Title: 'Nightmare Hour' Author: R. L. Stine Date: 15 January 2010 Genre: Horror Rating: * (5=great... 1 = don't touch!)

Plot Summary: This book was a collection of short stories. My favourite one was about a boy who went into hospital to get a cast put on his broken leg. Instead, the doctors thought he was someone else and he was taken to surgery to have his leg removed.

Personal Response: I really like this book because every story catches you by surprise. You never really know what is going to happen and it makes me wonder what the people who write these books must be like in person - maybe unpredictable, fun-loving. The characters in the stories are my age which makes the stories more relevant to me.
