The book I read, say cheese and die again by R.L Stine, is about a boy named Greg who has to try and convince his English teacher that his essay about him finding an evil camera is true after being given an F. In between trying to prove the camera is real some accidental events happen which cause the wait for Greg’s final grade A is delayed a while longer. When Greg finally gets the chance to prove that the camera he found with his friends Michael, Doug and Shari over the summer holidays is his teacher decides to not listen to Greg snatch the camera of him and take a photo of the whole class. Leading to a very sticky ending…
The reason the camera is called evil by Greg and his friends is because when ever a photo is taken is shows a horrible scene of the person who had their photo taken. For example, when Greg met a boy is his messy front garden. The photo is accidentally taken of the boy and shows the boy holding his foot in pain with an enormous nail through it. A few minutes later after the photo as been taken the scene actually happened.
My overall view of this book is that it is extremely interesting in many places and keeps you waiting/ guessing in parts. I enjoyed this book a lot. The vocabulary vas very wide and had some descriptive metaphors and similes throughout the book. I would recommend this book to 13 year olds to 16 year olds. I suggest this book to this group of people because of some of the very descriptive parts of horror and gore in it.
