Did anyone ever read the
Fear Street books of R.L. Stine back in the day?? I remember reading one (
Bad Moonlight) and parts of some others....
Anyway -- there's this site I ran across where a blogger reviews those books and tends to skewer bad dialogue and weak/cheesy/simpering characters. There was
one particular rant in the review of
First Date I found eminently quotable:
Then Chelsea whines about moving to Fear Street and having to live in a creepy house and why can't her hair be straight like Mom's and why is her hair so mousy colored (for the record, I see a lot of mousy hair in these books and I'd like to remind Stine that fucking MOUSE is a not a color!)
A treasure trove of snark, really....
