3.0 out of 5 stars R.L. Stine?
I am a 57-year-old man who has been reading and writing young adult novels for many years. "The Perfect Date" has the typical R.L. Stine zippy style, but out of all the books of his that I have read, this is the most unusual. It is almost as if it was written by a different person.

If you look closely, Stine's books are mysteries with logical explanations (even his...

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting/Clever, February 28, 2008
The prologue tells about Brady and his girlfriend Sharon skiing.

The first chapter and the rest of the book tells about Brady's current girlfriend Allie. Allie turns out to be a wonderful, caring, sensitive, sensible, perfect girlfriend. But Brady meets very gorgeous Rosha and wants her. I think Brady is stupid to want ditzy Rosha instead of lovely Allie. I think he is making a very bad choice.

Something about Rosha is "weird" and she seems unattainable. But yet, Brady continues to go after her, and he is unwilling to give it up.

There is another "girl" who is an important character in the book: the scarred-face girl.

At the end of the book, Sharon, Allie, Rosha, Brady, and the scarred-face girl are all tied in together in this clever plot. But I will not say how, because I do not want to ruin it. I will say that it is a very clever plot idea.

This is a "teen horror" and I do recommend this book to teens who like a good horrifying horror book. I do not recommend this book to adults, unless they are like me, and sometimes enjoy a less-serious, fun teen book.

4.0 out of 5 stars O.K, but bad ending, August 19, 2004
By 
Cate (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Perfect Date (Fear Street, No. 37) (Paperback)
The Perfect Date starts out with Brady and his girlfriend sledding. His girlfriend, Sharon, doesn't want to sled, but he pretty much makes her go. But when Sharon reaches the bottom, she also reaches her death.
A year later Brady is going out with someone new, Allie. But while he's in a restaurant with his friend, Jon, he sees this beautiful girl, Rosha. He goes over and starts to talk to her. And that is when the disastor begins..... While Brady is with Rosha, a mysterious girl with scars all over her face, keeps on warning Brady about Rosha. The big question is, will the Perfect Date turn into the last date?
This book was pretty good in the beginning....but ended really badly. I think the end was too out of place. I don't think it really ended too well...but that's just my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars i love it, June 11, 2006
A Kid's Review
This book 'The Perfect Date' is so cool and full of mystery. I loved it that it took me only three hours to finish it. This is probably one of the best fear street book i've read.

Its about a teenage boy named Brady who has a girlfriend named Shannon Noles. He made her sled in a dangerous part of Miller Hill when she didn't want to. But she died in a horrible death.

A year later Brady had a girlfriend called Allie. Then he met a very pretty girl named Rosha Nelson. He asked her for a date and she agreed. But every time horrible things happened she seemed to be around. Like when the car accident happened. Or when she accidently stabbed him with a letter opener. At least thats what he thinks. Also there is a scar faced girl who keeps warning him to stay away from Rosha. So could Rosha be dangerous?

I recommend this book to anyone who is brave enough to read about killings and blood. I thought that Brady could be a little stupid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dating Is A Scream..., November 28, 2005
By 
Erika Sorocco (Southern California, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Brady wants nothing more than to put the past behind him. After the sledding accident one year ago that left his girlfriend, Sharon, deformed and dead, he wants a fresh start. And that means a fresh start with girls. Sure, he's Mr. Popularity when it comes to the ladies, but Brady has been unable to stay interested in one girl for long. That is, until he meets Rosha. Rosha is gorgeous ten times over, and is really into Brady. The only problem that comes to Brady's mind when he's with her is the fact that he always gets hurt. Rosha seems to be carrying around some sort of curse that hits Brady each time she's around. Then there's the girl with the scarred face that keeps following Brady around. A girl who looks a lot like Sharon. But Sharon's dead...or so he thinks.

R.L. Stine has a way of turning the simplest story into a complete, and total scream-fest that will leave even the most composed person scared of the dark. Stine's talent is not wasted with THE PERFECT DATE. THE PERFECT DATE features all of Stine's usual elements: teenagers, dating, death, but incorporates one more frightening component that makes THE PERFECT DATE a perfect read: supernatural activity. THE PERFECT DATE is a fabulous combination of horrific gore that makes you cringe, and paranormal phenomena that will leave you begging for more.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Date is the Perfect Book, November 13, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Perfect Date (Fear Street, No. 37) (Paperback)
The Perfect Date, a book by R.L.Stine, is one of the best books I've read this year. To begin with, The Perfect Date is a good thriller. For example, one of the characters is a girl with a face deformed because of scars. Brady, the main character, has a girlfriend who is killed in a sledding accident. In the accident, her face gets torn up terribly. If she had survived the accident, her face would look like the scarred girl's face. In the book Brady meets a girl named Rosha. After he starts dating Rosha, the girl with the scarred face calls Brady telling him to stay away from Rosha. Another reason it's a good thriller is because when Brady is around Rosha, bad things happen. Such as: she spills coffee and scorched his hand, and coming home they got in a car accident, and she accidentally stabs him with a letter opener. The second reason this is a good book is because, once you start, you do't want to put it down. You want to find out if Allie, Brady's real girlfriend, catches him cheating on her. You also want to find out what's up with the girl with the scarred face. The third reason I like this book is because everything fits into one big circle. During the middle of the book, you can't figure out how this relates to that, but in the last chapter and in the epilog every thing gets explained and fits into place. Those are a few reasons The Perfect Date is the perfect book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A night alone with this book is the Perfect Date!!!, April 20, 2004
A Kid's Review
Perfect Date by R. L. Stine is a book that will keep you on the tip of you toes with suspense. Out of many R. L. Stine books I've read, this one would have to be my favorite out of them all. Just from the time I picked the book up I couldn't put it down. The way the book ended was very surprising, but left me anxious to read more. I was sad that the book had to end. What a AWESOME story it was and I would advise everyone to read it! You will be satified with the book after you read it, trust me. It is a very encouraging mystery book to read. It is BRILLANT!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect...perfectly evil, September 13, 2003
By 
This review is from: The Perfect Date (Fear Street, No. 37) (Paperback)
This book is one of those R.L. Stine books that aren't terrible and aren't perfect. A lot of parts were really stupid and boring. But towards the end, the book started to get much better. It has a HUGE surprise. There's only one problem with the end--it has a terrible epilouge.
