Customer Reviews

Oh... how great this autobiography is!

This autobiography is awesome! I am in the middle of it right now and it gives a lot of information about Robert Lawrence Stine's life. I can't wait until the next chapter!

A great read

This book is really fun & interesting. R.L. Stine tells about why he likes scary things. You get to see his early works he did as a child. You also get to find out what "R.L." stands for and when his birthday is. Very informative! If your child is an R.L. Stine fan, this is the book for them.

I read it over and over again!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the life of a great author and a great man.He has influenced me to become a photogapher and a photojournelist.I recommend this book for any age group.This is truly a best seller.

A Hoot for Young Readers

I was searching for a first "Chapter Book" to give to my son, when another Mom and her daughter recommended this book. The hardback has a nifty 3-D panel on the front and it looked like it would excite your typical boy into cracking the cover. What a success! The only time the little fellow put the book down was when he was howling with laughter so hard that he dropped the book onto his toe. I could barely get him to sleep at night. His 12 year old sister loved the book, too. Our family highly recommends this book!
