I can see where that might have made the plot a lot harder to move, but I think the story would have been better for it. I found myself wishing that the story pulled more from creepy old photography rather than using a polaroid-style camera. The big reveals just felt like info dumps, which killed almost all of the built-up tension surrounding the mysterious and unpredictable aspects of the camera. It fell apart for me in the final act, though. I thought Greg and his friends were believably bored kids in the suburbs, and that the plot built up the tension nicely throughout the first two-thirds of the book. It had a fun and original concept as well. Say Cheese and Die was one of the most iconic covers and titles of the series.
