| User Summary: | You and your friends Josh and Megan win a trip to a castle in England and, of course, learn that it's haunted. |
| Demian's Thoughts: |
This is a fairly good book; the writing's pretty good and, though it really serves no purpose, the characters are fairly thoroughly developed. |
| Jordashebasics's Thoughts: |
Castle of Darkness is… pretty bad. More time is given to characters and description, at the expense of having a plot that feels intelligible. The story involves you and your friends, inexplicably enthusiastic about castles, going to visit a castle that has recently been opened to visitors. A creepy groundskeeper brings you around to the back of the castle, where you somehow end up participating in a once-every-hundred-years haunting event, which may or may not result in you being imprisoned in the dungeon for a hundred years. There are a few nice bits, but they aren’t common. You can get crushed by a gate. "… your last thoughts are of your friends, and then of home and school and skateboarding." I finished this book feeling like I had missed something substantial about the plot. |
