User blog comment:ErnestoCabral2016/I Am Slappy's Evil Twin cover finally revealed!/@comment-4207976-20170311044449/@comment-28171460-20170311051927

I am sad to say that I agree- but for a different reason. I feel like the books themselves are written for a much younger audience than any previous books. I became painfully aware of this on the first/second page of the first SlappyWorld book.

This line in particular upsset me: "Do you know how to do the Slappy Dance? That’s right - you shake all over! Hahaha!" That one line makes me feel like the book is written for a very young child. Slappy adressing the reader makes the book feel more like an episode of Dora the Explorer than a Goosebumps book.

These books feel very watered down compared to the original series and especially Series 2000.
