| User Summary: | You are visiting your Aunt Lily in Southern Florida, near the Everglades. You soon encounter a creature that looks like a giant, hairy ant -- and which spins webs. More and more of them appear, and soon they get hungry.... |
| stonemason's Thoughts: |
This book makes use of the same Aunt Lily character as book #140 (Horror House). What I found strange, though, is that both books have the same illustrator, and yet the Aunt Lily character in this book looks very different than the one in (Horror House. Here, she's a blonde rather than a brunette and has longer hair! Maybe she bleached it... Aunt Lily aside, this is an average adventure in the series. It's well written, but death is usually somewhat arbitrary -- there are two "halves" to the book, one for each option of the first choice, but it is impossible to win in one "half." I typically like adventures where the good and bad options make sense logically, if you think about them deeply enough. It's also somewhat dated, since it refers to Hurricane Andrew as if it were a very recent occurance. |
