Rating: Summary: Dig A Bottomless Pit & Toss This One In Review: "Bury Me Deep" begins with Jean Fiscal on her way to Hawaii for spring vacation. She's going to meet her two friends (Mandy Bart and Michele Kala) in Maui, who have already started their vacation a couple days earlier.Jean is expecting to have a great time there, but she doesn't even leave the airplane before her vacation is changed for the worse. The young man (Mike Clyde) sitting next to her suddenly has a seizure and dies. Although she only got to know him briefly, Jean is very affected by his death. She tries to forget about the incident once she arrives on the island. Her two friends try to help by introducing her to two scuba diving instructors, Johnny and Dave. The five of them make plans to go scuba diving, which is a great distraction for Jean. She's quick to pick up on the sport, and it becomes a necessary skill for her throughout the book. She also falls for Johnny, even though she had promised Mandy she wouldn't interfere since Mandy had set her eyes on him first. Even though she is able to suppress the horror on the plane for awhile, Jean begins having nightmares, and one in particular remains predominant. She's swimming in the ocean with Mike. He leads her to a cave, exactly like the one he had described to her on the plane, and shows her a human skull with a bullet hole in it. Jean knows Mike is trying to tell her something, but she doesn't know what. Then, on another scuba diving trip with her friends, Jean insists they swim out to a vacant cove. For reasons unknown, she's drawn to this spot. It becomes even more eerie when Jean finds a cave and skull just like the one Mike had shown her in her dream. This supernatural mystery links two separate deaths: the death of Mike and a fellow scuba diver of Dave and Johnny's, Ringo. At first, neither seem related at all. After all, Mike had died on the plane and Dave and Johnny's friend had died a year ago. However, Jean reveals that Mike had, in fact, died a month ago--not days ago--at the exact spot where she found the cave and skull. His ghost is what keeps hanging around, haunting her dreams and almost driving her crazy. But it's the only way for him to show her the clues that will uncover and solve his death, as well as Ringo's. I had a hard time getting into this book. Mike's death at the beginning seemed pointless, and I wasn't really sure how the book was going to develop. Then, halfway through it, the book began to pick up the pace and I was able to put the pieces of the plot together. I wasn't too surprised, though, when I found out who the bad guy was. In fact, you'll probably be able to guess him/her close to the end; it's really obvious. The book as a whole wasn't too terribly bad, but I certainly wouldn't recommend this one. Unless you love Christopher Pike books, I'd take the advice of the title and dig a bottomless pit and toss this one in.
Rating: Summary: One of his best I've read! Review: "Bury Me Deep" is an exciting book about a normal Californiagirl who takes a vacation with her friend to Hawaii. On the plane over she meets a handsome boy, but she doesn't know that he is actually dead! There is a lot more to the book than that, I can assure you! The part that most impressed me was the suspense! I loved it. It is also one of Pike's "psycho bad guy novels." The bad guy really is crazy, but I think it makes for a good character. The characters are all strong, but the book itself isn't very well written. That doesn't mean it isn't good, oh no! It has an ingenius plot, and is overall a thrilling page- turner.

Rating: Summary: Good, but not great. Review: Although this book is good, I felt that it spent too much of the book describing scuba-diving, and how it worked, etc., etc. The plot was simple, perhaps too simple, and the ending quite predictable. However, it was not in any way horrible, and I enjoyed reading it.
Rating: Summary: A secritive novel Review: Bury Me Deep is about three teenagers that went on a trip to Hawaii. On the way therea person named Max suddenly died in the airplane seat next to Jean. Jean tries to forget it but Max keeps turning up where he shouldn't be at the depths of a very deep ocean.
Rating: Summary: Bury Me Deep- First and FAVORITE! Review: Bury Me Deep is the first Christopher Pike book I've ever read. I got it free in a book fair and ever since I read this one, I don't read any other books except for Pike's...Ive read almost all of his books and this one is by far, my favorite! Its suspensful and unpredictable! You have no idea what is going to happen next...
Rating: Summary: Amazing Review: Have you ever been to Hawaii? Better yet have you ever been scuba diving in Hawaii? Well that's exactly what Jean Fiscal is doing. Plus she's meeting two friends there, Mandy Bart and Michele Kala. WHile on the plane ride a strange boy with two frist names comes and sits with her. A tragedy strikes and he dies right in front of her after speaking some very stange words. She arives at the hotel and her friends talk her into takeing a scuba lesson with two hotties, Johnny and Dave. Mandy is intrested in Johnny but so is jean and it seems he's intrested in her too. WHile she sleeps Jean has very disturbing dreams about murder. She leanrs that Johnny and Dave had recently lost a partner;Ringo. One night she has a dream of the mysterious boy from the plane, the boy with two names; MIke Clyde. She shes how he died and it's not good(but the desription of it is amazing!) Soon Jean is on the run becaue whoever killed Mike is gonna do the same to her if she's not careful, because she discovered a skull in an underground cave. Many mysetious twists and turns, the end is not really a shocker because he leaves good clues that point to the person but at the same time you really have to think about who it is. Will Jean ever make it back from this vacation in Hawaii?
Rating: Summary: amazing (and literally breath taking). Review: I could not put this book down I've honestly read this book about tentimes. The disrciption of the corral is astonishing, and this book isone of those ones when you can actually picture being there yourself...I'm looking forward to reading it again.
Rating: Summary: One of his best books ever! :) :) Review: I give this book 5 stars because it holds you in it's...I don't it just keeps you into it! You think you know who did it than something happes that makes you think it was someone eles. If you like Christopher Pike you would love this book.
