What do You think about Legend Of The Lost Legend (1996)?
Currently rereading my original Goosebumps collectionIs it just me, or are the later Goosebumps books really lacking in quality? If Legend of the Lost Legend is anything to go by then that's pretty much spot on. This feels like a number of shorter stories clumsily thrown together into one book and it falls apart fairly quickly. The ending felt like it was literally a last minute decision and that's the best he could come up with. I'm hoping the series improves after this catastrophe.Read from July 14, 2014 - July 14, 2014

When Marissa, Justin, and their daddy goes to Europe, weird things starts to happen. One day at night when they were camping, their daddy fell asleep and marissa and her brother were awake. They couldn't sleep because they heard these snarling growling sounds that sounded like a dog. Justin wanted to see what it was, but marissa refused for him to go, but he went anyway. Justin poked his head out of the tent and spotted a white dog. The dog had a collar on, and a note was attached to that collar. Justin courageously went out of the tent and took the note. On the note it said," I know what you are looking for. Follow silver dog". Of course Justin wanted to go, but marissa didn't want to leave her daddy all alone. When Justin started to walk in the dark dangerous looking forest, marissa wanted to make sure that her brother was safe so she followed him. As silver dog leaded them to a cabin, Justin and marissa didn't think that it would be safe to go in a strange looking cabin in the middle of a forest in Europe. But, marissa and Justin wanted to make their daddy proud, so instead they went into the cabin. A big plump lady was in the cabin petting silver dog and told the two siblings that if they wanted to find the treasure, they needed to take a test that started in the morning. As they slept in Ivannas cabin, they both found themselves in a strange looking forest. Ivannas said that they need to keep Lukas (her pet) close to them so they won't get lost. Marissa and Justin lost Lukas so they were on their own. They have been through a lot of trouble scince they were on their own. They've got mechanical mice swarming over them, and a huge cat almost ate them. When they both have finished the test, they went to Ivannas cabin and found out that Ivannas was fake. They also found out that luka is really a man disguised as a dog. When Luka gives them the treasure, they find out that the treasure isn't really the treasure that they were looking for. So, they went back in the cabin and told luka that they were i search for the legend of the lost legend. Luka told them where to go, and they finally found it, but when they read the first sentence it said," who ever owns the lost legend will be lost forever". And so on that day they were lost in the forest FOE ETERNITY. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some one get RL Stine for me. We really need to discuss these endings. Than again his books have sold well over 400 million copies, so these weird endings must be working. In this book we have a father traveling with his two kids, Justin and Marissa in search for the lost legend. The kids disobedient kids follow a dog late at night and that's where the science fiction stuff begins. Not a bad book. I was thinking this book would be something along the lines of Urban Legend films, but it wasn't. Nothing really funny, its mostly suspense. I think the characters could have used a bottle of personality to drink, because there wasn't really anything interesting about them except for Locus, Lucas, Luka whatever the name was. The title nor the cover made me want to read the book, just didnt seem that interesting, but am glad it turned out better than I had thought.
