Rating: Summary: Christopher Pike's best novel Review: The Graduation is definitely the best Pike novel there is. The romance budding between Michael and Jessica is fun to read and the suspense is a real page turner. It would be great if Pike wrote another series featuring the same great characters. Then again, maybe not.
Rating: Summary: A Perfect Ending Review: The perfect ending to the perfect trilogy. Had me on the edge of my seat throughout all three books. If you haven't read any of these books, then you need to buy them now. It's an experience you won't soon forget!

Rating: Summary: The Best Review: This book end like no other book did. I could not believe how it ended. You have to read the series Final Friends.
Rating: Summary: LOVED IT!!! Review: This book is the best out of the Final Friends series because all your questions are answered. I LOVE how Pike made the relationship between some people final. This book has everything that anyone would want: romance, mystery, and suspense. This book is DEFINITELY NOT childish. One of my fav. books of Pikes.
Rating: Summary: The Graduation, Review Review: This book takes place mostly a town and on a boat in the middle of the ocean. The Graduation is about a group of seniors in highschool.(...)I enjoyed the book because the age frame in which the story takes place matches up with myself very well since I am also a senior in highschool. The author has a great sense of humor with his jokes he wrote throughout the book and the story line is very detailed but not boring at all. All of the characters in the story has very interesting personalities which makes the book much more interesting as how the author can get such contrasting attitudes to get along. I learned through the book that good friends will be there for you and help you get past obstacles in life. I also learned that Christopher Pike writes good books and that maybe sometime I should read another one. This book was one of the better books that I have read recently though highschool. It's a very interesting book as most highschoolers will feel that they can easily relate to the story. I'd recommend to other highschoolers that they should read this set of books and some of the authors books.
Rating: Summary: This was a pretty good book Review: This book was one of the most intriguing books I have read yet. It has real cool characters that we can comprehend with. The characters remind me of people I know from my school. There are characters, like Maria, Jessica, and Mike, that you would love, others who would just plain hate, like Bubba and Kats, and some others that you would really ponder about what is wrong with their mentality, for example, Clark and Polly. I think this book had everything in it. It had killer suspense, mind boggling mysteries, a beautiful romance, and some hilarious comments and funny sarcasm scattered through out the book. It had a good story line. All the weird stuff that ever happened all made sense toward the end of the book. Also this story has such a twist that you would be shocked because it would totally go against about what you thought was going to happen. This diffidently happened to me. Unfortunately, there are also some things that I really didn't like. Before you read this book you would have to read book #1 "The Dance" and book #2 " The Party" if you like to have more details about what happen in the past. I got lost at first because I did not know what happened in the past, even though it had summary's about what happened in the last two books. In the beginning of the book was not that interesting for me. There was no suspense or nothing, but it did tell some clues about the future. It was just talked about what everyone is going to do. There was also some sections and paragraphs that were just boring to me. That most likely had nothing to do with the murder of Alice. For example, the speeches the Valedictorian was giving during the graduation ceremony. To sum it up, despite the negative things in the book, it was a pretty good book. Like I said before, it had mystery, suspense, etc. and a real good plot with a fantastic twist to the story at the end. I really recommend this book to anyone, especially to people at high school levels who can relate to the characters in here. On a scale of 1 through 10, I give it an eight.
Rating: Summary: Simply amazing. Its so unbelievely true to real life! Review: This is a best book ever to be written! I recommend anyone to buy the trilogy. Its about a group of friends (or will be friends) on an adventure (even though they don't go anywhere) which is about being a teen to an adult. Fantastic ending, sad yet happy. Pike is also a writer of humour - their are many moments you could laugh your head off. There are also moments of intense pain, anguish and tension. For all those people who would like an adventure of murder, fantasy and of growing into adulthood - this is the best bet. The only other book which could compare is Stephen King's 'IT'.
Rating: Summary: One of the best books he has written!!!!!!!!!!!!! Review: This is one of my favorite books by this author. I love the way he mixes suspence and horror. I couldn't put this book down! I have read over half his books and these three books that tell the story are the best!!!!!
Rating: Summary: Great! Review: This is one of the few books that I have really enjoyed over the years: These three books in the series have left me searching for anything written by Christopher Pike. I enjoyed the mystery of the deaths, the suspision of the characters, and the romance between Michael and Jessica. I seriously think they should do a made-for-tv movie for the "Final Friends" stories.
