A creepy way to begin dating,
By A Customer
This review is from: First Date (Fear Street Series #16) (Paperback)
Chelsea Richards has never had a first date, but she's not the only new kid in town noticing that. Two boys, two new, cute boys ask her out. One is a shy, sweet boy who goes to her high school. The other is a rough, tough dropout she meets at her dad's coffee shop. Chelsea is so excited, her first date! How can she know that one of her "first" dates could lead to her funeral?The cast of characters includes Chelsea a pretty, young girl who plays the saxophone and is slightly overweight. She is timid and tolerant, but can be panicky at times. Will Blakely is humble, kind and shy, whereas, Tim Sparks gives the impression of being wild and tough. Nina, Chelsea's friend, is a short, cute blonde, slightly selfish at times, but also friendly, relaxed and easygoing. Although he may not use the greatest literary techniques, R.L. Stine does have the ability to build suspense that keeps you begging for more. Readers can relate to his language and true-to-life conflicts with ease. Stine promotes the mood of the novel with strong verb choices and some wonderful imagery. The author's point of view seems to wallow in the shadows of the plot, as a third person who is telling the story as though he knows what will happen. By leaving a little bit of foreshadowing at the end of each chapter, R.L. Stine can be sure that readers will not stop reading until Chelsea's fate is determined.

One Of Stine's Best,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: First Date (Fear Street, No. 16) (Mass Market Paperback)
First Date is one of the best books in the Fear Street series. Although predictable, it still had style and substance, and actually contained some very suspensful parts, unlike other Fear Street books.
The book describes 15 year old Chelsea Richards, a shy, lonley, high school student who is looking for love. She soon meets two boys, a 20 year old high school dropout by the name of Tim Sparks, and a new boy at school named Will Blakely. Soon both of them ask her out, although when she finds out the FBI are on the trail of a serial killer who looks alot like Tim Sparks, she rats him out and chooses to go on her first date with Will Blakely. Unfortunately for Chelsea, Will is the actual serial killer. His real name is Lonnie Mayes, and he kills girls who look like his mother or his sister in each town he visits. Will Chelsea's first date also be her last?
