Summary: Chris Creed's Finally Done It...
Review: This book is going down in my personal hall of fame - "The Body of Christopher Creed" gives us all a look into the minds of people we scorn and point fingers at. One day, those people won't be around for you to apologize to. And one day, they'll get you back - in ways you'd never imagined. Realization, guilt, and most of all, horror at the way you've treated another living being.Chris Creed is easily classed at the outcast - there's one in every school. But it's totally unexpected when one day he just dissapears, leaving only a cryptic e-mail behind. Tory, a classmate, is popular, good looking, and slightly niave. He doesn't know what's going on behind the scenes until he shifts backstage himself. Torey's tossed into a world that's not as perfect as his own. Torey slowly drifts apart from his friends as he feels increasing admiration for his new ones - ones that don't have it as great. There's Ali, a childhood friend going down with a bad reputation; Boe, a burly kid from the boondocks with a criminial record, and even, in an odd way, Chris Creed. Suddenly, Torey sees different sides to people he thought he knew - Ali's mom's abusive boyfriend, Boe's caring, gentler side. And the dark, hidden secret of his own home, Steepleton.

Summary: Awesome book!!!!!!
Review: When i picked up this book I was not sure if it was going to be good or not. I had not heard much about it and had never heard of this author before. As soon as I read the first chapter of the book I was hooked. I started reading the book in the late afternoon and didnt put it down till dinner. It is a great book, and was so mysterious and suspensful. I loved it! I finished in within 2 days. I would recommend this book to anyone ages 13 and up. "The Body of Christopher Creed" is about a rich kid named Victor "Torey" Adams, who according to most people has a perfect life. When the school nerd Christopher disappears, at first nobody thinks much of it. But as the book goes on Torey becomes more and more obsessed about what happened to Christopher. Was it a suicide, a murder, or a runaway? Nobody knows. Suspicions rise and Torey finds him self loosing touch with his friends and becoming more friends with a girl named Ali who is considered a slut, but is really very nice and not one, and Bo the school "boon" aka. bully. Torey realizes Bo and Ali's true nature. This book is so great! Trust me you will not be able to put it down. I dont want ot give away the ending, so go out and get it!!

Summary: Great mystery
Review: What happened to Christopher Creed, the class outcast? Was he kidnapped? Murdered? A suicide? Did his parents have anything to do with it? How about Bo, who's been acting suspicious? And why does cool, popular Torey Adams have the uncomfortable feeling that Chris wouldn't be gone if Torey and his friends had been nicer to him? The great thing about this book is that it is an exciting mystery while still being totally realistic. When Torey and his friends talk in the cafeteria, it is just the type of stuff normal teens talk about -- or would talk about if one of their classmates mysteriously disappeared. A must read.

Summary: It's Aiight...
Review: High School drama is an excepted thing nowadays. Bullies, preps, jocks and nerds clash socially throughout the year and sometimes physically. Christopher Creed was easily classified as a nerd, but not even that because nerds where excepted somewhere in society yet Chris was not. Creed was a High school outcast who was bullied, beat up and then disappeared. The unexpected disappearance of the young man came as a shock to the town of Steepleton, New Jersey. The last sign of Chris was the cryptic email he sent to the principle the day before he disappeared. A childhood friend, Ali, begins her own investigation into her missing friend since the town seems to take the disappearance as a joke and hallway gossip. Ali begins to suspect Chris's own mother, the military like, controlling and selfish mother Ali believes her to be gets in the way of the truth about whether the Chris is dead or alive. This is a fascinating, story about a boy and town searching for truth and deception. A description of how people hide behind the truth and what it takes for it to actually come out.

Summary: Incredibly Exciting and Very Suspenseful
Review: The "Body of Christopher Creed" could possibly go on my all-time favorite mystery book list. The book was suspenseful and chilling from the start of the book to the finish. It was one of those types of books in which I couldn't put down. Every free minute was spend reading this book. Carol Plum-Ucci did a good job in making the book a very intriquing. At times, this book gave me the chills. At the end of each chapter, I was left hanging and wanting to read more to see what happened next. I recommend this book to readers who are especially interested in mystery books.

Summary: An amazing story
Review: This story is quite fascinating in the way that the author portrays a teenage boy's discovery of truth and deception in a small suburban town in Southern New Jersey. It perfectly describes the way that small towns work, and how society and community can often hide within themselves amazing truths of secrets and power. This book tells the tale of a boy, named Christopher Creed, who has gone missing, leaving nothing behind but a laminated treasure map, a hidden diary, and a cryptic last letter to his principal. Torey, along with his friends Ali and the outsider Bo, must find a way to exculpate himself as well as Bo, or else be placed in the ridicule and judgement of his tightly knit community. The most interesting aspect of this book is that it is a quick and easy read, but manages to be incredibly fascinating and exciting. The ending will shock you, since the story eventually becomes an interwoven tale of two outsider's stories and how their lives are affected by the way people treat them. Overall, this book is one of the best I have ever read. It gets deep into people's minds, and exhibits the way that, during a crisis, bystanders and hypocrites, as well as life-savers and virtue are present, no matter what. I definitely reccomend this book. Also reccomended: Monster, Sloppy Firsts and Second Helpings, Harry Potter, anything by Dan Brown

Summary: The Body of Christopher Creed
Review: This book takes place in a small town called Steepleton where everyone knows
everybody. There's a boy that lives in Steepleton named Chris who was constantly
mocked since he was young and has suddenly disappeared, leaving nothing but a
mysterious letter. No one in Steepleton knows what happened to him, not even his own
mother. They don't know whether he was kidnapped, if he committed suicide or if he
just left town. Now everyone in Steepleton is blaming each other for Chris' disappearance and Torey and his friends are trying to get to the bottom of this mystery.
I enjoyed reading this book because it's suspenseful to the very end. There are so
many surprises in this book, I enjoyed reading every page. The characters in this story are
complex and they have there own opinions about Chris' disappearance.
The lesson to learn is you shouldn't be cruel to people because it might not seem
to affect them, but it hurts inside. Chris wasn't a bad person, he just wanted friends.
Nobody cared about him until he disappeared. In this story nobody wanted to admit that
they treated Chris badly.
I would recommend this book to people that love to read books that keep you on
the edge of your seat to the very end. It was honestly one of the best books I have ever
read because once you pick up this book up, you wont want to put it down until you read
it to the end.
