Customer Reviews

Penetrates The Soul, Probably The Best
The Boy Next Door, by R.L.Stine, is a very unique book to the Fear Street series.
It describes Scott, the boy next door, who is a mad killer, and three girls who are madly in love with Scott.
Scott is a truly creepy dude. He is a football star, but hates girls who wear makeup or dress skimply. In his mind, it is his duty to kill all the girls who do these rather normal things.
Scott is the whole point of this book, and Stine makes him a truly scary and mad character.

It's the very Best book of them all!
When I was younger, I read the Goosebumbs series, and enjoyed them until they got sappy, around #35. I didn't want to read Fear Street right away because I was afraid that it might be the same way. Well, while browsing our local bookstore, I saw "The Boy Next Door" and decided to give it a try. On the first chapter, I was hooked! I recomend this book to anyone and everyone.

kiss of death
This book is brilliant in the sense that it has you completely hooked, and you can read it more than once comfortably, though that applies to many of R.L. Stine's books. From the first chapter you know who the bad guy is, though the insight to his POV is pretty cool. Once you you really get into the story, you don't expect the ending entirely. A nicely written book and all around good read.
