Book Reviews of Ask the Bones: Scary Stories from Around the World
Book Review: Ask the Bones
Summary: 4 Stars
Ask the Bones is a combination of many stories from around the World. Some of the stories I like for example are Ask the Bones from the Caucasus Region, Nowhere to Hide from Russia, The Black Snake from Persia, And the Invisible Guest from Germany. Each of the stories in the book are about 7 pages long. These stories are some of the scariest I've ever read. Trust me I read lots of scary stories. I liked this book over all and would give it 4 stars. The only thing I would improve would be more stories for more fun. I would recommend this book to people who like scary stories. It is a good book. I especially liked Nowhere to Hide because it is scary and surprising because you won't know what will happen. I also liked it because it got you to keep reading and I read it multiple times. I liked the Black Snake because it is exciting. It had the kookiest things happening.
