Customer Reviews

Very similar to I know what you did last summer, but with a twist.

This book can be kind of hard to read because of the way it is it written, but once you get used to it, it is actually a pretty good book. I really enjoyed the plot twist at the end however the way it ended might leave you feeling sad and possibly wanting a little more.

The Big Secret

Chain Letter was a very good and exciting book.It is about a group of highschoolers that go to a concert and get drunk. When they leave to go home they hit a man walking on the road. He dies and they bury him. School starts and about middle of the year they get a letter from someone unknown. It tells them what to do and if they dont they will be in great danger. They do it but the more letters come things get weird. Group members start missing. they dont know what to do untill its too late.

Chain Letter by Christopher Pike

This book is about six teens who share a secret together, a secret they can't tell anyone about. Only one person knows exactly what they did and are continuiosly tortouring them one by one with a chain letter. At first it wasn't such a big deal, but later on it began to get scarier by the minute. The gang are convinced that it's either the devil or someone they know, maybe even one of them in the group. Read it! You won't regret it!

Chain Letter

This was one of Christopher Pike's best works to date. The struggle to save their lives while upholdind their dignities and morals is poignantly shown in this horror masterpiece that starts down the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" road, and manages not only to surpass that mediocre movie, but leave it in the dust. Pike's usually ever present supernatural twist is not involved in this book, but there is so much hinted mistery, you forget to miss it. Far less bloody than most of Christopher Pike's books, it is, nonetheless, chilling, scary, and NOT FOR PRETEENS. Other than that, read it, you won't regret it.

I have read about 20 of Christopher Pike's books and all were outstanding. I read one right after another and I couldn't stop reading them. The Chain Letter is the best one I read. It is like I Know What You Did Last Summer but better. You never know what's going to happen next and you never want to put the book down. It is one of the best books I have ever read!

This is a MUST-READ for all thrillseekers, (for books)!

This is a wonderful book! The twist and turns of it are just so suspenceful. They really make you want to read it until your done. It has got an interesting ending. You really don't see it coming. If you read this book, please, I advise you, READ IT CAREFULLY! There are certain things that you will be able to use throughout the book to help piece the "puzzle" together. At some times, you will probably think that Christopher, (the writer), has gone off into another world with some odd-ball thing that doesn't make sense, but this is NOT true. Just keeo reading on and you will understand the funny joke, or the ect. in it. This is a terrific book, and I will tell you no more, for I fear that if I do, I will sucseed in telling you very secret for this book. Have fun reading it and remember: THINK ABOUT IMPORTANT THINGS! :)
