Point Horror: The Boyfriend
The only truly horrific thing about this book is the feebleness of the plot. Spoilt, Selfish, Rich Girl dumps Kind, Noble Boyfriend for Another. KNB survives an horrific accident - SSRG's fault, of course - then returns, horribly mutilated, to kill her. He moves in, she retaliates and - shock, horror - kills him! But . . . he's not dead! He returns again - to leave with SSRG's best friend. SSRG repents and Changes Her Ways. Do we really want young people to read this trivia? Worse, this series seems to be totally addictive - subliminal persuasion between the pages, perhaps . . .?
