Summary: I Don't Understand Why People Don't Like the Ending!!
Review: This book could have been a lot better. Although I first picked up the book and thought it had a good premise to it, it turned out to be pretty uneventful. UNTIL THE END!! It's been one of Stine's best endings. It's good to do something different and leave you hanging, because you can make up the ending you want! In almost every book you read, you know at the end the bad guy's gonna get caught and everyone lives happily ever after. You don't know, though, if everyone lives in peace at the end of this book. That way you can make up your own ending. Those are the kind of endings I like. My advice: Don't stop halfway through the book if you think it's boring; you may enjoy the ending!!

Summary: A Masterpiece
Review: This book is absolutely top notch and the creme de la creme of the suspense novels I wasted my early teens reading. For anyone who knows Hitchcock, Best Friend is R.L. Stine's Vertigo. It's superficially alot like his other work, but in content it's heads above the rest. Honey Perkins is the most frightening and surrealistically realized antagonist of any of his novels, perhaps because so many questions are left tantalizingly unresolved. That alot of people don't like the ending is testimony to the power of this book to actually disturb, which is the whole point of suspense. The digressions into teenage life that tend to disrupt his other works somehow work here, and the novel's campy yet chilling atmosphere is paradigmatic of everything that makes teen suspense great. Kudos to R.L. for having the courage to actually write such a surreal and bone-chilling tale for young adult audiences, and curses on everyone who asked for the sequel.

Summary: CREEPY!
Review: This story centers on Becka and Honey. Honey is the girl who shows up one day claiming that she was Becka's "best best friend" back in 3rd and 4th grade. The problem is that Becka has no recollection of ever knowing Honey. She doesn't remember any of the stories that Honey tells her about their supposed friendship and intimate past together. The scary part comes in when the reader realizes that Honey is totally crazy and obcessed with Becka. Honey begins to dress like her and well...let's just say she's off her knocker. When Becka becomes fed up with Honey and tells her she already has two best friends and Honey isn't one of them, bad things start to happen to Becka's friends. This story basically tells about how Honey comes to ruin Becka's life. The story is pretty good and addicting. You just can't put it down (like all of R.L. Stine's books), but i find that it isn't nearly as chilling as some of R.L. Stine's other novels. The only chilling part is Honey's character. She seems truly demented. It makes me glad that i'm not in Becka's shoes. In conclusion, i recommend this book to anyone looking for a good tale, but don't expect to be scared too much, just expect to be slightly mortified with Honey's character.

Summary: Good Story, Exellent Read!
Review: This story was really good, except for the ending. Of course, thanks to our pleading and begging for a sequel, R.L. Stine, with the help of one of his readers, wrote a sequel. Very good!!! I suggest reading them both.

Summary: Good book----Bad ending
Review: This was a great book in terms of suspense, but the ending was horrible!!! I like to know what really happens to the characters, not just an abrupt ending. #2 was more satisfying.
