Review: Although Christopher Pike is a pro at creating realistic characters, I think he got a little too attached to the ones in this trilogy, seeing as how he stretched Alice McCoy's "suicide" from two months ago in "The Party" into two additional books (this one and "The Graduation"), instead of just creating it as one book. Albeit the characters are interesting (i.e., my favorite: Bubba, the audacious, raunchy sex fiend, who is just as hilarious as ever, especially when he spikes a Pepsi with the cocaine a narc had used to try and set up Nick, as well as when he makes a sex contract with Sara), not all of them seemed necessary. On more than one occasion, I confused a few of the characters with each other, i.e., Sara and Polly, and Bill and Russ. Probably just shows how much my mind wanders while I'm reading, though.Anyway, with the mass introduction of characters in the previous book, I should have realized "The Party" was setting the pace for the following two books, displaying everyday high school life foremost and hinting at a bit of suspense and mystery that never shows itself until the final dozen or so pages, which is what happens in this book with the crowning of the homecoming queen, who is the next intended victim. Although "The Dance" is a pretty good book (great writing, especially the dialogue), I thought this story line would have been better as a single book, not three. Thus, I would only recommend this trilogy to diehard Christopher Pike fans with a long attention span. Other readers may not have the patience for this long-drawn-out teen murder mystery.

Summary: Billiant, man
Review: Catch your breath and don't even dare to breath! I think this book is fabulous. It is the continuation of the bood, Final Friends #1-The Party and will lead you to book 3-The Graduation. I recommend to the ones who have read book 1 or those who are Christoper Pike's fans. You'll know what "a good writer" is all about after reading this book!

Summary: It was a great book!
Review: I absolutely loved this book! I have read the whole series and I think these books are still my favorite even after all of his other books I have read. Christopher Pike is definately a great author! He keeps his readers in suspense which is exactly what he does in this book. He leaves just enough mystery at the end to make you rush to a bookstore right away to get the last enstallment! I loved the book!

Review: I loved this book and you should too. After reading The Party you'll want to jump up and buy this one. Christopher Pike puts so many twists and turns you'll be on the edge of your seat until the end. You'll never expect the ending. Don't miss any of the Final Friends series.

Review: I read the book Christopher Pike's The Dance. It is the second book of a series of three. To understand this book you must read the first book of the set. This book starts off with the mystery of the first book. In the first book a girl named Alice McCoy is killed. The second book continues on about the lives of all the highschoolers and the conflicts that come between them and becoming older. In the second book too Alice McCoy's friend Michael believe's that his friend Alice McCoy was murdered. The cops claimed that it was suicide because there was no evidence otherwise to prove that she had been murdered. The cops claimed Alice McCoy had to have killed herself, but Michael believes otherwise. Throughout the book you learn about Michael's chase after the killer and about his high school friends. I would give this book a 7, if you like reading about mysteries and highschoolers lives. I would recommend this book to mor mature kids. because it has some more mature content in it. I thought this book was better than the first and I can't wait to read the third one.

Review: I read this entire trilogy word for word. I luved it! it was great. With each turn of the page something new happened that kept me on edge and not wanting to put the book down. I love Christopher Pike. He and Lois Duncan are my two favorite teenage novelists. There style is so similar and yet so different. This truly was one of Pike's greatest masterpieces. I'm looking forward to reading his Remember Me trilogy.

Summary: The BEST Books ever!!
Review: I'm an avid reader and have read many books, but no books have rocked my world as the Final Friends series by Christopher Pike has. The cover of the books makes them look old fashioned and cheesy, but once I started reading there was no putting the book down. They were so good that I got my mother to read them too and she enjoyed the books as much as I did. What makes the Final Friends Series so good are its fascinating characters(you'll never guess who forms friendships)and the tying relationship between them all, as well as the entire MYSTERY. When reading the first book I NEVER expected what was going to happen in the third book, but unless you read all three you won't understand the entire picture(who did it and why). So if you want to be swept into a world of frienship, murder, jealousy, and a WHOLE LOT of Mystery, then Christopher Pike's (Final Friends)The Party, The Dance, and The Graduation, is definitely for you!!
