This book is about a lonely boy named Paul Conway who moves to the small town of Welling with his mother due to a divorce and a horrible accident. He is a scientific genius who built his own robot named "Bee Bee". He falls in love with his next door neighbor named Samantha Pringle. Her father is a raging alcoholic who shatters Paul's life by destroying Bee Bee and killing Sam. Paul takes the robot computer and implants it into her brain bringing her back to life, well sort of. She turns into a revengful monster totaly unlike Sam who murders her father and several others. It seems as if no one, not even he, can destroy this monster which he has created. In short, good book. Pick it up!

Deadly Friend is a fascinating mix of scary and sensitive storytelling, a modern day take on the Frankenstein tale. I downloaded it on my Kindle for 99 cents, and I must say I got my money's worth. A real page turner, with characters I cared about. At this price, worth six stars.

I have never read this book before, but I saw the movie at midnight while flipping through channels looking for good movies. When I started watching the movie from the beginning, I thought it was a fun movie that friends go out and play, but when the movie started getting worse, I got confused. First, I had no idea why they called it The Deadly Friend, but when I finished watching the movie, I understood why. Although part of the movie is super disgusting, but I love it a lot, because it's very touching, sad, romantic, and else. The most melancholy part is the ending, when Sam started remembering her life as the real Samantha and the friendship with Paul, the police shot her when she was running up to him. While she was surrounded by police everywhere, you see her vision started getting more vivid and real, but it's so sad that the police didn't know who she really is and why she killed her father and the old woman who shot Bee Bee. Just hearing her whispering Paul's name the first time in a long time, you feel like if you want something good to happen, just like if she could survive and become the real Samantha. Therefore, I recommand you to read this book or watch the movie. If you ever like these kind of stories, then you should see the movie Artificial Intelligence made in 2001, too.
