This was a good book, I didn't rate five stars because I typically rate books that I want to read again as a five.

Dublin pathologist Quirke cannot seem to tame his curiosity. After opening up a Pandora's box of family secrets in “Christine Falls,” Quirke now finds himself driven to discover how and why Deidre Hunt, aka Laura Swan, turned up dead in a lake near Dublin and ended up in his morgue. Why does Billy Hunt, his former classmate and Deidre's husband, plead with him not to do an autopsy? Why does he, Quirke, care? In his stubborn way, Quirke is like a dog with a bone: he knows he should bury it but he can't seem to quit gnawing on it. At the same time he's attempting to discover Deidre's fatal secrets, he's also trying to get closer to his daughter, who has only recently learned of the true biological relationship between them. In a word, Quirke's life is still messy, which makes his character both realistically annoying and somehow endearing. Women can't seem to help falling for him even while he works to sidestep anything that smacks of a relationship. Balancing Quirke's dogged efforts at detection are a host of odd characters and suspects: Deidre Hunt (Laura Swan), the deceased former proprietor of The Silver Swan salon, as well as business partner and mistress to Leslie White; Billy Hunt, Deidre's husband and Quirke's former classmate; Leslie White, a somewhat effete scam artist who Quirke senses is central to Deidre's untimely end; Kate, Leslie's wife, who has kicked him out and now finds herself attracted to Quirke; Dr. Kreutz, spiritual healer, who is running his own scam on the women he treats, including Deidre; and Phoebe, Quirke's daughter, who is depressed and angry at her father and who also falls under Leslie White's spell. In addition, there are the members of Quirke's extended family circle whom we met in “Christine Falls” and whose stories continue here. In this excellent sequel, Jonathan Black demonstrates his considerable storytelling skills in juggling all these characters and their stories. Some stories are told from the character's perspective; some are told from a more omniscient view. But eventually all merge together and lead to a satisfying conclusion. If there is one failing in this book it's that the reader keeps wishing to see more of Quirke. There's a certain level of frustration and tension created by the scarcity of the main character—but then, that's the magic and mystery of Quirke. Despite the clouds that follow him everywhere, I am definitely looking forward to his return.

** spoiler alert ** This story was horribly sad. A baby was shot and killed…as well as the wife of the protagonist…not to mention almost every other main character was killed off in some way. The events are probably realistic in the sense that if a zombie apocalypse happened, and there was a group of survivors led by a crazy, Governor-like character, a lot of people would actually die, but I have a hard time giving even a well-written, realistic story like this five stars. I’m going to give it a 3.5, because it doesn’t leave me with a sense of awe like other volumes have…I am left more with a sense of melancholy.

Powerful book. Unique style of writing. This is not uplifting subject matter, but it is very well written.

When I first read the Fear Street Series as a young child, I thought they were spooky books. I eagerly anticipated author R.L. Stine's next novel because all the strange things that occurred on Fear Street were connected in each succeeding book. This title was no exception. My first two readings of Double Date were enjoyable ones. I was around eleven years old the first time I read it and probably around fourteen the second time. So, when I saw the book on sale for $0.25 at the Friends of the Library Sale in Eureka, CA, I knew I couldn't pass up this opportunity to revisit a childhood favorite. The story is about a high school boy named Bobby Newkirk. He's obsessed with his good looks and believes he's God's gift to women. All the girls want him, and once he's dated them for a little while, he discards them like used tissues. That is until he meets his biggest challenge: the Wade twins. Samantha and Bree are as different as night and day, and Bobby's determined to make himself a high school legend at Shadyside High. Who else has the animal magnetism and the self-confidence to date twins at the same time? No one but "Bobby the man." Of course Bobby is not someone the reader should admire. His conceitedness and chauvinistic-machismo attitude is revealed in the first page. He's a high school "player." As an adult, it was a little difficult to stomach the entire novel knowing what I do about women's rights and feminism. Plus, Bobby's character is really despicable, an utter creep. Of course, I don't think middle school/pre-teen readers will be worried about the social and cultural implications of the main character in Double Date. After all, it's a classic horror piece, and R.L. Stine creates a story that teaches a valuable lesson about how women should and shouldn't be treated in his traditional, twisted manner. The setting of the novel is Shadyside High, the Fear Street High School. Unfortunately, the location is not highlighted enough when you consider the rich and vivid world that R.L. Stine has developed. Mainly, side characters just mention that strange things happen because they live on Fear Street, as if that explains the horrors that occur. As previously stated, the main character is Bobby and the plot centers on his love triangle with Samantha and Bree Wade, twins that moved to Fear Street a year ago. Other minor characters include Bobby's band players, Arnie and Paul. The book is also littered with a variety of cheerleaders and other women that Bobby has dated. The boy really leaves a string of jaded women with broken hearts behind him. There's not a lot of character development, but what do you expect from a book that's 150 pages? What it lacks in development is made up by Stine's craftiness at creating a delectable horror novel for children and young adults. There are no literary elements used, and there is not a lot of depth to the story. However, Stine does teach children a valuable lesson about how actions have consequences. In this case, it's treat others the way you want to be treated...or else... The nice thing about Double Date, and really all of R.L. Stine's writings, is that they are age approach despite their subject matter. In this case, I would say readers as young as ten or eleven would enjoy Double Date. There are no sex scenes, and the furthest physical contact that "Bobby the man" has with any of the girls that he dates is kissing. There is no foul language, and although it's spooky, there are no real dangerous or violent scenes until the very end, and even that is almost comical, especially from an adult's perspective. Considering some of the teen horror novels that are out there, R.L. Stine is really "old school" and gets a PG rating from me. If you are still a concerned parent, I would recommend reading it for yourself before giving it to your child. Teenagers, though, should be able to handle the content of this novel easily enough. As an adult reader, the novel is boring. It can't compare to literary horror geniuses like Stephen King or Dean Koontz. The writing is pedantic and predictable. As a younger reader, I remember it being suspenseful, thrilling, and mysterious. Not anymore. Perhaps part of my disappointment was because I already knew the ending, or perhaps it was because I've developed intellectually as a reader. Regardless, the age of the reader will affect the enjoyment of Double Date. Overall, Double Date is a quick read that shouldn't take most readers longer than a day to finish. It's a good introduction to the horror genre for young people, but it isn't the best Fear Street novel by R.L. Stine. Still, it was a nice visit down memory lane reading the book as an adult. It marks my third read, which was enough for me. In the future, I won't be going on a fourth date.

After 3 reneals and an 18cents fine from our local library, I have managed to finish it and I must say, wasn't impressed. I had notice a few typho's in the book by the publisher had forgetten where but they are there. The only character that I truly enjoyed in the book is Dustfinger. Why because he wanted to get back into the book and played around with fire ( for shows ) and has a little marten with him. Was truly dissapointes with the book and to be honest I like the film more with Brendan Fraser as Mo.

The novel about the one mistake made by a human doctor only trying to look out for the future of his family. This decision is carried throughout the rest of the doctor's & his family's life. It is a heartbreaking insightful story about a family and the struggles of having to live with a secret, and carrying this mistake throughout life. It's a rather depressing look at the ramifications of what this can do to tear up a family and home.
