YEAHbabyWRITEmeTHEsequelASAP!

I thought that this was one of the best books i've read and belive me i've read a lot of books. I read a book in about a day if i enjoy it and i read this one in even less, I liked it so much. I am a very picky reader as i am most things and this one caught my eye very well. It has the PERFECT ending. Smith is an exellent writer and this is one of her best yet. The characters were so detailed and well defined i felt as if they were people that I've known my whole life and in past lives. The plot was also superb. i felt as if i was someone right there and on set ready to get into action. I've even thought of getting permission from the publishers and Sinclair Smith to turn it into an independent film!

What is Julian Dex And Randy up to next?

This Book was great... It made want to keep flipping pages. Im pretty sure my high school English teacher has seen me reading my book even after ssr is over. When Randy is left alone in her desserted home, on a strange night a boy Creeps up, he is Julian Dex. Julian Dex is The Boy Next Door. He teaches Randy how to play practical jokes on some of her class mates and almost causes an accident on the freeway while Randy is driving her camaro. What will Julian make Randy do next? Murder ? or is it just a simple joke?.

A Great Read!....

Julian Dax is the new guy in Randy's life. One night, while she's taking out the trash, he appears out of the darkness, and from there, she falls in love with him. Randy's always been the sensible one, the one to do the right thing. Her father's away for three weeks, and Julian spices up her life. He gets his kicks out of pranks and scaring people. At first, the stunts are harmless, but they get deadlier. Who is Julian? He's always appearing out of nowhere, right on cue, and soon his jokes will ultimately lead to murder!....Sinclair Smith is an awesome author! She definitely has a knack for jokes and pranks (such as in "Double Date"), but the idea seems to spawn hits. I felt that "The Boy Next Door" was a very thrilling, suspenseful book. You wondered what Julian was going to think of next, and you didn't know if the main character was starting to go crazy or not. The only flaw was that the ending was a little rushed and a bit hard to follow. Otherwise, it's worth your time!...

STUPENDOUS!!!

This is one of the BEST books I have ever read!!! It's Cool, Fun, Mysrey and horror. I mean this book was great. I read it and I couldn't put it down. I recommend this book to anyone...It's FANTASTIC!!!

Fun to read

This was a thrilling book and was a lot like a mystery. You can really tell what the characters are thinking and it is an adventure.
