Summary: This is a wonderful book!!!!!
Review: Go out and buy this book. It is so strange and wonderful. It is about the basic struggle between good and evil, but hits you hard and shows you about life. I couldn't put it down, and I've read it 5 times now. It's a great book and you should definitely read it!!

Summary: I'm glad my friend handed me this book!
Review: I first encountered this book when my best friend handed it to me and asked me to read it for him so he could get his book report done in time. I figured I could do him a favor and read it in a couple days. I'd never read any Christopher Pike before, but this totally blew me away! This book rules. It's like Animorphs crossed with a whole bunch of other things. Lots of sex, nudity, cussing, lots of science fiction, and a bit of violence and action. Virtually everything I look for in a book. Buy this book and read it! You won't regret it!

Summary: Actually, it's not bad
Review: I know there are a lot of people who didn't care for this book, but I remember really liking it when I first read it. Yes, it's true; the character development is pretty weak. And there are a few holes in the plot... but the story itself and the whole message is very intriguing to me.
The collective group and the feel you get from their closeness makes up for the lack of character given to them as individuals. Plus, there are a few plot twists and a surprise ending that make the story very interesting.
Give it a chance!

Summary: Not so great
Review: I love Christopher Pike but I did not like this book. The storyline is ok but I didn't like the ending so much. I have read a few of his books before and they were all excellent. The endings were totally unpredictable, this book was different. A few chapters into the story, i had a feeling that Gale wasn't the perfect girl she was poprtrayed to be, and around the middle of the book, I knew she was the evil one. The beginning of the book was good though. If you want to read a GOOD book that is sort of like this one, I would recommend "the starlight crystal" by Christopher Pike

Summary: OK...ish
Review: I overall liked this book, what i found was that at first.. the storyline went really slow, then nothing happened, then boom! it's the climax.. then.. what just happened? u think to urself, the back cover confused me, and some of the writing was just too odd, like how they talk to him... some of it's ok, some of it was stupid, like too much death too fast!

Summary: I was wrong
Review: I thought this book looked really really good. I did not like it at all. Yeah, the characters were realistic, but it just wasn't what I hoped it would be.

Summary: incomplete
Review: I'm a major Pike fan, i own 29 of his books and read 22 of his books. The other books i've read by him i got a sense of them being complete, full and besides wondering how he wrote such novels and a wish for more sequels, i never had any questions. This book to me felt incomplete. There's a lot of foreshadow he could've used, especially with the details on the waves and how Danny waterskied and more about his love for Gale. All I wondered was besides mentor's disapproval how else was the scene significant to the plot of the story? I don't mean to spoil the book for those who didn't read it. The book started out beautifully, but from middle to end it felt like a waste and that he was in a hurry. It had a lot of promise, and I personally wish he would rewrite it. I would try to rewrite it, but then that'll be considered illegal.

Summary: Bliss or Boredom; What's your cup of tea?
Review: The book itself was not very grand or exceptionaly written. It spanned a short period of time, and didn't get you very involved with the characters. It almost seemed like a recap of some greater story - dry. To the credit of the book, it had a very original premise, and an imaginitive story. If you are a Christopher Pike fan, or someone who enjoys this type of Sci-Fi fantasy, then you would probably get a pleasureable experience out of this book, perhaps even be touched, for it does have that possibility. In this case the plot would more then make up for the poor character sketches. On the other hand, someone not already accustomed to this style/type of story might find alot of fault, and a mediocre novel.
