Editorial Review:

Product Description:
At first, Johnny Dixon doesn't believe Professor Childermass's story about Evaristus Sloane, the insane inventor of a fiendish, baseball-pitching robot. Then Johnny sees faces at his window at night, and senses he's being followed. Old Sloane has invented a new, improved robot, and he only needs one thing to bring it to life--Johnny's eyes. A unique plot, marvelous characters, and non-stop suspense make for deliciously wicked fun. -- Booklist




Rating: - The Eyes of the Killer Robot
John Bellairs books are quite intresting. But this book was not his best from what i've heard. There just wasn't enough action or mystery. I kept predicting what would happen and that isn't very mysterious to me. I would definitely like to read more of his books just not this one.

Rating: - eerie = interesting
I read this when I was in elementary school. (I'm 23 now.) I didn't enjoy reading at all until college. But of the few books I bothered with I remember loving this one. It was just so bizarre and sinister to a kid. Edward Gorey's illustrations creeped me out. (check out his own books.) If you want a book that will enthrall your child with its eerieness, choose this one.

I grew up to love books like The Third Policeman, movies like Eyes Wide Shut, TV shows like Twin Peaks, composers like ... Read More

Rating: - "They took my eyes..."
With a title like "Eyes of the Killer Robot," who could resist? While cheesy idiocy is implied in the title, the actual plot couldn't be further from it. This is an example of how Bellairs triumphs with his horror-fantasy stories, which so easily could descend into such ghastly cheese, but don't.

A stock-market plunge and a baseball game set off this book. Professor Childermass loses thousands of dollars in a sudden company collapse, shortly after it is announced that a star baseball player ... Read More

Rating: - This book scared the (...) outta me once upon a time....
I was in the first grade. Nosing around in the back of the library while all of the other kids browsed the books with happy endings and pretty illustrations, I chanced upon a copy of "The Eyes of the Killer Robot." The cover illustration, in all of it's Goth-Gorey grandeur, fascinated me, so I became the first kid in my class to check out a chapter book.
Every night, I sat down with my Dad and devoured a few pages. It all started innocently enough; pale, shy Johnny Dixon and his friend the ... Read More

Rating: - Eyes, eyes, Eyessssssssss!!!!
This is a great book for people that like horror. It is not one of those stories that you could just tell anyone though. Oh no, I wouldn't recomend this book for anyone under the age of seven. It is one of those books that will give you a scare. This is the story of Joney Dixon. he is just your average twelve year old chubby boy that attends a catholic school. One day while visiting and abandoned baseball park finds a small box with pair of eyes inside. Jonny soon comes to learn of a crazy mad man ... Read More
