About book No Way Out - And Other Scary Short Stories (2000)
3.5 stars. I downloaded this book from amazon for free. These short stories were good, I like them, especially the second one, but they only took up about 35% of the whole book. So I guess if I paid for this book, I will give it 3 stars instead. 如果我是花钱买的，那就最多只能是3星，因为全书有65%都是其他两本书的preview。如果他整本书都是那种小故事，我可以给到4星。因为那些小故事我还是很喜欢的。ps，第二个故事是我最喜欢的一个。 This is a very well written book containing three short stories on the light terror theme, for kids and young adults. First story (No Way Out) is intense and has a simple plot. Two kids bet who would go inside a haunted house. The description of the scenery is excellent and the outcome is unpredictable. Second story (The Price of Friendship) is also good, although not that much scary. Two kids trade goods for "useless memories" and the consequences are to be seen. Third story (Hobgoblin Horror) reaches again the intensity level of the first story. Two kids hear this tale from an old guy in an hospital. He was a war hero and told the kids about this hobgoblin, a kind of assassin monster. But unfortunately for the kids they did not pay much attention to the story. All three short stories are very entertaining in their own way. They will keep you reading for a couple of hours.Besides those three short stories, the author also provides a preview of two other short stories, the "Super Zombie Juice Mega Bomb" and the "Zack & Zoey's Alien Apocalypse".I recommend this book to any young adult that has some spare hours in a Saturday afternoon or evening and wants to get entertained before going to bed. Just be aware that nightmares with cats are possible!

Didn't enjoy this at all. Definitely geared for a younger crowd in my opinion.

Pretty cheesy. Not even a touch creepy or suspenseful.
