Come on, Troy, there should be at least ONE good Series 2000 book, surely? What about The Haunted Car and Jekyll and Heidi?

First of all, in accord and concurrence with the Reference Guide comment above. DAS IST CORRECT.
Somewhat relatedly:

So I just noticed this line in this entry..
"I guess there might be a way to make a long description of someone else playing a video game interesting"

Well, my gloodness, you must've probably read this already, but just in case and for anyone who hasn't:

Highly, hyrule-y recommended.

I read The Night of the Giant Everything today. I actually liked it a lot - some very interesting red herrings/plot twists and easily the dumbest application of "science" in literary history.

I don't think I ever got this one. It... sounds like I wasn't missing much? But whenever Stine introduces alternative worlds, whether through mirrors or some other device, that's generally the point at which he abandons all pretence of logic, except the logic that nothing actually creepy or indeed interesting is allowed to happen until halfway through the book in order to build the suspense.

Also, someone at Scholastic actually gave you the HorrorLand books? That's high treason! I'm looking forward to seeing how you handle them.

Well, Stine needs scary material, and I assume he gets terrified every time he looks in the mirror. [/cheapshot]

A new Blogger Beware entry always thrills my Coke.

But seriously, fellows, this is no mere entry. This is where we see all of Series 2000 spill up in smoke.

If there's no actual retrospective, I'd at least like a top two (or three?) of the best and worst, and perhaps a grand total number of puking scenes.

Anyways, can't wait for HorrorLand. Finally, some entries I can read along with. I'm totally spilling my stoke.

It's funny that mirrors are the last 2000 book, since they play such a big part in HorrorLand (spoilers?). HorrorLand proves that the piece of literary advice Stine took closest to heart was "Write what you know". Even if you've already published what you know. But I guess that's why Stine has never spilled his broke.

Ah, a return to form. This makes me happy. A Series 2000 retrospective doesn't seem that necessary, though I suppose reflecting would allow you to put off having to read Horrorland for a little bit.

2011-04-26T16:40:45.353-07:00

Strangely I do remember getting this book. We were at the mall and I begged and pleaded for my parents to get the book. I didn't know it was the last Series 2000 book but I really, really wanted it, possibly because the preview in Earth Geeks made it sound awesome.

Then I got home, read it, and went the 6th grade equivalent of "What." My childhood might have died that day.

"Do you really want Troy to do a retrospective of the whole 2000 series? No, really?"

I realize it would be hard given that he only liked three or four of the books, but I'm a list-a-holic and can't subsist on individual reviews alone.

I want to marry you, Troy!
