In my opinion the book The Scream Museum was excellent. This book was full of suspense and mystery.The setting of this book was well described. Characters in this book was also well described. I would recomend this book to any one who loves murder mysteries. Also to any one who would like to sit patiently and read such a great book.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Scream Museum, Feb 24 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Scream Museum, The: P.C Hawke Mysteries (Paperback)

I thought the Scream Museum was a slow, boring book. I wouldnt really recommend it to anyone, unless they really like those suspence books alot. It was about a boy, P.C Hawke, who dreams of being a detective. When there is a murder at the Museum of Natural History, where his father works, he jumps on the case. Tom, who is the custodian at the musuem, is accused of the murder but P.C knows that Tom wouldnt hurt a fly. He along with his best friend, Mackenzie, try to find the real murderer and prove Tom innocent. They believe that it must have been one of the two co-workers who are now fighting for the womans job. Can P.C and Mackenzie prove Tom innocent?

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Story, Poor Logic, Nov 24 2001

By	A. Skillen (Missouri, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Scream Museum, The: P.C Hawke Mysteries (Paperback)

Zindel does not meet his usual quality of writing in this book. In the first chapter, P.C. says that his father left town yesterday, then says that his father's been out of town for a week. I also doubt that P.C., a high school junior, would have Jesus, a 13-year-old computer wiz, for a best friend. And the relationship with Jesus seems to be for P.C.'s benefit primarily. I will warn my junior high students that this book is not as good as others by Paul Zindel before they read it. I don't know whether I will invest in the rest of the series for my classroom library or not. The story was entertaining, but I feel that Zindel did not take the time to think carefully during the writing process. Take your time, Paul - you have great ideas to get kids reading!
