Product Description
You hold in your hand the key to a shadow world of shivers and screams. Take a step away from the safe, comfortable world you know. Unlock the door to terror. There’s always room for one more in… THE NIGHTMARE ROOM!
That’s Alex Smith, rushing past you, hurrying home to check out his journal. Why? Because Alex has never written a word in his journal, but yesterday, a mysterious entry appeared in the book – one that told Alex about the future. Alex can’t wait to read the journal tonight to find out if there’s anything new inside. Too bad he doesn’t realise that by opening that book, he’s opening the door to… THE NIGHTMARE ROOM!

Good book in the series, but not the very best.
20 May 2001
Format:Paperback
Alex likes to bet. It's his habit, and it often gets the better of him. He wants to be a millionaire when he grows up, and he can't wait to be one. But in school he likes to compete, too. He can't take the fact that a girl in his class can be so much better then him. So when his teacher asks him to write a diary, he's going to prove that he really can be the best in the class. But when he finds a strange, old diary in his basement, everything changes. This diary can predict the future -- and soon, Alex is winning every bet in the school. His peers think he can predict the future. And he really can -- and it's all because of his mysterious secret diary. Alex wants to get more and more money, but sometimes it's better not to know the future. Because the future can contain very unwanted surprises. I liked The Nightmare Room #5: Dear Diary, I'm Dead by R.L. Stine, but it wasn't the best because of the ending. That was just too expecting of R.L. Stine, reflecting his poor Goosebumps writing. But it was still very enjoyable, and a lot of fun to read.

One of the best Nightmare Room books.
31 Dec 2000
Format:Paperback
Twelve-year-old Alex Smith is always making bets with his friends and classmates, most of which he loses. The stakes are raised, however, when he bets Tessa, a girl who is in several of classes, that his diary, written for extra credit, will receive a higher grade than hers. What sets this bet apart from the others is that Alex bet Tessa $100. Now he's desperate. However, when he gets home and finds in his new desk a diary with an entry written by him for tomorrow, it feels as if his luck has changed. Suddenly he knows the future - and can win virtually any bet. Soon he's winning bets left and right. What Alex doesn't realize is that knowing the future comes with a price he may not be prepared to pay. This was one of my favorite books in the Nightmare Room series, topped only by Locker 13. I'd highly reccomend it to all R. L. Stine fans.
