Summary: Samantha's Review
Review: 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.

Summary: Troubles of the Real World Crossed with the Imagination of R
Review: 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.

Summary: Book Report
Review: Blind Date was an okay book. I thought it was confusing sometimes though. I don't think that it's the best book, but it was alright. Blind Date was about a guy named Kerry who was set up for a blind date with Mandy from his school. Mandy was kind of strange. Like the time she picked up Kerry dressed up in a poncho(which is a rain coat). I thought this book was kind of neat though when Mandy would stick up for Kerry, because the football players would pick on him. Thwe reason they picked on him was because he broke the starting quaterback's leg on their football team so he quit. Later on you'll find out if Mandy is the girl of Kerry's dreams or a real nightmare for Kerry. I recommend this book for people that like mystery books.

Summary: I could figure it out
Review: I pretty much knew what was going on and who the date was throughout the book. It had some cool things in it, like Kerry's big fight with the football boys, but it was still too predictable. It is a good read, thoug, so it's not a total drag.

Summary: Jumping from Thought 2 Thought
Review: I read Blind Date in only a day because of R.L. Stine's suspenseful way of writing and the way he makes u turn in another direction when it always leads back to the same path. What I mean is that he would lead you to think one thing which was correct and kind of predictable but then it's not always the truth. For example he sends you hints that the blind date is the main character's brother's girlfriend's sister (kind of confusing) which is what the insane date tells the main character toward the end, but turns out she was just a crazy girl that had made this person in her mind that was not real. You must read this book if you wish to really understand what I mean.

Summary: Blind Date- A Page Turner For All Ages.
Review: 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.

Summary: It was a good book but not the best.
Review: It couldv'e been better but the ending had a twist in it. You never expected the person who was the "blind date."

Summary: Blind Date written by R.L.Stine
Review: Personally I would never be caught dead on a blind date, but that's what Kerry was did. Everyone in his high school thinks he's a loser! No one wants to be his friend, no girl wants to be near him, and the football team hates him. He wishes he could be just like his older brother who was the most popular guy around with a girlfriend. Kerry is happy with his new girlfriend, well until things started changing.
