Summary: "He took a picture of death...."
Review: "Die Softly" takes place in Mannville, California, a small town virtually empty of crime. The book alternates between the present and past events leading up to several teen murders. In an investigative phone call between Sergeant Fitzsimmons and Herb Trasker (the 18-year-old male protagonist), Herb explains how he became involved in the murder of a popular cheerleader and various other high school students.Friday:
It began as an immature plan to "get even" with the cheerleader squad by photographing them while they showered in the locker rooms after practice. Shortly after the scheduled photo shoot, the head cheerleader (Lisa Barnscull) dies in a fiery auto crash at the bottom of a cliff. Herb doesn't think much of the connection between these two events until he's developing the film--and he recognizes two people in the background (one being Sammie Smith, one of his closest friends, hiding in the shadows; the other is Alexa Close, the sweet cheerleader Herb has a crush on, who is creeping up on Lisa with a baseball bat). After this discovery, the next 24 hours are a complete blur for Herb. He trails one suspect after another during a nonstop sleepless night, knowing that if he isn't too careful with the information he has, he could be the next murder victim. When I began "Die Softly", I wasn't really into it, mainly because the dream in the prologue seemed pointless and a bit too long. But once Herb began describing the events of what happened to Sergeant Fitzsimmons, the book quickly became more interesting. One bit of advice, though: no matter how tempting it is, do not read the last page/sentence of this book ahead of time. I did and it completely ruined the suspense for me. Other than that, if you're into teen horror/suspense, then this is a good book to try. It's really fast-paced and twisted (particularly the ending), everything typical of a good Pike book.

Summary: AMAZING!
Review: Die Softly is a book I'd suggest to anyone! Last summer I bought it, read the first page...and didn't understand it's format so I put it down. Then a week ago I picked it up and kept reading I just finsihed today and love it! Herb was my favorite character, You'll love him too! He's one heck of a character. The whole book is centered on Herb setting a camera up in the girls showers, then capturing a murder on film. Now people are dieing and things must be stopped---that's all I can say now, READ DIE SOFTLY!!!

Summary: cool
Review: How far would you go for the person you loved? The person you had a crush on for years and you'd do anything for them to pay attention to you, anything so that they'd feel the same way. That's the way Herb Trasker feels about his crush Alexa. When one of his friends, one of the few that he has, suggests that he play a harmless prank on the cheerleaders by leaving his camera in the girls shower and photographing them. What turns out as a harmless prank doesn't end up so harmless after all, when Herb finds a picture with a girl getting killed. And, it's his beloved Alexa. Then, the girl that's in the picture ends up dying in a car crash. But, there's always a but, the picture shows that the girl might have been dead long before the car accident. It leads to a bizarre chain of events and well, you have to read the book to find out.
