Part of that might have been that I had a dollhouse on my dresser and I sat the book down next to it before I went to bed and then I lay there wondering if the dolls were going to come to life and murder each other. Quite traumatic! I don't even remember a disabled sister. It was all about the kill kill.Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-48836456627825490212012-04-12T19:36:55.740-05:002012-04-12T19:36:55.740-05:00FOr some reason, the idea of this and the cover ju...FOr some reason, the idea of this and the cover just FREAK ME OUT!Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-80717213469723470972012-04-12T01:48:29.208-05:002012-04-12T01:48:29.208-05:00I read this book when I was younger but I don'...I read this book when I was younger but I don't remember it much.

That cover exactly, too! I think I loved it, but I don't remember. It's funny because now that I think of it, I read more creepy books when I was younger (such as Wait Till Helen Comes, which was CREEPY), but now that I'm older, I just cannot stomach them at all! They completely freak me out.Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-2528174989207571592012-04-11T22:31:09.137-05:002012-04-11T22:31:09.137-05:00Holy hell.

I remember thinking it was a nice little story. Entertaining. Well-done. Not a prize winner, but a good read overall.<br /><br />I don't remember any of the children who read it complaining about the ending, though it's not something they would have noticed. It was a book they enjoyed reading, and then went back to devouring Goosebumps. :-PAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-14175371310377462452012-04-10T09:20:21.995-05:002012-04-10T09:20:21.995-05:00I also would be a little annoyed about the big rev...I also would be a little annoyed about the big reveal being botched like that. I need to have more of a solid clue as to who the culprit might be. I do think that the subplot of the mentally challenged sister sounds rather interesting, and like something that I would really get a lot out of. This book sounds extremely original, and like something that I need to look for, for my daughter, and myself. Fantastic review today! I really enjoyed reading your perceptions on this one.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8282761092944595871.post-85794936791623973162012-04-10T06:50:50.158-05:002012-04-10T06:50:50.158-05:00This book looks very familiar and sounds like some...This book looks very familiar and sounds like something I would have loved to read as an adolescent, so I am guessing I read it at some point but who knows.
