I won this on a goodreads giveaway and my daughter (10 yrs) and I started reading it right away. Everyday she talks about the stories and is always telling everyone the jokes. I really like that there is everything in this book. There are scary stories, jokes, comics, recipes, and even a few science projects. I would recommend this to anyone. I Even caught my 13 year old reading it yesterday. I am going to check out the other Uncle John's series. Thanks!

This book was really good! IT had everything I expect from Uncle John's Bathroom Readers and I just love spooky tales with a touch of humour! This book is yet another example of why I can never resist a Bathroom Reader (and why I spend so much time in the bathroom once I've gotten my hands on one) and why enjoy them so much. I will continue to buy ever Bathroom reader Uncle John publishes and what I can get my hands on.

This is a terrible, half-baked collection of Halloween stories and activities. Kids are simply bored by the spooky stories, which resemble a collection of 5th grade creative writing assignment. "The Monkey's Butt" may well be the worst parody I have ever read.

The book was funny, but definitely for kids only!
