⭐ Another collection filler. Don’t read this unless you’re really bored, and stranded with this book on a long car ride. It is not scary, and not even funny. I think this one was also not written by R.L. Stine, like Chicken Chicken. I think he was too busy with the Give Yourself Goosebumps series at this point, and asked someone else at Scholastic to write them for him. R.L. Stine said that these two books are ones for readers who don’t want to be scared, and he didn’t even write them.

⭐ Arrived quickly and as described.

⭐ Granddaughter needed a book to finish her assignment. She enjoyed.

⭐ I was so excited when i found this book online. I bought it for my niece in hopes that she’ll enjoy it as much as i did. Could barely tell that it had been used.

⭐ The book was new and packaged great. The only drawback was the item took longer that I expected to arrived.

⭐ This was my favorite Goosebumps book as a child. Came super quickly in great condition,. Even had playing cards still inside! Thank you!

⭐ Item as described and prompt delivery.

⭐ fun book my kids love it

⭐ Despite the premise (and cover) having more in common with Goosebumps’ more humorous stories, Egg Monsters from Mars is a series highlight in its gross-out horror. The story is born from classic genre B-movies, with the aliens of the title plopping down from Mars all over Dana Johnson’s neighborhood. During his sister’s birthday egg-hunt, Dana finds one of many mysterious blue eggs that pulses with a warm (and gross) heartbeat. Overnight, a eggy ball of gloppy goop hatches in Dana’s sock drawer, spreading yellow slime wherever it moves.It’s disgusting, and R.L. Stine makes use of gross-out descriptives (pulsing, throbbing, sucking slimy sounds) to full effect. The monster’s intentions are unknown, and Dana takes it to a nearby laboratory hoping to learn more about the gross little creature.Trusting the lab’s lead scientist, however, is a mistake. While he learns more about the creature, Dr. Gray traps Dana in order to study the effects of these Martians on people. Dana’s kidnapping borders on torturous, only adding to how effective the creep factor is in this one.Dr. Gray is an awful human being, with no concern for the rights of human subjects. He was terrifying, but I hated his inclusion. By saying it’s his “job” as a scientist to kidnap Dana, it paints a very false, very negative image of science and scientists that I couldn’t get behind. I hated this aspect, but loved everything else about this entry. Overall, it was a step up from the preceding books where Stine seemed to be showing his tiredness with the Goosebumps formula.6/10

⭐ Not indicative at-all of the Goosebumps genre sophistication. It mainly sounds like it is non-sociable POV, which is not an image that I hope to pass along to teens and young readers. The main character gets into trouble ( as is typical of the series ) by not doing what everyone else is doing, but what everyone else is doing is ultimately very chaotic and illogical. There’s some sort of strange teaching of lessons by adult avoidance of responsibility and punishment of education, but instead of wrapping up to be a fun adventure, it is left on an awkward note with no purpose, rhyme, or reason. It is not indicative of a novel. The ending is gross and inappropriate. The worst part, it that the book is indicated for ages starting at 6, and children should be able to read it on their own by 9 years of age, according to a test of a 40 peer group. I DO NOT find these numbers to be in line with actual academics. In fact, one of the lessons in the reading is “leave others alone and don’t test on them”, which is hypocritical. There also seems to be a coded/hidden message about dieting and eating … for 6 year olds. My guess is that the next problem that you’d have to tackle will be anorexia if you choose to read this. My child’s reaction was horror, but of the concepts brought up, which he had no experience, NONE. So, perhaps the sentence structure reading level is a fifth grade reading level, but the content is for hardened adults, convicts, someone along those lines. It is not for kids. Some wise suggestions if you have kids that you think such content might help them “learn” something — if they put things in their mouth you take it away, don’t ignore them or leave them alone, etc. Other Goosebumps are more fun-loving, adventurous, and event-scary, not trying to scare people from life but instead embracing of what scares us and empowering.
