3.0 out of 5 stars Hard to get through...., Jan 1 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Broken Date (Mass Market Paperback)

I found this book difficult to get through. It was somewhat boring with little suspense and not very scary. The ending was a bit obvious ( you'll see why if you read it) and not much happened. Most of the excitement was at the beginning and then it slowed down to the end. By the end, I had to force myself to read the last few pages.

By A Customer

This review is from: Broken Date (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is filled with suspense and thrills all the way.One minute you think its one person but think again it may not be the person you expected.It may be someone completely different.It makes you wonder if you really actually are right about your guess.

2.0 out of 5 stars Okay...there's something about this book..., Jun 21 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Broken Date (Mass Market Paperback)

Okay, this was an early thriller by R.L., and for some reason, all his early work S***! I'm serious. He used to write some stuff so bad, I wonder why it was published. I really think that Stine thinks that Young adult readers are like Goosebump readers who like work that can't be credited at any point. (Let me add that Goosebumps was a good idea, but, man, those books are such crap.) This story made no sense. Jamie sees some guy (her boyfriend?) robbing a jewelry store at the mall when he should have come and picked her up for a date. And apparently, he saw her and now he wants to kill her. Well, hello! If the store is in the freakin mall, then wouldn't all the passer-bys see the hold-up! The ending is pretty lame. It was like a bad knock-off of some crappy action movie. And wait until you read about the hillbillies. (You'll understand when you read it.) Really, the story was okay, but I use the term loosely. I didn't hate the book as much as I hated "Call Waiting." That is the worst piece of literary work on the shelves today.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fair
It was the worst R.L.Stine book I have ever read. It could have been better. Hardly any guessing. You know who the killer already is.
