Summary: An O.K. book but a very stupid ending.
Review: This book is not the kind of book that you'd want to read again and again. I think the whole book was pretty fine, but the ending was really stupid! One more comment, it wasn't scary at all.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: the crazy girlfriend
Review: This book was crazy. If you think your boyfriend is playing you and you might go crazy on him think about it first. Because this girl went crazy. She broke his fingers, set his car on fire, and try to kill his girl friend. It was his fought for playing her. Lora was his girlfriend,she went on vacation with her parents. its a crazy book for once again you just have to read it. There was a guy after him and..........

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME Book!
Review: This is the type of book you can not put down once you started reading it. I never really liked reading books but this book changed that. If you like the type of books that don't have to many characters but still is a interesting story this is the book for you. The ending in this however was not as good as I thought it would be but still really good. This book has adventure, mystery, and love mixed into one story.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: an OK plot
Review: This was the first RL Stine book that I read. And Stine is a good writer. I mean..the books that have been written by Stine are....emense. But personally I really do not like this author at all. But that's just MY opinion. But this book didn't give much of a bad expression. The topics Stine writes about are really fanatic and crazy but still the the story doesnt' get too involved in pink elephants, green aliens and the sword in the stone *rolls eyes* but I have to say it came close when this book ended because of course as many people have already mentioned it has a strange ending. It's an ending alright, and it's tolerable but I read this ages back when I was 11 or 12 and it wasn't at all scary and I remember getting banned from point horror books for my dad looked in this one and found the gruesome describtions. But you might want to read this because I certainly didn't stop reading point horror books after this one.

Summary: "...when she was bad, she was murder."
Review: While Scotty Singleton's longtime girlfriend is away on a one-week European vacation, he goes out on a secret date with Shannon Smith, a classmate at Glenview High. Afterwards, out of guilt and disinterest, he breaks his "relationship" off with Shannon. However, she refuses to accept it and uses violence to get his attention--first by killing his pet snake (unfortunately, this isn't the last pet to die), then by breaking his hand, and finally by setting his car on fire. Now, although Shannon is supposed to be scary, I thought she was flat-out annoying--pestering him with nonstop phone calls and referring to him as "baby" all the time, though Scotty is just as guilty of overusing his favorite word "bogus."

As is Stine's typical writing style, "The Girlfriend" is meagerly written and fast-paced (a good combination when trying to get the book over with), but his tiring use of cliffhangers at the end of chapters hits a few snags when the succeeding chapters don't resume with the same scene, but jump forward in time or into a dream. This makes the story rather uneven in places. I will give him credit, though, for the somewhat dark twist regarding the fight Scotty and Shannon have at the end of the book. Unfortunately, he ruins it with a disappointing return-from-the-dead ending.

Stine fans will probably like this book, but other readers looking for a book about "obsessed exes" might want to look elsewhere.
