Tiger sharks, perhaps the most dangerous (being considered the “garbage cans” of the sea) feed in schools, however, so I suppose I’ll ignore the fact Beach House implies that an entire school of man-eating sharks moves to a beach with heavy human traffic just for lulz. First of all, most shark species don’t live in schools, and none of the three most dangerous species do. “They won’t attack until they smell blood,” Buddy explains. Buddy and Maria swim within a few feet of a recently-moved-in school of sharks, and the sharks show no interest in their presence.

Like whoa.įor added fun, he doesn’t seem to know how sharks work. I feel horrible for you, fictional late eighties/early nineties women. Stine land have no healthy egos? No healthy relationships? No therapists? No parents who care if their daughters are abused? Nothing? Wow. Huh? Your abusive piece of shit boyfriend makes you feel special when he screams at the top of his lungs, breaks your things, and threatens you because you spoke to another male? You need your heads examined, R.L. The girls specifically state being frightened by their boyfriends’ raging tempers, possessive jealousy, threats and displays of violence.Īnd then, almost invariably, the next sentence will say that it makes them feel special.

But it seems like at least half his books, including this one, feature a main female character, high-school age, who is in a steady relationship with a boy she is terrified of. Stine books disturbing because half of his teenage female protagonists are in obviously abusive relationships.
