Be Mine (Point)

Summary: Not a Very Thrilling Book!
Review: I really didn't find this book to be that scary or thrilling. Sure, there was some suspense in it, but the ending just took a lot of it out. If you want to read a scary, thrilling, or suspenseful book, read something by R.L. Stine!

Summary: an excellent book
Review: The book Be Mine is an very interesting. Because she has an admirer then the admirer trys to kill her.The part that i liked most was that the admirer knew where her locker was without her telling him.

Summary: Be Mine . . . Or Else
Review: While most Scholastic Thrillers are very bloody and/or suspenseful (take R. L. Stine, for example, who has contributed a lot to this line of teen thrillers), "Be Mine" barely makes it into either category. The front cover is certainly misleading with a knife stabbing a cherry-flavored piece of chocolate, since there's no real bloodshed or violence in the story (though the protagonist does get some bad rope burns), which makes "Be Mine" ideal for those who are just starting to get into suspense books. It's also an unusual addition to this imprint because of its length. Typically Scholastic Thrillers are just under 200 pages, but this one is 245 pages long, which might be a turn-off to those who aren't willing to read an additional 50 pages.

The book revolves around 18-year-old Bethany Anderson, a senior in Delaware, who has a secret admirer that has been leaving her red heart stickers and roses in her locker and at her home, as well as calling her in the middle of the night. Who he is is impossible to figure out, despite his occasional first-person narratives, but "Be Mine" is still a great young adult book. It has plenty of humor, courtesy of Bethany's sex-crazed boyfriend (Starling is definitely my favorite character in here, though Bethany is just as likable and intelligent), and will certainly appeal to teen readers who like low-key suspense, but aren't into all the gore that typically goes along with it.
