    It was reprinted, once. You have the reprinted version. On the cover to the original print the color of the slime is red. The reprint’s slime color is grayish-blue.

    Lol, just last night I commented on Goosebumps Completionists' video saying I was gonna til you did a review to say a bit more about the book and here it is. And I typed that before I got to the ending of this video lol.
    This book is undeniably over complicated and weird, and some people don't like it but i liked it for that. I like how the pieces are clearly set up early on, and I like the thought put into some of the lore.
    It mostly feels like one of the better thought out ones. Some stuff is a bit odd, like a certain part lifted some Star Wars but otherwise I like this one, and it even has a kind of nice ending.
    Since you have the reprint, I should point out the original back blurb had a typo that the reprint fixed. (The original said "used to lived", the reprint fixes that)

    I didn’t know whether to get “Beware the snowman” cause it kinda looked like a cheesy kid’s book but because of your high rating I decided to buy it ☺️ And yes, I did enjoy this!! ❄️ I loooved the winter wonderland scenery the book was set in… it reminded me of Canada, where I was raised, and Finland, where I had lived- both snowy cold and beautiful countries.
    But unfortunately what I didn’t like about the book was the ending, which I obviously will not mention here 😊 it didn’t work for me at all, I was expecting something different/better, it kind of ruined the book for me😓 but that still doesn’t make it a bad book overall :) thank you for the video!

    I thought you'd like this book after I mentioned it. It was the only Goosebumps story that made me cry at the end, the ending really reminded me of the Jack Frost movie with Michael Keaton when Conrad revealed himself at the last couple pages. Very heartwarming in my opinion. :') The Star Wars reference was kinda cheesy though. XD

The winter setting and snow definitely added some spice to the story. The characters were entertaining & fun. I liked the ending, I thought it worked well. I wasn’t sure who to trust. Overall I thought it was a great book. Thanks for another great review dude! 🙏🏼📖
