Summary: The GREATEST!
Review: This is definetly the best book that Christopher Pike has ever written. I cried and shivered the whole way through it. If you like this one, try Bury Me Deep and Witch as well.

Summary: The Eternal Enemy is one of Pike's best yet
Review: This is one of Pike's best books. The plot is brilliant and spellbinding. The element of time travel adds a powerful, tragic element to this beautifully crafted story. Rela is one of Pike's best written characters yet. The reader feels like they know her, and like her. I'd recommend this book for anyone looking for a good read

Summary: This book really makes you think!
Review: This story has a lot of twists and turns. I loved the ending. Rela has the oppurtunity to change the future.....but at what cost?

Summary: Fantastic
Review: This was one of the first CP books that I bought. Not read because I had read a few before this, but one of the first that I saw at the store when it first came out and had to buy. I thought the plot sounded incredibly intriguing.. I had figured out by then that the back covers of his novels just told the extremely watered down, skimpy version of the plot. Or plot points if you will.. So I couldn't wait to find out what was in store for me in this book.

It did not disappoint. Rela was incredibly real and easily related to. I could not wait to see what caused her to see into the future through her vcr and what she saw on the tape.. I admit at first that when it got into the robot part of the plot I was a tad iffy because I am not really big on sci-fi. But I swear you don't have to be to enjoy this book. He explains the plot in such a way that you understand it right away and you want to find out more..

I remember that the end shocked me. It still saddens me to think of it.

SPOILER



Rela was indeed brave to do what she did in the end. She gave up everything to make sure that the human race would survive and that the world would be a better place. She gave up her right to love.. I can not remember her boyfriend's name in the book. Was it Michael.. or maybe Chris even? It has been a couple years since I re-read this.. but I suprisingly remember most of this book accurately because it was that powerful and stayed with me. Anyway, Michael was the love of her life. Throughout the beginning of the book Rela talks about how all she wants in life is to be loved by him. She's not sure if he likes her as much as she likes him. Later it is revealed that he indeed does. But then it gets somewhat complicated, even more so than already... I won't go into that even for the ppl that already know..

One thing that always stays with me is when Michael watches the tape Rela left for him and he finishes it and turns the movie off and says "I'll never be like that. That will never be me." And that is how the book ends. That line has always stayed with me.. much like the plot of this novel.

Summary: I'm not stupid, but... HUH??
Review: This was probably the worst of C. Pike's works, and one of the very few that aren't too well-written. I couldn't understand what the hell was going on with the future and all, but it was one slip-up that will never happen again. Mr. Pike generally deals with realistic murders and all, but this was just silly.

Rating:
Summary: ROBOTS, ROBOTS, ROBOTS!
Review: Well...I like this book in other words I don't really. I wounder how can Pike stand writing books that are standing beyond your believes. I just can't even think of robots taking over the world. It's not crazy but you do not want that to happen. I wounder if Pike's even afraid when he's typing other scarey parts in other books. But I reconmend this book.
