Rating: Summary: Intense Review: A murder shocks a small town. It looks like a wild animal might have committed the crime (a la Poe's Murder in the Rue Morgue), but a local teenager is not so sure. A supernatural twist later and we get one of the most powerful Pike explanations ever. And it saves the book.
Rating: Summary: Boring as can be' Review: A Review by JoshThis is the tale of a young man named Alex. Alex is a normal person until strange things start happening around him after one of his classmates is suspected of brutally murdering his girlfriend. These events build and form into a truly ridiculous climax (for a horror novel). 'This book had potential.' That's what I think when I look back upon reading this book. I honestly believe that this book had a semi-interesting story which could have been made MUCH better, had the author not written it like some kind of comic book. The book's just plain corny! It also doesn't make much sense and is not written in an easily understandable format. For example, the story keeps fairly believable up until it gets close to the end, where there are waterfalls of blood or something like that, gigantic birds swooping at people, and even African exchange students uncovering their secret African Shaman powers (how lame does it get?). It hardly even follows with the summary given on the back cover, which is why I read the stupid thing in the first place, and is usually the reason that anybody ever reads a book. That's false advertising! The only recommendation I'm giving on this book is to not bother with it, it's just not worth it'.
Rating: Summary: WOW! Review: An amazing book! incredibly suspenseful! my favorite book from C. P. It has incredibly vivid detail.
Rating: Summary: Best Christopher Pike story yet!! Review: Do you like a mystery? Do you like a murder mystery? Do you like an exciting murder mystery? Well if you do, read Spellboud. This is an exciting book with some action. When I read this book there was nothing to do to get me away from reading this book. In the story love is combined with daring acts. When the story begins a young lady has been murdered by a supposed grizzly bear. Was it really a grizzly or was it something else? What kin of spell was cast? This book is a really good book and I recommend that you read it. I really like this book so I know you will.
Rating: Summary: Spellbound Review: I am 23 years old. I read this book when I was a teenager and I still remember it as one of the best books I have ever read. Christopher Pike has a wonderful imagination.

Rating: Summary: The Worst Christopher Pike book ever Review: I can't believe it... I've found a Christopher Pike I can't stand. This book is really crappy and far fetched. At the end of the book, a girl's soul gets trapped in a parrot. Give me a break. I don't like the Christopher Pike books that envolve the supernatural and science fictiion, I like the stories such as Chain Letter and Weekend. Spellbound is definitely Pike's worst, and I'm his # 1 fan. better luck next time. Try Master of Murder or another one of his books for something really scary.
Rating: Summary: One of his original bests. Review: I loved this book. It had all there is to have. By this, i mean romance, sci-fi, supernatural, drama. . . A story of love, of survival, and a story that shows you something new each time you read it. A classic pike book.

Rating: Summary: Pike Delivers Awesome read once again! Review: I may be only a 12 girl, but i am practically obsessed with Pike's collection of books. I just read this book yesterday, and i absolutley loved it! It was amazing, like all his books. I hope there is a second one....... but then again, thats how I feel about all his books! I encourage everyone to read this book! Pike is an awesome writer and deserves to be recognized as such.
