Summary: A good action packed horror/mystery book
Comment: In "The Doom Stone," fifteen-year-old Jackson goes to visit his aunt (Sarah Cawley) near Stonehenge in England. Dr. Cawley is an anthropologist who studies skeletons of humans who have been dead for centuries. Soon Jackson spots a strange looking creature that looks like a living skeleton with huge red eye sockets and with slime oozing out of its nose. The creature, called Skull Face, is on a killing spree and it's up to Dr. Cawley, Jackson, Alma (a girl who lives close to Stonehenge in a crematorium), and the police to try to find the monster's weakness and find a way to kill it.
I've read a few of Paul Zindel's books, and I have to say that he is best at writing books like "The Doom Stone," "Loch," and "Rats." Of those 3, "The Doom Stone" is my least favorite, but it's still great. "The Doom Stone" is more of an action packed horror book and it lacks in plot at the end of the book a little bit. However, I still liked it a lot because it was action packed and it was hard to put the book down. If you like action packed horror books, I recommend reading "The Doom Stone."

Summary: Doom Stone
Comment: This book is a really good book. it's funny and at the same time scary.On the cover of the book is a picture of ''Skull Face''. He's a really ugly monster. He's like some kind of copy cat figure. He makes a ticking sound before he attacks,he can also read your mind.He's a really fast runner. Also his skin is transparent.when you look at him his eyes are small and red,his mouth is just nasty.His nose is ....well he reaiiy doesnt' have a nose it's just a bunch of drowl.The only one that can stop him is JACKSON!
If you like scary books, you'll like this one.

Summary: What Horrors Lurk beneath Stonehenge?
Comment: Fifteen-year-old Jackson teams up with Alma, a gravedigger's daughter, to investigate mysterious deaths caused by a gruesome prowler around England's famed Stonehenge attraction. Invited over by his anthropologist Aunt Sarah, the American youth is used to strange occurrences whenever he joins his aunt on some exotic expedition or excavation, but even he is not preprared for the repelling discovery of Skull Face.
Of course the British military is keenly aware of the secret source of the grisly events on Salisbury Plain; their goal is to reduce public consternation as much as possible, thus hiding the truth about the fantatic creature from the unsuspecting locals. These teenage
sleuths ferret information from odd sources and old parchment volumes in the cathedral library, swapping data with wise Aunt Sarah, who has been bitten and thus confined to a hospital. But how is it that Ramid, as she terms this vicious aberration of Nature, has survived for centuries below modern man's radar screen? How does he just Know things in the computer age? And what strange, malicious bond unites Dr. Cawley and the monster? Is there no way to stop his rampage of raw evil? What other secrets are festering deep in the bowels beneath the enchanted horseshoe circle of sarcens and trilithons? This is an action-packed YA adventure, which might stimulate research on the various theories of prehistoric Stonehenge. Chillling, for kids 14 up.
