Summary: It was weird!
Comment: The Boyfriend was the book I read. It wasn't like any other book that I've read before. This book was a page turner. I finished the book in nine days. That's the quickest I've ever read a book. I would recommend this book to people that like page turners and scary books, but also don't mind it being a little gruesome. It was really exciting.
I liked the book a lot. I started it and the next thing I knew I was finished. The setting changes because Joanne and one of her boyfriends, Shep, lived in a rich neighborhood, and her other boyfriend, Dex, and her best friend, Mary, live in kind of poor neighborhood. In the story, Joanne is dating this guy Dex, and he was messing around on a cliff and fakes a death. He was trying to get back at Joanne by coming back from the dead. Then Joanne started to cheat on Dex with Shep. The ending was sort of weird, but you have to read the book to find out for yourself.

Summary: "Her boyfriend's back...from the grave."
Comment: In "The Boyfriend," Joanna Collier wants to break up with her current boyfriend, Dex, in order to date someone new: Shep Forrest. But she doesn't get the chance to do so before Dex accidentally falls off a cliff to his death. Then six weeks later, she starts receiving phone calls and visits from her "dead" boyfriend. Was his death just a misunderstanding--or is he really back from the grave as a zombie?
Like most of Stine's books, "The Boyfriend" is a quick read and can be finished off in only a few hours; but, unfortunately, it's also formulaic and episodic. There aren't too many surprises, either, that Stine fans can't figure out for themselves one step ahead, leaving a rather disappointing mess at the end. Nevertheless, his books do have an appeal like junk food: there's no real nutritional value to them and they probably rot young readers' brains, but they're quickly-gratifying and addictive. Worth reading if you're looking for some semi-scary mind candy.

Summary: STAY AWAY!!!
Comment: Usually I love R.L. Stine books, I think they're the best, but when I read the Boyfriend I was so0o0o0o dissapointed. It starts out with Joanna wanting to break up with Dex for Shep but then he dies and then he comes back from the dead and then he dies again and blah blah blah blah blah! By time I got to the end of the book Dex had died so many times nobody cared anymore. The book was so predictable that you knew exactly what was going to happen by time you got to the end of the book before you were even half way through with it. Also, in all of R.L. Stine's books the main character is nice and sweet and you feel bad for him or her when the person tried to kill them, but in this book the main character was so0o0o0o far from that. Matter of fact Joannna (the main character) was so vain, conceited, and superficial you actually had to wonder, if she were to die would anyone really miss her? The more I got to know Joanna the more I felt bad for Dex, and he was the one trying to kill her. I wouldn't blame him either, if I had to put up with her attitude and brattiness and then she left me to die and when she found out I was dead she didn't even cry, I would try to kill her to. In the end I recommend this book to someone who has a lot of free time ont their hands, actually now that I think about that I wouldn't even put that type of person through the turture of reading this book. I wouldn't even give it the one star I did if I didn't have any other choice.
