How far will I get in my quest to occasionally read through the original Goosebumps novels of my childhood?

Who hasn't imagined what it would be like to be invisible? What would you do if you and your friends discovered a way? Max, his younger brother Noah, and Max's three friends from school make this discovery. The invisibility proves temporary time and time again. A competition emerges. Each kid has to beat the longest time being invisible. Max and April aren't as thrilled as the others, but they still participate. What happens? Who wins? Read and find out.

3.75 for this one, I enjoyed it quite a bit and definitely more than the last few titles read in the series. Was a bit repetitive in the middle, but ended up really enjoying where it went (and it actually creeped me out!! Impressive). Another fun read in this series.

I will be copy-pasting this for every Goosebumps novel I'll be reading.
On a whim, I decided to read all of the Goosebumps books. Some of them I've read before but, for the most part, I haven't. I won't be giving any stars; this doesn't mean anything about my actual opinion for the books, it only means that I don't think I can realistically, objectively rank 62 books which are not even meant for my age. I did enjoy the ones I read as a child and I am enjoying the ones I'm reading now, so that's what matters, I believe. Yes, there are some repetitive patterns and, yes, the endings are sometimes silly and, yes, R.L. Stine may not be the best of writers. Still, I feel like I have to commend him for two things in particular: first, for bringing the horror genre early on into our lives and, second, for subtly dealing with important family issues, such as moving away, a parent loosing a job, a accident happening etc. And I think the huge success of these books speaks volumes. So, I'll just be enjoying reading them in the following couple of weeks, not reviewing or evaluating them.

This was a good one. The feelings of dread when Max was invisible were very creepy. I appreciated all of the suspense leading up to the end (even if the end was predictable, in usual Goosebumps style).
