My son played R.L. Stine in a skit for his acting class and this book really helped him get to know the author.

Great book for amature writers!

I loved this book! It was full of dry (funny) humor and extremely interesting! It's written from RL Stine's point of view, and even shows pictures of his family. I said that's it's a great book for amature writers because, he talks about how he actually reads kid and teen magazines to get ideas to make his stories so realistic! Also, he talks about how he and his brother told each other really weird stories at night. This plus a discovery in the attic is what jumped started his career, but I won't give it away. No wonder his stories are so great! I always wondered why. I am an adult fan of his books, and this is why I picked this book up at a school's library that I was subbing at. I am glad I did, what a great read!
