she points the gun at her own boyfriend Jim. Angela stops her by screaming and Mary retaliates by kicking her in the face. Jim, who’s basically a big pussy, runs off into the woods, with Mary hot on his tale. Angela follows and runs into Lieutenant Nguyen, who listens to what she says and then goes after Mary. Angela wanders into the woods and runs into Jim. Mary pops up and tells them that Jim “isn’t human” and nearly kills him, before Nguyen stops her. Nguyen...

Eye Candy (R.L. Stine)

This post is getting TONS of attention due to the MTV television show. For those who recently found my blog, please keep in mind that this review is nearly two years old. I'll comment when you comment, but I've read so many books since then that this one isn't very fresh in my mind. Part One: Eye Candy opens with our unknown killer out on a date with a girl named Alesha who he met through a dating website. Every time she asks him a question, he responds and thinks to himself how he's lying to her. After coffee, they decide to grab dinner, but he can't help looking at her man hands, which he calls Hulk hands, and how she laughs just like his mom. They head back to her apartment, and she immediately throws herself at him. They kiss a little and he then proceeds to choke her to death in her apartment. As if that wasn't enough, he takes a knife from her kitchen and cuts off each of her fingers, thinking they feel like asparagus. The killer then reveals...
