[Book Review] Switched by R.L. Stine

October 23, 2017      Erica Robyn      14 Comments

Switched by R.L. Stine book review

Switched by R.L. Stine is a very intense story about two teenage girls. I found it a bit overly dramatic, but totally captivating! I just love R.L. Stine’s work!

This is a book that would be great for a readathon! I read it in about an hour.

My Thoughts on Switched by R.L. Stine

Phew, I forgot how dark and twisted these books could be! The description of the murders kind of shocked me, simply because I wasn’t expecting it.

This story was overly dramatic, a bit ridiculous, but totally captivating! And I absolutely did not see the ending coming… phew!

Found it the writing to be a bit repetitive, but luckily that didn’t take away from my overall feelings about the book.

If you’re looking for a quick and unsettling read, I highly recommend checking this one out!

    This does sound perfect for a readathon. R.L. Stein is coming to a nearby town this weekend for a book festival. I've contemplated going but don't know if it's going to work out. Great picture!

    I read a lot of the Goosebumps books when I was a kid – I think if I read them now, I'd wonder how they didn't give me nightmares!

    I haven't read an R.L. Stein book in years! Maybe I should get a few and read them to my kiddos? It's the perfect month for it!
