rashi_4444's review against another edition
3.0
It was a short read with short chapters – always a favourite part about books. I would say that I didn’t enjoy this story as compared to the previous books. The other books that I read were better than this one. I liked the idea of the book but so many things just were not making sense. So many things were left unexplained and the ending was not surprising as in other books. It was kind of lame.
Like at the end the mirror was destroyed and bad people were gone but one wasn’t and he was the one to destroy the mirror. It was clear that if the mirror was destroyed then bad people would go away then what about that one person. But it’s fine. It is a very old book and short read so this can be ignored.
If you want a short read then you can pick it up but if you want to read something horror then it is not a horror story. I rated it 3.

I actually really loved this one! It kept me interested from start to finish and while it wasn't 'scary' to me I still have a little shiver going on at the thought of that damn mirror!

I've been enjoying the simple tension of the classic Goosebumps books, but this one was the weakest yet. Still fine, but nothing notable - with so many books written by R.L Stine, he is gonna have some weaker ones.

Though I've been a fan of Goosebumps since I was a kid, I don't remember ever reading this particular book. Being a gloomy day outside, I thought it'd be nice to curl up and finally read it.
I know that this is a children's book, but this one actually made me a little anxious. I could empathize with Max being a worrywart and constantly fighting and giving into peer pressure as all of his friends wanted to try out the mirror over and over again. The thought of being forced into another dimension where you'd be trapped in there forever was also quite scary! I finished this rather quickly, all in one sitting, because it felt so anxiety-inducing.
My only complaint is that it felt a little monotonous at times; page after page of arguing and competitions and "no, you!". It added to the story at first, but after awhile, it became a little frustrating. I was overall pleased with this book though, despite it's low ratings.
