3 comments about Trinity Blood - Rage Against the Moons Volume 1: From the Empire (v. 1).

  1. Go get them Father Nightroad and Tres! This novella was fund light reading. I was already familiar with some of the storyline, having viewed the episode on the Adult Swim cartoon.


  2. This is the first book of the Trinity Bood graphic novels series. The series is divided into two parts: Rage Against the Moons and Reborn on Mars.
    This book contains four stories.
    Flight Night(anime episode 1) After completing an assignmentin Londonium, Father Abel Nightroad is returning to Rome aboard the Abionese airship Tristan. It is highjacked by Count Alfredo and it is up to Abel to regain control of the ship.
    Witch Hunt(anine episode 2) A genetically altered girl, who has the power of touch telepathy is wanted by the Rosenkruetz Order and the Vatican. Her power to scramble and alter memories causes people to slaughter each otehr and themsealves. She finds her only friend is Father Abel Nightroad.
    From the Empire (anime episode 7) Endre, a Methuselah serial killer exiled from the Empire contiues his murderous ways in Venice.Allied with the Rosenkruetz Order he helps them set in motion a plan to start a war between the Methuselah Empire and the Vatican. Temporarily partnered with Astoroche, Duchess of Odessa, Abel Nightroad works to preserve the current peace.
    Sword Dancer(aninem Episode 6) Father Hugue, another Vatican AX agent investigates the mass murder of the priests and nuns of Oude Kerk. The Vaitcan thinks it is the work of the local vampire lord. The vampire lord is just as in the dark as the Vatican. Father Hugue has his own personal agenda. The key to everything is the surviving nun Sister Agnes.
    The anime keeps the manga's ligher comic tone. The graphic novel is a darker, more interesting rendition of Trinity Blood. The graphic novel has strong sense of horror. Characters who are annoying in the anime, are cold-blooded,insane killers. Abel, Tres, and Caterina are stronger, darker characters than in the anime. In many ways this book is a Cold War intrigue book, excep this cold war is set in a post-apocolyptic 31st century.


  3. Vampires. Powerful, eternal, virtually indestructible, they are at the highest level of evolution. Aren't they awfully cocky, thinking like that? What if you knew there was something stronger, more powerful, older? What if you were that thing? Well, then you would be AX Special Agent Crusnik. Traveling in the guise of a simple poor priest, which he actually is, Agent Crusnik aids the Vatican in a constant, post-apocalyptic, political battle. Often throwing direct orders out the window, and taking his partners along for the ride, Crusnik battles his enemies to the bitter end. Until the next one appears. Exposing more plots and evils than he expunges, he and the other agents must continue to be a virtually unbeatable force. And that is quite a big shoe to fill.

    Don't be put off by the religious references before you read this. This is literally post-apocalypse. Rome is one of the few major powers left, and the Vatican is not at all what you would expect.

    Of all of the pop fiction that I've read, which isn't exactly a ton, but is a fair amount, this book comes the closest to anime. So, if you're a fan of anime, this is the book for you.

    Amidst the non-stop action, Agent Crusnik is hilariously witty, a little bit bitter, and still manages to remain concerned about everyone else. He's definitely someone I'd want on my side. Just not around all the time, what with the constant death, destruction, and mayhem.

    I want more, please. Pleasantly, there are five more stories on the way, as well as DVDs!

5 comments about Bury Me Deep.

  1. This is from the back cover. Jean Fiscal is on her way to Hawaii. On the plane, a pasenger beside her suddenly chokes and dies. When Jean arrives, two of her friends are already there and have made friends with Dave and Johnny. And then, Jean starts to have terrible dreams about Mike...


  2. Jean Fiscal goes to Hawaii for a vacation where she will meet her two girlfriends. But on the plane there, she witnesses the choking death of a young man sitting next to her and it taints the rest of her vacation. She can't stop thinking about him, dreaming about him. In Hawaii, she meets two guys named Johnny and Dave. Scuba instructors. The three girls and the two guys hit it off. But meanwhile Jean is having all these nightmares and it's really awful.

    This is not my favorite Pike book by any stretch of the imagination. It was interesting to read about scuba-diving and all. Pike really goes into depth (no pun intended) and treats every book as if it was a lesson on something or other. I never bothered to verify the accuracy of his facts but I was always impressed with his details. But this particular book is just a basic who-dunnit/ghost story. I know he can do better than this. The story's uninspired. It's not even a guilty pleasure. But that's just my opinion.


  3. I liked this book a lot! This book is a good read. The book has a couple twists that kept me wanting to find out what happened next.


  4. "That can't be. M-Mike was already dead. How is that even possible? I-I saw him on that plane. I know I did! And I found a skull in an underwater cave. Could it be...? No. I won't believe that... could it be Mike's?"


  5. This book was the best book i have ever read. I read it in 1 hour. It is by far the scariest book. it is about a girl Called jean with her 2 friends go to hawwai on vacation. Jean meets a boy on the plane called mike. Mike chokes and dies. Mike was the boy sitting next to her in the plane. When Jean arrives to the island, Her and her friends decide to take scuba diving lessons with Dave and Johnny. Jean was scuba diving and went inside a cave and saw a skull. Mysteries happen on their way and she finds out Mike died a month before she saw him. She gets confused and them figures out that someone or some people are trying to murdur people underwater to hide the murdur of the scull. Jean tries to find who it is. And goes through many dangers.
    This is a great book and it will be a mistake if you dont read it. I suggest it is for ages 10-16. i hope this review was helpfull to u coz everything i wrote here is a fact

5 comments about The Boyfriend (Point Horror Series).

  1. This was the first R. L. Stine book I ever read after the Goosebumps books. The plot was interesting, and the high-school-age characters are a little more realistic than the ones in some of his other teenage-audience books.


  2. My mom had first got this book for my younger sister from the library. I was curious and I hadnt read R.L Stine since I was a young girl(I grew up reading his books)so i decided to go ahead and read it. What a fast read! I finished in 30 minutes! This book has so many twists and turns, it really keeps you guessing. I absolutely loved the ending : Joanne recieved exactly what she deserved for being such a cruel person. If I had known Dex in real life, I would've dated him, he seemed like such an awesome guy!
    I highly recommend this book, if you want a book that puzzles you, scares you, and throws you onto a windy rolar coaster, this is the book for you!

    I now want to read R.L. Stine's The Girlfriend =)


  3. I really enjoyed this fast read. I had it done in about two hours. I was thrown for a loop towards the end. Not expecting that. I am happy Joanne got her justly rewards. Enjoy!


  4. this books is great and chilling i would say this is not for kids under 12,it has some adult themes.but i read it when i was 11.it creeped me out!its very super chilling!you would never want to put the book down.NEVER.its so fun its like your in the book!
    i really recemend for 12 and up.its very scary and shocking it will give you goosebumps.r.l stine kind of goosebumps.there is the girlfriend too.but in the end there is a big shock!and you wish you didnt finishes,as much as i liked it i read it about 3 times !i am 12 now and im very mature for my age,but trust me kids DONT READ IT!hehe.its also not for adults either!lol!


  5. Stine is a great YA author, but this book really sucks. He's written so many good books, I feel like this was just a rush job he slipped in and they published it because of who he was. The main character Joanna, is a real snob who treats people really bad. She has a boyfriend and he dies and then it appears he haunting her. I know a lot of his books are far fetched, but this one is way too unbelievable. Also, Joanna is so unlikable that readers will be wishing for her death, not wanting her to solve any mysteries. Don't waste your time or money on this stinker.

5 comments about Fear Hall: The Beginning (Fear Street, No. 46).

  1. Fear Hall: The Beginning was great. Hope Mathis and her friends stay near Fear Hall. Fear Hall is a dormitory that is miles away from Shadyside. Lately, there have been mysterious murders happening near Fear Hall. This book was wonderful but the murders were gross. Using a baseball bat to rip out someone's ear is way too gross. In this book, you think you know thw killer but the ending will reveal who the killer really is.


  2. It was kind if obvious what the problem was a second book was not really neccessary it just kind of dragged.


  3. I'm a big fan of the Fear Street series and it's author RL Stine but this book was not so good. I figured out the ending early on and even though it was sorta original I found the book to be boring...so boring in fact that I refuse to buy the second one. Trust me people it's a waste of money...If you choose to read it make sure you check it out of the library..


  4. I have just finished reading this book and as soon as I put it down I logged onto the internet, for I feel morally obliged to warn the rest of humanity about this book. I wish it were possible to choose half a star, or even better yet, no star, as a rating for I feel that one star is WAY to generous. The basic plot - guy kills guy talking to girl who he thinks is his gf; is actually gf's roomate wearing her clothes. This happens twice. Why doesn't the girl just stop lending out her clothes? At the end of the book we learn that none of the main characters actually exist, it was all a product of the girlfriend's imagination. What possessed me to borrow another one of Stine's book? I've learnt my lesson, I swear. No wonder there was a letter on the back cover from the author practically begging people to buy the sequel. No thanks. I've already exceeded my recommended stupidity intake for the year.


  5. i have read (...) stines's books, and by far this book is the best, without a shadow of a doubt! i can't really tell you too much about it or it would kill the point in reading it, but you have to get ths book!

5 comments about The Boy Who Couldn't Die.

  1. Ever wonder how it would feel to anything in the world. To be like a super hero like in the comics and never die when you do something dangerous. Well William Sleater is a guy that writes magnificent science fiction, horrors, mystery and other wonderful books that is so mesmerizing. His books come with so many trills that will make your body shiver.


    Ken is a kid that lost his best friend (Roger) in a plane accident. Ken then starts to worry about himself dieing in such a horrible accident. That is when he finds a woman (Cheri Buttercup) who says that she can make him invulnerable to pain and death for a very cheap price. But when he finds out what has to happen, then he would have to choose between feeling pain and death or if he wouldn't want to die. Once he decides on what to do, he then tests it out. He tries to get fight and beat up the school bully, he notices that he can't get burned, and when he takes a little vacation he wants to do something even more dangerous and that is to...



    William Sleater writes some of the best young adult books you could ever imagine. It is so detailed and William Sleater describes how the character is feeling really well and what is going through their minds. Here is a quote from the boy who couldn't die. . "I'm lying in some kind of box, and I'm paralyzed, I can't move an arm, a leg, a finger. I have no voice, because my breathing is so shallow it's like I'm hardly aware of breathing at all. I feel very cold. My temperature is so far below normal that if I weren't paralyzed I'd be shivering uncontrollably. I have the digestion sensation that bugs are crawling under my skin, but I can't move to scratch. And then everything goes black when they fit a cover onto the box." This is the things that William Sleater writes, it's amazing.


  2. When your best friend dies, life seems to end right then and there. But, Ken doesn't let this happen. He visits a psychic, and for only $50.00, she preformed a "spell" on him that would eventually change his life forever.

    I really had a lot of favorite parts in this book. But the best part would have to be when this large guy Toby, tries to beat up Ken after hearing that he is going to take out his ex Kaitlin. But since Ken can't feel pain, to Toby, it feels like punching a brick wall. But soon that night, Ken figures out that his spell in totally not what he expected. And this shows that what you may think is the easy way out, will end up surprising you in the end.

    Overall I really liked this book because it shows that everything has its negatives. And either you can chose to handle it or do something about it. Many people, I think, will enjoy this book, especially if you like mystery and thrilling suspense! On a scale from 1-5 stars, I gave I would give this book 4 stars.


  3. This book is about a boy who Goes to see a person who says that she can take away his soul and hide it for a mere $50. Ken wants to do this because his best friend Roger recently died in a plane crash, and he dosen't want the same thing to happen to him. Then he goes to St. Calo to test his new invulnerability against a shark. He meets Sabine who soon becomes his girlfriend. When he tells her what he has done and she tells him that the lady that she went to go see actually turned him into a living breathing zombie. If you want to know what happens then you will have to read the book for yourself. This is one of the best books that I have ever read. Even though I have only read one of his books William Sleator is one of my favorite authors. This is a great book!


  4. im not the one to usually read books and finish them. but i finished it in two days. it is an amazing book. i never wanted to put it down. with a lot of other books i did read, there would be a good part, and it would just go down hill. thats not what happened here. it started high and just went all the way up. it is an awesome book. read it.


  5. In my opinion, it wasn't the greatest book ever, but it wasn't the worst either. The first few chapters focus on characters that end up not being important. But there is vivid description.
    I liked the hidden romance storyline, but it could have ended better. The author ended the story oddly, it left you hanging dry.
    I would recommend this book to people who don't mind reading lots of chapters about traveling somewhere.

5 comments about First Date (Fear Street, No. 16).

  1. This is the one of the many books of the Fear Street series, and it's really good. Fear Street is a series about scary and/or supernatural events that happen to teenagers in a ficitional town called Shadyside. In this book, a sweet, shy girl who has trouble with boys happens to meet two interesting ones. Too bad one's a deranged killer, the mystery is, which one? This has a pretty good twist ending and gives a good taste of future books in the series.Pulitizer material it's not, but for young teens, or anyone wanting a quick thrilling read, this suits the bill just fine.


  2. 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?


  3. I really disliked how heartless Will Blakely was..other than that this was a great read.


  4. 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.



  5. "He allway kills them then, on the first date."
    Whoa this book is a sure screamer and you'll be scared.The main character is Chelsea Richards who is a scared and very new girl in the town. Se's a very shy teenager who has bever gone on a date and never been kissed.
    One day she's working with her dad in his restaurant when something terrible happens. Then she meets will, a new shy boy in town too. They start to dateand really like each other. Now that they are going one dates................................... they........They.........THEY read the book to find out what happens.
    People of older ages that really like horry and scary stories will like the book alotIliked this book and thought it was okThat is why I give it 4 stars.

5 comments about Witch Dreams.

  1. You won't know all the title entails until you read the whole book. I'll admit it doesn't take much to take me by surprise but this books ending fits it very well.

    It takes slight madness to be genius. Vivian Vande Velde's an entertaining author. Short, short read, but it's worth it.


  2. Arguably, this book was written for someone much younger than myself, yet I found I still enjoyed reading it. The sentence structure is a bit choppy, but considering the lead character and the age group this book was intended for, it works.

    The lead character, Nyssa, discovers that there is something about her that makes her different... she's a witch. So not only does she have to learn to deal with that fact, the fact she can enter other people's dreams, and then having to deal with the death of her parents, all at a very young age, there is plenty in this book to keep the action and suspense going.

    The subject matter of the book, sorcery and witchcraft, may not appeal to everyone, but it is written from that fantasy perspective, and shows the human side of a very tough time for a young girl, written during a time period when things such as witchcraft and sorcery were a part of history. Remember, this was during a time period when witches were burned for practicing sorcery of any kind, thus adding to the drama of this young girl's life.

    All in all, not a bad little book.


  3. Only VVV can pack so much in just 120 pages. Nyssa is a witch. When she goes to sleep with a token under her pillow (a lock of hair, a stone, a knife, a piece of clothe) she falls into the dreams of that person. Nyssa thought herself a selfish child until her parents were killed, now, six years later their killer has returned and she plans to expose him or else. But this strange young man seems to know more than Nyssa expects.

    I can't say more, otherwise I'll ruin it. This book is advertized as young adult, but believe me, it doesn't matter if your an adult or young adult you'll love VVV's books. They're vivid, interesting, action packed, definitely worth your time. I've loved everyone I've read thus far.


  4. Sixteen year old Nyssa is a witch; she has the power to share other people's dreams. In the medieval town of Lindenwolde, that's not a good thing. If anyone finds out she is a witch, she will be killed. However, Nyssa is compelled to use her witchcraft to answer the question which has been haunting her for the last six years: who broke into her father's woodworking shop and murdered her parents? Nyssa is sure that it was Elsdon, the son of the most powerful man in town. Witnesses saw him in the area near her father's shop several days before the murder, and one of Nyssa's neighbors even saw him fleeing the shop right after the murder took place. Of course, the magistrate is much more likely to believe Elsdon's parents than a hysterical orphan. How do you prove someone guilty when the only evidence you can get will condemn you to death?

    The solution to the murder mystery in Witch Dreams is fairly obvious if you spend a while thinking about it. This doesn't stop the story from being engrossing and exciting. Although certainly not Vivian Vande Velde's best book (Never Trust a Dead Man and Heir Apparent share that distinction), it's still original and unusual. As in all of Vande Velde's books, there are several plot twists and red herrings thrown in to keep the story interesting and the reader guessing. Nyssa is an unusual, sympathetic protagonist, though very obviously driven to the point of obsession by her parents' deaths. The dream sequences are also done in a very unusual style: each dream sequence takes place in present tense, and from the point of view of the person having the dream.

    All in all it's a good book. The mystery is a bit obvious, but the rest of the book is innovative and surprising.


  5. Omigosh! I never wanted to stop readingthis book. Chapter after chapter I read. There is a surprising ending that kept me guessing throughout the book. All I can say is "Spine Tingling!"

5 comments about The Awakening Evil (Fear Street, No. 10).

  1. i am a big fan of r.l. stine fear street sagas. i have been reading the series and i have read 1-10 and am waiting for 11 to come in the library. I got it oder! i have been ordering them for ever now and they are all great! the book is about an evil spirt living in an innocent young girls body! it is a total must read!!!!


  2. Hi
    I love this book and I think its the best book i've ever read in my whole life. I think this book was more like a romantic book than scary, dont misunderstand me, it did scare the hell out of me for sure, especially the bit when Thomas fell on the boiling water. well,I really like the book anyway. By the way, my favorite carachter is Thomas Fear.I think Mr. Stine used a different idea unlike other authors I've ever read, beacuse most authors end their books in a happily ever after way, but he ended the story the way that both main carachters, Thomas and sarah(Jane) are murdered cruely by Sarah.
    Please Mr.Stine write more books just like The Awakening Evil. Believe me I'll be the first one who'll get hold of your new book. (...)!!!


  3. This book is okay its really gory and kinda nasty with all the killing and stuff. When the evil doesn't kill Jason i thought that was the end but it wasn't! I really luv this book. its kinda freaky and scary though, cause the evil talks to her inside her head and stuff.


  4. Well, I really liked this book, but there was one tiny problem. This book is a touch gory. But I really liked it. Some of the parts were making me think I didn't (namely the gory parts) but then I decided that I really enjoyed this book.


  5. I have read this book twice!! If you are a fan of R.L. Stine's work, then this book is a MUST! If you have read the cheerleader novels (The First Evil, The Second Evil, The Third Evil & The New Evil) This book will explain where the evil came from and why it does what it does. All and all, this book is about the supernatural, love, hate, and what all his books have in common... death. If you have read this book.. then I strongly suggest the cheerleader sagas. This book is about a woman who loses her best friend due to a tragic boating accident, who marries into a family (the Fears) she has heard are witches, which are cursed.. mysterious deaths soon will follow with a supernatural twist.. You will NOT be able to put this book down.. I guarantee it!! Buy this book!! Borrow it!! Do whatever you can to read this book!! You won't regret it!

5 comments about The Second Evil (Fear Street Cheerleaders, No. 2).

  1. For Corky Corcoran, putting her sister Bobbi's untimely death behind her is proving to be a job of work, thanks to that pesky Evil lurking around Shadyside.

    The second book in R. L. Stine's Fear Street Cheerleaders series stands miles above its predecessor. The writing is cleaner, the characters better developed, the plot tighter and more deftly executed. And the body count is higher, too. Get ready to say goodbye to a couple of series regulars, and to make the cliffhanger ending easier to digest, make sure you have the third installment onhand.


    The First Evil (Fear Street Cheerleaders, No. 1)
    Second Evil (Fear Street: Cheerleaders)
    The Third Evil (Fear Street Cheerleaders, No. 3)
    Cheerleaders: The New Evil (Fear Street Super Chillers, No. 7)
    Cheerleaders: The Evil Lives (Fear Street Super Chillers, No. 13)
    The Awakening Evil (Fear Street, No. 10)


  2. The Second Evil is in the Fear Street Cheerleaders Saga. This is
    the second book in the series but you don't need to read the first one
    to get into the second one because they have completely different plots.
    And if you like this one, there is a third one The Third Evil.



    This is a book about a group of seniors at Shady Side High.
    When Corky's sister Bobbi dies, Corky mourns at Bobbi's grave every
    day. But one day she encounters an evil spirit and she fights it. She
    thinks she killed it, but the terror has only started. When all her friends
    start acting weird, she knows the spirit has gotten in someone's body but
    who?



    This is a young adult book with some details that may not be
    suitable for younger readers. There were a lot of gross/gruesome
    details that tell about how people got murdered.
    So mainly seventh and eighth graders should read this book.

  4. When Kimmy saw Corky at the cemetery they watched her. Corky was in the cemetery mourning the death of Bobbi. When she saw Bobbi rise from her grave, she saw Bobbi. Bobbi's blond hair was caked with mud. Bobbi's mouth was about to open but instead a big fat worm came out. But it was another nightmare of Bobbi for Corky. This time, Corky had a boyfriend named Chip Chasner or Charles Chasner. Chip dumped Kimmy, his old girlfriend because he was liked Bobbi after Bobbi's death he liked Corky. When Corky was making hot chocolate something distracted her and she did not know the hot water was on her hand already so she burned her hand. When Kimmy saw Corky, Kimmy was begging Corky to sign in the cheerleading squad because of the double cartwheel Corky and Bobbi made. When Chip and Corky met Sarah Beth Plummer, Corky thinks something is strange about her. She knew the SARAH FEAR STORY!. When i was in CHAPTER 13, Corky heard a loud noise. When she saw Chip, she gasped in horror because his hand was cutted by a power saw. When Corky jumped in Chapter 20, she fell because Kimmy did not catch her. Kimmy told her she was paralyzed. When Corky was in home, she decided to take a hotbath. She was surprised to see Kimmy in the bathroom. But it was not Kimmy, Infact it was the evil spirit. The evil spirit explained why she killed Chip and Jon Daly, Jennifer's brother. When Corky was forced in the hot tub, she made Kimmy in the hot tub. When the evil spirit was gone, Kimmy was all wet. The next day, Corky saw a letter.
    IT CAN't BE DROWNED!. It means the evil spirit was not defeated!


  5. This book from R. L. Stine is the best book i have EVER read! If you love gore and thrillers, you would totally love this book. I think personaly the ages 10-15 would be the best ages for this book. There are 3 main charcters:Corky, Kimmy, and Debra. There is an evil sprit that goes and kills and many people that gets in her way. There is more gore in this book than the first one. (But not to where you couldn't read it). So far I have read number one and almost two books of this series, and I recomend both of them. But hey! That means you get to buy both of them, or all! Haha! Anyway, just to let you know, if you think Jennifer Daly diddn't die, you may be wrong. But im not telling!=]

5 comments about The Perfect Date (Fear Street, No. 37).

  1. I even like the cover! Brady is getting on with his life. The memory of her girlfriend killed in an accident last year is beginning to fade. Now, Brady's found the perfect girl. Rosha Nelson. But how come Brady has accidents whenever Rosha is around. Is she somewhat connected to that girl with a terribly scarred face?


  2. 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.


  3. Brady the main character was sledding with his girlfriend and she ran into a tree and ripped off her face. He later found a girl named Rosha that he really liked. Everytime he went out with her he loked behind his shoulders and he noticed that he had a stalker. She was a scarred face lady that looked like his old girlfriend that got her face ripped off, when they were sledding. It happend that the so called Rosha had stolen that scarred face girl's body. Rosha was really shannon the girl that crashed and got her face ripped off. They fought for there own body's back and finnally that scarred face girl got her pretty body back.


  4. This was, in my opinion the best fear street book ever, but I read the ending, and it was so unrealistic. It was a huge let down. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who likes fear street books, it will change your outlook on the whole series, and it is a waste of your time.


  5. 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.
