This book is about a boy named Wes who decides that he wants to beat two "smarty-pants" twins at something, and it turns out that the something is a stereogram, which he stinks at. Weird things start happening after Wes buys the stereogram from a creepy store owner. Once Wes eventually figures out what the picture is, the real trouble starts; when the picture, a praying mantis, comes to life. This story is spooky, funny, and a thriller. It contains 120 pages of scares and laughter. I've never read anything like it. R.L. Stine writes really good books! I would recommend this awesome book to my friends because I think they would enjoy it. I just loved this book. It was so good that I never put it down! I enjoyed it because it had lots of twists and turns with a hilarious ending! 6/14/08
