Between the conclusion of author R. L. Stine’s talk and me waiting to meet him, I read almost the entire book. You can tell he wrote so many children’s books, but don’t let the perceived lack of depth stop you. It’s been almost thirty years since Stine wowed me with the Goosebumps series, and this adult novel of his is equally gripping. I told Stine in person how I couldn’t put this down, and he was pleased.
