R.L. Stine Books

Blind Date is a roller coaster ride for the reader. This book is packed with the ups and downs of adventure and teen life. The story starts when Kerry, a boy in high school, just tackled the star-quarterback, Jess and broke his back and went into a coma. Jess's cheerleader girlfriend, Sherri swears she will get vengeance on Kerry. At the hours of darkness, he gets a phone call, and a sexy, kitten like voice purrs, "Hi, I'm your blind date." But what you don't know is that Kerry's bigger brother Donald is in a mental hospital the year before and that plays a major part in the story.

I was dreadfully interested in the events that happened, for instance Kerry's tires get slashed after the school dance. This is one of the only R.L. Stine books that captured my curiosity. The characters were exceptionally believable because Kerry was a shadow in his older brother Donald's footsteps. Kerry also was believable because he didn't get many dates and I know some guys; they don't get loads of dates.

I liked this book because it had a lot of twists and turns. At the conclusion of each chapter, a new surprise would arise and would make you what to read more. I recommend it to anyone and everyone because it will keep you guessing until the end.

This is a story about a guy named Kerry who couldn't remember what happen to his brother Donald. His friends and family knew what happen to him but also knew not to tell Kerry, he is suppose to find out himself. His father was a cop. Kerry was a football player and he was ranked numer two. He accidentally fell on the number one player's leg and broke his leg. It really was an accident but no one belives him. He gets a phone call that night. He has a blind date!!! He talks to her for a while. He is going to take her on a date. When he gets done talkeng to her he gets another phone call. It sounds like some girl pinching her nose and saying " The toe bones connected to the foot bone... the foot bones connected to the leg bone... I'm going to break every bone in your body." At first he thought it was Sal's girlfriend, Sharon. Sal is the one who broke his leg. One night, Kerry and Mandy, his bline date, went to the dance, when they came back out the car was vandlized. The windows were smashed in with a mallet and the tires were slashed with a hunting knife. He got a ride home and when he got home the phone was ringing. He didn't want to answer it but he did. It was Donald at a pay phone. He said, Becareful, I'm coming...," Kerry hung up before Donald could say anything else. Mandy came and wanted to go to a safer place because she thought that Donald was following her. She was scaired and wanted to bring Kerry with her. They went to an old cabin that her parents had owned. then they had hot chocolate. She had slipped some white into his and he feel asleep. When he woke up he was tied to a chair and couldn't move. He found out it was Mandy who was making those scary phone calls. She claimed to be Amanda's sister and then swung the mallet and his foot. She went to the wall and pulled a big moose head off the wall and jamed it on Kerry's head. She was going to smash the other foot but...

When I got this book, it was passed on to me from a friend. I wasn't going to read it before many of the other books I had, but then I met someone else who loves R.L. Stine. I decided to pass it on to him when I found out this is the first book he ever wrote for teens. I thought that by itself was very cool.
The story is pretty good actually. The plot and theme sound a little familiar, but once you start reading it, you realize that Stine made an original story out of it. Character development, suspense, and details made this a remarkable story.
Stine is notorious for his use of details to pull the reader into the story. One of the most adored characteristics of the Goosebumps series is his use of gory, creepy, or mysterious details that make the reader really think. Because stine does this well, I can really picture the events and the characters as if I was there. I like authors that can do that.
Stine also builds suspense throughout the story. Even though the plot is an obvious one, the complications Kerry faces are still unexpected. I certainly didn't know what was really going on until he revealed it all in the end. He kept me guessing throughout the story.
My favorite part of this story was character development though. Kerry is a typical boy. I didn't really like his personality much, but he is familiar to me and a lot of kids my age. I know Kerry is representative of teenagers and because of that, readers will be able to associate. The best character however was Mandy.
The story is told from a third person point of view looking over Kerry's shoulder. If it had been told from Mandy's point of view it might have been less suspenseful, but Mandy is awesome. Her personality sticks to the reader like glue. She even captured my affection early in the story. By the end of the book, even though she scared me, I still wanted to know her.
Stine wrote a really good story here. I know all of his current readers will like it. Since its his first, all his fans should read it.

It all starts out with a boy named Kerry ended up breaking the best football player on the team on accident, but everyone thinks else. Then things start to look better when he meets his blind date. When it's time to finally meet Mandy, a piece of the memory he had forgotten for almost a year ago comes back to him.
It is a mystery for him and the reader to find out what happened in his past as well as the mysterious Mandy. It's a spine-tingler and a good book for any thrill seeker.

R.L. Stine's first horror book is no doubt one of his best. You can actually tell he put effort in it, unlike most of his goosebump books which seem to display that he is merely pumping out books just to meat the demand. Although this book isn't a nightmare-causer (non of his books are) it is frightfully realistic (most of his books aren't) and thus creates a kind of unexplainable-horror that is what makes books so fantastic, great job R. L. Stine. . . its a shame all of your books aren't this good.

Have you ever found a bottle of vampire breath well i have not but Freddy Martinez and his friend Cara have.
The main characters are Freddy,Cara,and Count Nightwing.
It started at Freddy's house they decided to explore his basement then they found a coffin but there was nothing in it. Then they found a bottle that said "vampire breath." And then a vampire rose out of the coffin after they opened the bad smelling air. His name was Count Nightwing he was begging them to open the bottle so he could get back home they did that but they came also it was a castle in the 1880s. Then they met a girl named Gwendolyn, she helped them but then she turned into one. So would they make it out alive find out in vampire breath. This is a great book for kids who like horror and an exciting plot. Thank you for listening to this book review i hope this convinces you to read this great book.

Let's just say this: The only scary part about Goosebumps books is the cover. It's not even THAT scary.

But the books are fun to read and I will recommend it.

The story is about vampires. Kids. Bottle. Blood. Thirsty. Basement.

Freddy and his friend Cara are tough. When Freddy and Cara were fighting in Freddy's basemen, Cara pushed Freddy into an old cabinet thayt fell revealing a secret door. They opended the secret door and walked into a tunnel. At the end of the tunnel was another door. They opened the second door and walked in. Behind the door was a room with a coffin. They opend the coffin. All that was in it was a bottle of Vampire Breath. Freddy droped it and the cork poped off. When they were about to leave an old man apered. They thought he was dead when he got up and said "I'm thirsty, so very thirsty."
Boring, stupid and not scary at all. BAD BOOK DON"T READ IT!!!!

Vampire Breath 1/12/05 Vampire Breath is a book written a famous author, R. L. Stine. This book is from a series called Goosebumps. ( It's number 49.) It's perfect if you like confusing and funny stories. I love R. L. Stine's books, because he makes them funny and scary. This book is about a boy and his friend who wake up a vampire! In the end he finds out that he's a vampire too! It's fantasy because none of it can happen.

Freddy Martinez and his friend Cara are the tough ones at school. One day, While wrestling on the floor Cara accidentaly bumped Freddy and they saw a secret door. They followed the tunnel until they saw another door. When they opened the door, They saw a coffin. they opened it and saw Vampire Breath. Then Count Nightwing shows himself. When he was at the room, It looks like Count N. got amnesia because he does not know what's he doing. He went back to his past and Freddy and cara was there too. When i was in the ending, Freddy found out that Count nightwing was his grandfather. So Freddy's family were a parents of vampire!. Meanwhile, Cara saw Werewolf Sweat that turned her into a werewolf!.

Josie Maxwell conjured up an evil spirit in the first Seniors book. She thought it was gone forever. But it's not. And now that graduation day for the seniors at Shadyside High is coming up, the evil spirit is stronger. Will anyone be alive to graduate? Meanwhile, Clark admits that he is a vampire, and tries to suck Trisha Conrad's blood.

The Seniors series was a lot of fun. I loved finishing a book and then reading the next one to see who dies. But now it's over. And worst of all, this book ends with so many questions unanswered. Was Justin really Amy Fear? Who was that spirit talking during the seance in The Thirst? And many more. Also, the dead seniors come back to life in this book for a while. It was said that all of the dead seniors had come back to life, but only a few came back. What happened to all the other ones? Now to the vampire part. The idea of an evil spirit and a vampire in the same book isn't the smartest idea.

R.L. Stine was probably thinking of a quick way to end the Seniors series. I suggest reading the whole series, but don't let this one disappoint you too much.

the beginning of the book was interesting. but it began to get absolutely ridiculous about halfway through. so much of it didn't make sense. why did you need an evil spirit and a vampire in the same book. and the trip the two girls made to the fear mansion was just plain stupid. i normally love the r l stine books. but not this one.

"Graduation Day" is the 12th and last book in the Fear Street Seniors series. In it, the remaining senior class is haunted and tormented by an evil spirit summoned by one of their own classmates, Josie Maxwell. It's up to her to find a way to reverse the Doom Spell so she and her friends can graduate Shadyside High alive.

Meanwhile, Clark Dickson (aka Count Clarkula) shows his true nature as a vampire and seeks blood from the sci-fi nerd, Matty Winger, and the rich Fear descendent, Trisha Conrad. I'm not sure why a vampire had to be added to the plot (although I'm all for vampire stories) when the evil spirit seemed like enough of a threat. I guess I should probably read the other 11 books to find out, especially since--as usual--I've begun a series out of order, starting with the last book first. I wasn't completely lost, however. The yearbook pics at the beginning of the book were useful, but a little distracting. I kept flipping back every so often to find out who each character was, which really wasted a lot of my time while reading the book.

Overall, this is your typical Fear Street book. Most teen fans will probably enjoy it, but I thought it was a little too cheesy, even for kids. I mean, a spirit that won't let you graduate high school? Come on. Someone's really getting desperate for material. And it's always a bad sign when a horror book makes you laugh instead of cringe. So, maybe "Graduation Day" will scare younger readers, but I think I've finally outgrown the Fear Street books, even just for fun reading.

Recommended for Fear Street fans (age 12+)

I Started out reading the Senior Books last December. They were great. All my friends want to read them to. I think No.12 is verry good so far. Dont read it intill you have read all the other ones thats what i tell my friends. I love all the detail, Its so gross though. Its great you find out every thing about clark, Josie- ane the spirt trishe and her visions what one is making the school doomed. You have to read this book to find out.

I read graduation day a few days ago and it was really, really good. If you don't want to know what happens, don't read this review.

Josie Maxwell DID summon the evil spirit in book #1, and it claims two more victims in this book: Pheobe Yamura and Kenny Klein. The others who died are Greta Bradley, Danielle Cortez, Jade Feldman, Gary Fresno, Debra Lake, Dierdre Palmer, Ty Sullivan and Justin Thompson. Pheobe is hung upside-down from the gym roof, and Kenny Klein is killed by the evil spirit when it takes over his body. Clark Dickson (Count Clarkula) is a vampire, and he makes Matty Winger a vampire too. At the end, the spirit appears to josie telling her "it's time to finish my work, happy graduation day josie" and then it ends. A great book, well worth reading.

Read this book if you can, cause it rocks !

I just LOVED this book!! Starting with an innocent
easter egg hunt,you end up biting all of your fingernails off!!

This was such a great book. It had these little aliens who were kind of scary. I thought they were cute, and when the main kid is captured, they spring into action and save the day!

Egg Monsters From Mars was a really good book. When I started reading it, I couldn't put it down and I read it in two hours flat! It has mystery, although it's not too scary and the egg monsters from mars turn out to be friendly. It's good but not my favorite goosebumps book. 4 stars.

Egg Monsters from Mars was a pretty good book. The main character in this novel was a boy named Dana Johnson. Something crazy happend to him in this story. I liked some parts of the book and disliked other parts.Now here are some of my likes nd dislikes from reading this book.

The first thing I liked was at the very beginning of the book
when Dana's sister Brandy had an egg hunt at her party that turned into an egg war between the party guests. i also liked the fact that Dana had a very adventerous time in this sory like the time Dr. Gray tried to kidnap him. Dr. Gray was a bad guy who told Mr. Johnson a lie that he had never seen Dana before when Mr. Johnson asked him this question at Dr. Gray's lab.

i disliked that the author went a little too oveboard on the details about the egg monsters. i also disliked the book's ending left you hanging because dana brought his parents to the lband the egg monsters and Dr. Gray had disappeared and no reason was given.

Overall I thought it was a good book. I would give it three out of five stars. L would recmmend this book for fourth graders going into fifth grade. You should read this book because if you do, you will probably like it, and you will want to read the rest of the books in the series of Goosebump stories by R.L. Stine.

Now this book is just as interesting as the title is!!! Its more sci-fci then horror. Its not scary, but is VERRRRRY interesting!!!

Dana Johnson is a normal 12yr boy with a totally bratty sister who get's whatever she wants whenever she wants. She demands an egg hunt for her birthday party... And so of course she get's one!!!

Now Dana to his suprize finds an egg the size of a softball in his yard with purple viens, and it throbs... He keeps the egg in his sock droor to keep it from his little sister. Soon one day he finds it hatched in his sock droor. But its nothing that normally fromes from an egg... Its a small yellow,gooey,slimy creature with beedy black eyes. Dana is shocked, but he wants to know what it is and he takes it to the science lab in his town to have them check it out.

And that's just where the fun begins!!!

To find out the rest read this interesting book it has and interesting ending as well!!!

God Bless ~Amy

A Fear Street prowler is on the loose, and Melissa is determined that he is in her bedroom and harrassing her. Her parents do not believe her. Is it her imagination, or is the prowler actually in her bedroom?

There are some fun adventures. You will keep wondering about this "prowler" until you reach the end; you will want to keep reading until you find out.

The end has a very interesting and unique twist. I liked the end. However, this book wasn't quite good enough to give 5 stars to. My favorite R.L. Stine books are "Hit and Run", "The Rich Girl", and my very favorites, "The Babysitter" (I-IV).

This is a good teen book, and I would recommend it to a teen. I would not recommend it to an adult, unless it is an adult who occasionally enjoys fun, less serious, teen books.

I've read some good books and some bad books, but I have never read a book that sucked me right in and jumped to the main part like Haunted by R.L Stine. I enjoyed reading this book because it gave me the chills. For example, when Melissa is in her room asleep and wakes up to find a guy standing beside her bedroom window. When her parents come into her bedroom they can't seem to find any one inside or outside her bedroom window. Could she have been dreaming it or was it real? What about when Melissa is driving to her friend's house and hears her named whispered three times in her ear? Once she starts to freak out something takes control over her steering wheel and swerves to the right. She tries to gain control of the wheel when it swerves to the right again. Who or what is taking over the wheel when Melissa is all by her self in the car?
Through out the book Melissa tries to find out who this mysterious guy is and what it is he wants from her and why? R.L Stine has written other books but not as good and mysterious for teen as Haunted. That is why I enjoyed reading this book; all it's excitement and mystery.

PARENTS & TEACHERS: Please be alert to what your children are reading! HAUNTED (FEAR STREET 8) contains sexual references, disrespect of a young girl by boys in several chapters, drinking, guns, and bloody violence. I won't provide the details, as I'm sure young kids read these reviews as well as adults, and my whole purpose in this review is to protect their young minds. How are these books marketed to nine year olds?!?! This is a popular author, R.L. Stein, also known for the Goosebumps series. If you're a librarian in an elementary school, please pull these books.

Having read a few books from the Fear Street series, I decided to read a few move, including "Haunted" for fun.

There is a prowler in Fear Street who is breaking into everyone's houses and robbing them. Melissa Dryden, a teenager living in Fear Street is scared that they prowler might attack her family one day, and gets terrified when small things like tree branches hit her windows. Soon, she starts experiencing strange things like a shadow prancing in her room, her new car steering out of control, and someone trying to push her out of her bedroom window. No one believes her since they think she is imagining it because of her fear of the prowler. However, she knows that there is a ghost in her room trying to kill her, and she tries to get to the bottom of it by figuring out who he is, and how she can prevent him from killing her.

Although the ending was a little predictable, I still enjoyed reading this book because it had a lot of twists and turns. I found it really intriguing during the middle where Melissa is confused as to whether the ghost is really a ghost or not. What I also liked about it was the fact that it was simple enough to enjoy. Some of Stine's Fear Street stories tend to be really confusing, especially towards the end, but this story was fast paced and not complicated.

On the whole, I would rate this as one of the better Fear Street books that Stine has written. I would recommend this to anyone who likes reading ghost stories or is a fan of R. L. Stine's work.

An angry ghosts haunts Melissa in her bedroom!He claims SHE killed him, but she has no memory of this!
Oddly, she then meets a living version of the avengeful ghost boy.And he is even scarier and meaner than his doppelganger.
How will Melissa protect herself from the living Paul and the dead one?How will she prove that she is NOT the killer?And why are there 2 of them anyway?
I could not keep my head out of it!

This book was just great!!! This is a book that really keeps you guessing. Almost all of my friends have read this book. This book was soooo good that i read it in 2 days.

Who Killed the Homecoming Queen, by R. L. Stine is a book I read recently. From page one I became interested to know what was going to happen next! I couldn't put it down. While in class I wanted to hurry up with my work so I could read. Right when I got home I would read! I was so anxious to read it and get to the end! I read a lot of R.L. Stine books but this book was absolutly the BEST book I ever read! It kept me guessing the WHOLE time, you will not BELIEVE the ending! I was so sad that the book ended. I haven't yet found another book that amounts to this brillant book by R.L. Stine!!! Read this book and find out who killed the homecoming queen!

this book was so cool the ending had a real twist when they find out who the killer was was a really good twist r.l.stine can still keep them coming

This was the first Fear Street book that I've read and I thought that it was fantastic. It kept me guessing until the very end and I couldn't put it down at all. It was a really great book and I would recommend it to everyone who likes Fear Street books.

One book I recently read was Who Killed The Homecoming Queen? by R.L Stine.It's a book out of his Fear Street series. This book is so wonderful. It's about a girl named Tania. Her life is going great. She gets a cute boyfriend, she gets a new stepbrother, she gets voted homecoming queen, and she gets to star in one of her friend's films. Suprised by all this her "enemy" Leslie gets jealous. Tania has everything Leslie's ever wanted. Then one day while shooting the film she starred in, her friends find her on the bleachers-limp and lifeless. Just as they get back from dialing 911, they come back with the paramedics only to find empty bleachers. They couldn't find Leslie any where around. And while the paramedics are questioning them on if it's all a joke, they are trying to figure out what happened to Tania. Now a whole feud begins on who really killed the homecoming queen? I would recommend this book to those who like to read suspenseful books or stories. The other good thing about the book, other than it's suspenseful is that it deals with kids close to our age- which I think makes it more interesting.

The book "Broken Date" is such a great book. It has two main characters, Tom and Jamie they have been going out since junior high and they are planning to go to college together and later get married. Everything is fine until tom breaks a date. Anna her friend invites her to the mall. Jamie goes in a jewelry store called "Diamond Ranch" Jamie saw a man being pointed at with a gun and the guy holding the gun was tom. I really recommend this book because it is such a high-quality book. This book will be good for people that love reading stories. I liked it because it is a scary story and I love reading scary stories.

Jamie and Tom have been together for a long time. But Jamie's heart gets broken when Tom doesn't show up for a date. Jamie calls and calls but he never picksup,so she called her best friend Ann-Marie. Then Ann-Marie said how about we go to the mall to relax your mind.And Jamie said OK.
When they got to the mall Ann-Marie saw some pink Reeboks for half off. Jamie didn't like the color of the shoes,so she told Ann-Marie that she would be in the Record store.But instead of going in the Record store she went into the jewelry store to buy her mom a gift.
As she entered the store it was empty,so she walked further into the store.There she saw the manager getting robbed.she started to make a run to get out of there,but if she ran the robber might see her.She decides to hide behind the counter.
When she takes a look at the back of the robber's head she notices that his hair is sparkly-white like Tom's.
Could that be Tom? Could that be the reason why he didn't show up? Could that be the reason he didn't answer the phone? READ THIS BOOK THEN YOU'LL FIND OUT!

I personally think that Broken Date is a story that's mysterious and interesting at the same time. But does Jamie's boyfriend really want to kill her? Or is it just a BIG mistake? It really captures a reader when they read one of Stine's books.How do you do it Stine? How does it get so interesting? Your stories sounds so easy to come up with, but I think it still kind of hard. Is it Stine? I read alot of your books and they amaze me so much with the twisting endings! It's so unknowable to guess the ending. Stine your books are amazing!

Jamie's boyfriend Tom stands her up for a date, and she starts getting suspicious and paranoid as to why. Her best friend Ann-Marie tells her that there is probably a logical explanation as to why he stood her up.

Jamie then witnesses a jewelry store robbery, which doesn't help her already paranoid state.

At the end of the book, we find out if Tom is good or bad, and if he really had a logical reason or not for standing her up. But until then, Jamie is really "losing it" because of her suspicions. I can't say more, because I do not want to ruin it.

One star is missing because I felt the plot of this book was weaker than I liked. I do not compare books to books, because that would be unfair (judging on a sliding scale); I only judge on the one big 1-5 scale. On that scale, I felt this book did not quite rise to the 5-star level. I am an adult, and I do take into consideration that a teen book will be a little less complicated (which is good, because sometimes we adults need simpler, fun books); even with that consideration, I felt 4 stars were fair.

i was just wondering did any guys read this book besides me because the inside cover of the book says espcially for girls, at least in the hardcover i got. i thought it was a pretty bad book but i was wondering if its because im a guy?

At first I thought this book was going to be boring but after I read this I thought it was great. That thats why I read the book at my favorite part. It was the time that Billy used the ice tea trick to keep himself from drinking a bottle of plankton Dr.Ritter made to enlarge sea animals but it will turn people into a fish forever. Good thing that didn't happen.

These books are helping my grandson learn the enjoyment of reading. He was having a hard time, but these books hold his attention and he really looks forward to getting a new one in the series.

Shun the haters of this book.I loved this book.It was the greatest goosebumps book of all time.My favorite part is when the kid woke up as a monster. Mom,I love it that you picked this awesome book.

first of all every goosebumps book is the same main charaters always nerds geeks or losers. the guy here matt is a total geek(ant attack on pluto okay) so the plot to this is not the best it shows r.l. stine getting sick of wrting 120 page books this being #53 so his room is really small right and the guest room is bigger one night sleeps in that room gets trapped in different nightmares everyday or a reality hole what ever that is
read the book to find out if the geek dies or lives on to go to pluto

Imagine if you woke up one day and you were not you? No better yet, imagine if you were still you, but you and your entire reality was changed. How would you deal with it? Well, Matt Amsterdam dealt with it by freaking out.
With another Goosebumps book under his belt, R.L. Stine tells the fictional and strange story of Matthew Amsterdam in Don't Go To Sleep.
Matt is a 12-year-old boy who is considered to be a geek because of his love of Star Wars and things that come from outer space. He has a 15-year-old sister named Pamela and a brother named Greg, who is 16 years old, and all three of then live with their mother. Matt is angry most of the time because his brother and sister make fun of him nonstop. Matt's room is the smallest room in the house.
One night Matt got fed up with his tiny room so he slept in the guest room, which his grandparents slept in only once a year. When he woke up the next morning, he was physically 16 years old. He knew that he was still himself, but his entire outside life had changed. Evidently, he fell into a reality warp when he slept in the guest room. Every time that he fell asleep and woke up, he transferred into another reality. He became a 16 year old, a different 12 year old, an 8 year old circus lion tamer, an old man, a "Swamp Thing" like creature, a squirrel and a chubbier 12 year old. His changes helped him and hurted him. When he was the creature, he went on a rampage and destroyed everything in town. During this all, these three kids, Lindy, Bruce and Wayne were trying to capture Matt.
I would not recommend this book to anyone because I think it is corny. If you like reading a book that is weird, then you would enjoy it, otherwise you should not read it.

This story is about a boy who hates his closet-sized room.After begging his mom to let him sleep in the guest room,he decides to sneak into the guest room.BIG mistake!!He wakes up a teenager! That and other nightmares taunt him in this book.

He became a 16 year old, a different 12 year old, an 8 year old circus lion tamer, an old man, a "Swamp Thing" like creature, a squirrel and a chubbier 12 year old. His changes helped him and hurted him. When he was the creature, he went on a rampage and destroyed everything in town. During this all, these three kids, Lindy, Bruce and Wayne were trying to capture Matt.
I would not recommend this book to anyone because I think it is corny. If you like reading a book that is weird, then you would enjoy it, otherwise you should not read it.

This story is about a boy who hates his closet-sized room.After begging his mom to let him sleep in the guest room,he decides to sneak into the guest room.BIG mistake!!He wakes up a teenager! That and other nightmares taunt him in this book.
