Reviews of Be Careful What You Wish For (1993)

Review by wormbook (2007-10-02)
I think this book was pretty good. It reminds me a lot of my middle school. People always picking on each other and everything like that. This book is about a klumbsy 7th grader, Samantha Byrd, who is always being picked on by her enemy Judith Bellwood. Sam meets a gypsy-girl and gets three wishes..but her revenge has a backfire. There's a good moral to the story "BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR"!!!

After had read the book, all I can say is this book has nothing scary to it. If R.L. Stine was trying to scare his readers, he did not suceed. All the main character did was phrase his wishes wrong which got him into a lot of trouble. Overall, if you do not like reading the books out of order, read this book, otherwise this book would not be a book that I would recommed.

i love all of r.l. stine's books and this is no exception. this girl gets 3 wishes, but none of her wishes are coming out the way she wanted. even her last wish goes all wrong.
she uses her wishes to get everything she ever wanted, but it turns out all wrong, yes she gets what she wants, but not the way she wanted it.

This book was ok, but I found it kind of hard to read and it took me long to read this book then any other goosebumps book. It wasn't that well written and it didn't explain things very well. Stine did a good job on the book, but he forgot stuff, such as a well researched plot, and the explaination of characters. But other then that it was good.
