Book Review #10

This book starts off by introducing a girl called Ivy Jensen. She was sound asleep one night when she heard a thrashing noise coming from her parent's bedroom. Ivy jolted forwards in shock. As she sat up she heard more noises, a gasp, a sputter and a moan. Then, the silence broke by an unfamiliar male voice. He said, " And now it's your turn, you won't feel a thing." Ivy's mother screamed, " Please no, don't do this, I have a....".  Since that night, Ivy couldn't stop thinking about what her mother wanted to say. Did she want to say that she had a child or that she had a wallet full of cash, it remained a mystery. After a few seconds, music started to play. Ivy grabbed her phone as quickly as she possibly could and dialled 9-1-1. She whispered, " I think someone just killed my parents." The operator asked her where she was and she nervously said that she was in her room, across the hall from her parent's room. The operator asked Ivy what her address and they sent someone over asap! Ivy started to lose her grip and dropped her phone on the hardwood floor, causing a big BANG. Ivy's bedroom light was not on but when the door cracked open, the light from the hallway leaked into her bedroom. The killer could see Ivy but she couldn't see him. " Good evening princess" he whispered. The killer's hair was long and silver, tied into a low ponytail. His face was covered in stubble. He lifted his head, and smiled at Ivy which caused his pointy tongue and crooked, yellow teeth to show. They both froze for a moment. The killer proceeded into Ivy's room and looked around at everything. Seconds later, the killer's eyes were fixed on Ivy and he said, " it's very nice to meet you ". Ivy felt a chill down her spine and she wanted to throw up. Sirens filled the silence and the killer froze for a few seconds. He then ran out of there house and got away with his crime. Six years later. Ivy has changed her identity and lives in a foster care home. She still fears that the killer might be out there and will come back for her one day. 

Questions:

Will the killer get caught for what he had done to Ivy's parents?
Will the anonymous killer come back for Ivy one day?

I rate this book a 10/10.

I liked how the start of the book kept me in suspense and hooked me in straight away. The way this book is written made me want to read on to find out what happened next. I am halfway through this book and I have never once felt like it started to get boring. There was plenty of twists and turns that I didn't see coming to keep me hooked in.

There was nothing I disliked. 
  

GOOSEBUMPS - The Wizard of Ooze 10 / 20 By R.L Stine

Genre: Horror

Marco Gonzales is a kid who is obsessed with the Ooze who is a famous comic super villain with the power to ooze his enemies in hot oil sludge. When he visits Jonathan Chiller's Horror Shop inside Horrorland, he finds the rarest edition of the Oozes Comic ‘The Wizard of Ooze’ along with a bookmark just lying around and Marco even gets it for free. Inside the book told you how to get superpowers and saying to find the power within you but Gabriela (Marco’s friend) says it’s just fake but Marco tries it anyway because he's obsessed. He soon finds out that they actually work but the powers only lasted 10 seconds and ended he up with a bloody nose, ripped clothes, and some numbness. The Comic Convention was on so Marco and Gabriela head in and end up meeting the Ooze who is really interested in Marco's Comic who doesn't want to give it away. When the two leave they feel like someone's following them. The Ooze is on Marco's trail threatening him to give up the comic but something tells him that he was the real Ooze because of the smell of tar and the oil sludge that the Ooze leaves behind. Will Marco find the power within him and defeat the Ooze, or will Marco become sludged like the guys in his comic book collection for REAL!!!

I liked how the Comic Book was able to actually give you superpowers and that the bookmark was something that was need to make the powers permanent instead of lasting for 10 seconds.

I didn’t like how there were only some pages because it really got interesting and if the character ‘Winner Taikall’ was involved in the story more.

Rate: 5 / 5 because it was such an enjoyable book to read.
