Worse yet, Tim defeats Dracula the first time by telling him bad jokes. Come on, who approved this book? Near the end, Tim distracts the Count with a Gameboy (never mentioned up until this point) while Simon whips him. The duo meet a "friendly" monster named Freddy who gives them tips in one of the mansions. Are you seeing the problem here? The following is a quote from the book, just as an example.
pg.104
Thanatos howled with vexation and fury.
"Strike him in the chest, Tim! Strike him in the chest!"
Tim ran up and hit Thanatos in the chest with a clenched fist.
"No!" said Simon, fighting for all he was worth to stay on the creature,
who was bucking like a Brahman bull. "With the thorn whip. With the thorn
whip, Tim!"
"Oh."
Tim stepped back, aimed and let go."
Snap!
The biggest snap of them all!
Thanatos gave one more mighty heave, tossing Simon Belmont off once more.
However, he did not look as though he were about to charge Tim any longer.
In fact, the Master of Death looked like he was very ill, or about
to explode.
