"Hey, let's read the entire Curtisville series at 1 in the morning, Tyber!"

"Gee wiz, that's a great idea, Tyber's brain!"

No it's not.

This was the first installment in the series to truly get my heart a'pounding. Tearing away from the all-girl cast, I see the author depicting the troubled new home life of two brothers and their closet full of rats. Although the dialogue between the boys was at times quite cheesy, I still felt that subliminal fear as I empathized with the older brother. It's a tricky thing, when you realize that your little siblings' nightmares might be more then just bad dreams, and the author portrayed that in a way that kept me keeping an eye on my own closet...just in case.

Another nifty thing that this tale accomplished; making me afraid of rats. Never before have I even been bothered by the beady-eyed little dewds, but the authors' descriptions of the writhing, saber-toothed hellspawns was really...very good.

I wasn't planning on sleeping tonight anyway, and that's good because I still have a ways to go. On to the next chapter!
