Awsome!

I thought this book was great! I was at the Library trying to find something to read, I have read almost every book in the children and teen sections and some adults. When I spotted this new book I thought, what the heck. So I took it home and finished the book in about 2 hours. I can't wait to read the next ones. Although I love his horror books, I feel this is the best book Pike has written! And I recomend it to all who want something new!

Alosha-interesting and fun

To me this story is too interesting i love it!Usually when i start reading a book i would read 1-2 pages and then put it down. But this book when i started i thought it would be a drag like other thick books with a boring front page. But when i came to the middle part of the book i started enjoying it and i couldn't wait to turn to the next page to find out what happens after. To all readers i strongly encourage this book at first it can be a bit boring but after a while you will realise that it gets interesting by the second, the next thing you know you won't put it down. 5 shining stars. i can't wait for the next book "the Shaktra" To Christopher HURRY WITH THE NEXT BOOK or else i'll drive myself CRAZY!

Alosha

this is a book that you would never want to put down no matter what . Usually when i read a book i won't even bother to read it,i would just read one or two pages and put it down but when i started this book i just couldn't stop reading it i read it for hours . I think everyone should read it.And i am also eagerly looking forward for the next book in the series "The Shaktra". i can't wait!

Alosha-captivating,sweet, dramatic, and more!

Alosha, as my title suggested is a captivating, witty, sweet, and dramatic book. Pike weaves hidden mysteries into 'Alosha.' It is a curious book-in this case, judging a book by it's cover really does help. I have always placed interest into fantasy books, REAL fantasy books. However, before I even see the inside of a book, I always notice the cover. The cover of 'Alosha' looks like some magical relam. It helped me notice the book, and pick it up. Also, the title. .. 'Alosha.' What did it mean? Another helper which made me more curious about this book. You soon find out. This book is captivating. (as I said before) My family planned a trip to Paris, and my Mother instructed me to buy a book or two to read on the airplane. I picked up the book, and started reading it in the bookstore. I couldnt force myself to put it down. By the middle of our airlane flight, I had finished it, so I read it again, just for the pure joy. Now, sweet-You really can care about this book. You can find youself feeling Ali's feelings. I loved being pulled into this book like that-it really is a good written piece of work. Dramatic-Definetly. Once you assume something about the book, another knew thing happens that completly throws your own assumption out the window. New events keep happening(sometimes a bit too often, but nothing bad),and you find yourself lost in the book. You are scared when bad things happen in this book-you hate bad characters, the story is surprising and it unveils new secrets about the book. My only complaint is that the book goes by too fast. Thankfully, it is one of those books that you can read over and over and still not get tired of it. I reccomend it strongly. Five stars. Be sure to tell Christopher Pike to hurry up and write 'The Shaktra,' before I die of curiosity(just kidding)
