Joe's dad loves his tacky lawn ornaments. He loves things like pink flamingos and animal family is made out of plaster. But when he brings home two lawn gnomes the trouble begins. Vegetables squashed in the garden, weird sounds at night and other strange things seem to be pointing to the lawn gnomes as the culprits. But they're only fake ornaments aren't they? [b: Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes|125619|Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes (Goosebumps, #34)|R.L. Stine|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1328867833s/125619.jpg|1184655] is a book so ridiculous it often gets brought up in discussions on Goosebumps. Apparently it made for a very frightening Goosebumps television show episode, though I have yet to see it. Those little innocuous lawn gnomes, coming to life to terrorize your garden and get you grounded for life. The stuff of nightmares? For some people, maybe. Perhaps more people in the Goosebumps universe need to look at this: I really don't know. Anyway, [b: Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes|125619|Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes (Goosebumps, #34)|R.L. Stine|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1328867833s/125619.jpg|1184655] is something that seems like it would be far more effective as a B movie than a book. With the right lighting, music, and hammy acting it could be brilliant fun. As a read, however, it falls a bit flat. The lawn gnomes aren't really menacing, and the obsession with gardening is just eye-roll worthy rather than chilling. Also, what on earth is a casaba melon? I don't think spraying tomatoes three times from three separate bottles a day will really make them huge. I don't know, man. I just don't know. This was another one of those fun but not creepy Goosebumps books. I’m not going to lie, even though I should hate the gnomes, I really don’t. I thought they were kind of funny. Joe was pretty great too, but I didn’t like his sister or his best friend. The gnomes were definitely the best part of the whole book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

My thoughts? Meh. This one was kind of lame. It's not the best book, but it is creepy and spooky. I will give it R.L. Stine that I am sure many other people will find this creepy (especially the middle grade readers, who are the market/audience this book is made for), but I just wasn't all that bothered by it. I was kind of bored, but still intrigued about what was going on. The cliffhanger had me way more interested than the actual story! Either way, still a great addition to the series, but not my favourite.
Two out of five stars. ( )
