Holy crap what an immense waste of time! You’re better off laying down for a nap than taking an hour to read it. I can tell you that the story ends with Matt’s mom surprising him with the fact that she decided to give him the guest room and Matt screaming his head off about the situation.Īnd then, thankfully, Don’t Go To Sleep ends.ĭon’t read Don’t Go To Sleep.
He then becomes normal again and in the right dimension by… I honestly have no idea, my brain had fizzled out by this point in the narrative. Matt ends up escaping the Reality jail by going to sleep again (even though they should probably fucking monitor that!) and becoming small enough to squeeze through the bars. If grown ass men in the real world get the old “boys will be boys” for raping women, I think a twelve year old that accidentally breaks the time/space continuum can be shown a little slack!
Dont go to sleep goosebumps how to#
Doesn’t the kid even get a trial?! C’mon, he did it by accident! He didn’t know what he was doing beforehand or how to stop it once it started. They’re going to “put him to sleep” for his crimes of breaking the reality rules. Then he’s a monster that eats a car.ĭid Stine write some of his books just to see if he could get away with it? Or to test if his editor was actually reading them? Because that’s what Don’t Go To Sleep feels like.Īpparently all this dimensional hopping nonsense is against the time/space continuum “rules” and Matt ends up arrested by… *sigh* the Reality Police. Then he’s the youngest sibling of a twelve sibling circus act and is nearly eaten by a lion. Then he’s an eight year old who winds up an only child with new parents. First he’s a teenager and he struggles through a day of highschool. This whole story revolves around Matt going to sleep and waking up in a different life than his own. When he wakes up… *sigh* When he wakes… *pinches bridge of nose as I contemplate why I willingly decided to read this book* When he wakes up… he’s the eldest sibling because the guest room is some sort of dimension hopping guest room. Matt decides that he’s sleeping in there despite what his mother says and, that night, goes to sleep in the forbidden fucking guest room. Jesus Christ this whole fucking family! That’s the most non-reason reason I’ve ever heard given for such an inconsequential desire!īut, as it turns out, it isn’t inconsequential at all. If anything, I feel for Greg having to be in charge of Matt, not Matt having to be looked after by Greg! Can you tell I was the oldest of four?Īnyways, Matt’s big drama is that he wants to move into the guest room because it’s bigger than his bedroom but his mom won’t let him because his grandparents sleep in that room once a year when they visit for Christmas. All the hard shit falls on the eldest because they’re often forced to babysit and mature on behalf of the other siblings. Okay, first off, fuck you! The youngest of the family always does whatever the fuck they want because they’re the baby. Things like how his room is too small, how Greg and Pam torment him as the babysitters, and how he’s just generally forced to do things he doesn’t want to do because he’s the youngest. Greg is in grade eleven and Pam is in ten, so our POV was clearly an accident because no one chooses to have children that far apart from each other. There’s his widowed mother who has to work two jobs to keep her family afloat, his eldest sibling Greg, and the middle sibling Pam. Matt, our twelve year old POV, is the neglected youngest sibling in a family of four. And the ending? The climax of this story?īut we’ll get to that. There’s a somewhat promising idea underneath the narrative, but every last thing in the story is filler to get us to the next pointless part.
Why, Stine, why? If you didn’t have enough ideas for sixty-two books, you should have written less than sixty-two books! Don’t Go To Sleep is such filler. And every time he falls asleep, he wakes up in a new nightmare… The Story On the Pages Because when Matt wakes up, his whole life has changed. He sneaks into the guest room and falls asleep. It’s so small it’s practically a closet! Still, Matt’s mom refuses to let him sleep in the guest room. Did I Read It as a Child?: No The Story On the Back
