Customer Reviews

One of my favorites!

One of my favorites! I've read all of Christopher Pike's YA horror books (when I was a teen and, again, when I was in my 30's), and I'm rating my favorites now with a similar review just to let you know what books are his absolute best, in my opinion. This is in my top 5!

Glue you to the seat...

Jennifer woke up not remembering who she was, why she was where she was and... who the dead girl was lying so near her. The girl was stabbed brutally to death. Somehow, she found her way home but things didn't getter better nor did she regained her memory. When morning came, she discovered that the dead girl was exactually her best friend, Crystal, but she still could not remember her. Although Jennifer had lost her memory, she firmly believed that she was no murderer, expecially one who could kill her best friend. But time was running out and the police were beginning to suspect that she was the murderer while the real murderer was on the lose. She had to find him/her fast or else...This is a real page-turner that can keep you glued to your seat, or your bed if you read in bed!

Amazing Book

I can't say enough about this book, it's a masterpiece in my POV. I used to be a big R.L. Stine fan, but when I read this book 2 years ago, it tottally changed me, it's a story about a girl who wakes up in the woods not remebering anything, and how she goes to find the killer of her dead best friend. I must say it's somewhat Science Fiction (more so than horror) but Its amazing. I read this book in 5 hours and couldn't put it down. A must read for anyone, not just a CP fan, because I still am not that much of his books other that the remeber me trilogy, but this book is a must have (although the title is pretty pathetic).

This Book Was Really Really GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was the first pike book i had read and i just could'nt put it down!!Infact i read it in less then a day!!

Very good, but a little weird.

This book was good enough for me to finish in two days, and I thought the concept was very interesting. For those of you who enjoy reading and living through the narrators eyes. As the book goes along, you know as much as the narrator, as she desperately tries to find a killer and retrieve her memory.
