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.

Can you say "SCARY"!!!!!!!!!!

I read other great R.L Stine books but this has to be the ultimate best. This book is about two girls,Rachel and Lynn, who have a major crush on Scott.He is Athletic, cute and everything else.But he had lost his girl friend at home so he decided he will get a good one who behaves.But even if Rachel and Lynn still think they have the chance of being his girl friend they don't because Scott is fed up with them. So now he wants to teach those unbehaving girls a killer lesson! I give this book 5 stars for it's so scary and suspenseful that you can't put it down.

Not the best R.L.Stine book but good.

I thought the book was pretty cool. It was about when Scott came to Shadyside High and the day he moves in Crystal looks out the window in here bedrooim and sees scott undress he looks over and he shuts his curtains. Crysal and Lauren make a bet to see who could get out with him first. Scott likes GOOD girls thats how his first grilfriend died 'Dana'. So thats a little bit about it im not tellin the rest because you should find out your self.Books you might like:Bad Dreams, Beach house, The New Years Party, Switched, and Double Date

It gives you a second thought about news boys!!!

A EXCELLENT BOOK!!! i recommend this book for girls because i don't think that boys would enjoy this book that much! It had me on the egde of my seat and once i read this book I got second thoughts on my best friend Scott. The thrills kept coming!!!

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.
