Customer Reviews

Great & Scary

I read this book to my little brothers and they had nightmares for weeks so you may want to preview it before you let younger readers read it. It is a great story though and I was very entertained by the story of a robot who needs human eyes.

The Master Of Young Adult Horror!

John Bellairs is one of my favorite authors and his books are never disappointing. This is a particular favorite of mine by this late great writer. The weaving of myth and witchcraft into that intriguing time period in America when the Atomic bomb was a new thing is just fantastic. The greatest thing about Mr. Bellairs is that his books can evoke a kind of "happy fear" in the young readers that will pick up his books and that his style and stories stick with you forever. I just can't imagine growing up without reading his books. Delightfully scary with great characters. And Illustrations by Edward Gorey! You gotta love the way Bellairs writes and what he writes about. An awesome introduction into horror fiction. No matter how old you are you will love any book by Mr. Bellairs, especially this one about an evil robot! 1

The best bellairs book So Far!

This book is a great mystery featuring Johnny Dixon, Byron Fergeson, and the Proffesor. It is about a killer robot, and a new one in the making by the evil/insane Evaristun Sloane. A MUST READ

This was a very exciting book, one of his best

Evaristus Sloane invented a robot that was like a pitching machine a long time ago. But Johnny's grandpa didn't want it because he didn't like the way it's eyes look. Now, crazy Sloane is going to get back at him and he is going to use Johnny to do it!!!!

This is a great mystery

It really flows well, and it explains all of the occurences, except for a strange voice. I would recommend this to anyone who likes a good mystery
