3.0 out of 5 stars Ehhh, it's OK, Jul 5 2001

It's OK. I really didn't like this girl Tessa. She got on my nerves big time. The idea was really cool. I kept wanting to read. But the ending made me say "huh?" I was a little disappointed there. Some of the book is laughable; a lot more could've been done with this great idea.

By	Saud (Hyrule) - See all my reviews

This is the worst book in the Nightmare Room series up to date. A kid called Alex is a betting freak.He gets this new desk and walla,there is a diary in the desk drawer that tells the future. So he starts winning bets and knowing the future.I am disappointed in the plot,it's so unoriginal.I'd suggest you skip this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book in the series, but not the very best., May 20 2001

By	"shayamorph" - See all my reviews

Alex likes to bet. It's his habit, and it often gets the better of him. He wants to be a millionaire when he grows up, and he can't wait to be one. But in school he likes to compete, too. He can't take the fact that a girl in his class can be so much better then him. So when his teacher asks him to write a diary, he's going to prove that he really can be the best in the class. But when he finds a strange, old diary in his basement, everything changes. This diary can predict the future -- and soon, Alex is winning every bet in the school. His peers think he can predict the future. And he really can -- and it's all because of his mysterious secret diary. Alex wants to get more and more money, but sometimes it's better not to know the future. Because the future can contain very unwanted surprises. I liked The Nightmare Room #5: Dear Diary, I'm Dead by R.L. Stine, but it wasn't the best because of the ending. That was just too expecting of R.L. Stine, reflecting his poor Goosebumps writing. But it was still very enjoyable, and a lot of fun to read.
