The series 2000 seem more intense than the other Goosebumps series. I liked this one more than The Horror of the Black Ring (#18), but so far my favorites of this series would have to be Bride of the Living Dummy (#2), The Haunted Car (#21) and Slappy's Nightmare (#23).

As much as I adore black cats (my last cat was a black one and the sweetest cat ever!) this book seemed like it should have been longer and better written which is why I not gave it 3 stars. It just wasn't worthy of a black cat, at least to me it seemed that way. Black cats are the stuff of legend. Back when I was reading R. L. Stine,I thought this book was great and I got a chill from black cats, but now I'd rather be a proud owner of a black cat instead of reading as book about a horror story involving one.

Goosebumps. This is the series that kept me reading through my childhood. More than any other series, Goosebumps kept me interested in reading, and R.L. Stein is a wonderful children's writer. I applaud his efforts, and can't express enough my gratitude for the series.

Here we are, the first Goosebumps 2000 book, and my second ever one reading, and I gotta say - pretty good! Definitely a lot more darker than the OG series with some genuinely haunting imagery that would've messed me up as a kid. Rip the Cat is such a great name and pretty cool monster overall. The real standout for me though is Alison and Ryan's friendship. Always a sucker whenever Stine gives us a wholesome and platonic m/f friendship :)
