So the other day I'm reading a Goosebumps novel.
Some may say, "Can you really call it a novel?"
Well, it's a book; isn't it?
I'm reading it, and I'm enjoying it. Because its really awful writing. Is it wrong of me to like reading really crappy books? Is it wrong? Is it really? Is it really wrong?
It's called "Say Cheese and Die".
The first thing about Goosebumps is that the picture on the cover has nothing to do with the book. It's not that the picture has absolutely nothing to do with book. It's really just misleading. The cover had some skeletons eating some hamburgers. It was a photograph of skeletons on a picnic. That's not really that scary.
If you were around a campfire and someone was shining the light on their face, with the shadows cast on his face, he says, "And the skeletons were eating cheeseburgers!"
This isn't the kind of scary where you grab your boyfriend... Or would it be?
But anyway, I'm reading the story and this kid finds a magical camera. When he takes pictures, it shows bad things that are going to happen.
Except I didn't get to finish the book. My book elitist "friend" who doesn't appreciate Goosebumps took the book and hid it. I don't know how it ends. So if anyone knows how "Say Cheese and Die" ends, post it up.

Sometimes a crappy book is just what you need.
