The Eyes of the Killer Robot

Review: The Eyes of the Killer Robot

Among the most unique and unnerving tales John Bellairs had created "The Eyes of the Killer Robot" has took it's place as most memorable for me. In 6th grade, I took a peek in the library one dismal afternoon and found, hidden discreetly, a YA cover book with the title "The Eyes of the Killer Robot". I had read John Bellairs' books before, but after seeing the front cover I sighed in dismay. This was not going to be as exciting or bloodthirsty as it could be.
But-Not-As-You-May-Think!
I turned the pages reluctantly and immediately found Professor Childermass "Razzing and Bench-Jockeying" New York Yankee Cliff Bullard.
Quickly, the pages bristled with excitement and rapidly turned themselves over. Johnny's encounter with the eyeless man, Mrs. Tremblay's mauling, Professor Childermass realizing who Dr. Pimlico was, and Professor Childermass's rotten temper all make Bellairsia trademarks for this book.
When everything is done and the last page was turned I give this book a 9 out of 10 for
a. Originality,
b. Suspense, and
c. Pure wit
