Dear Nostalgia,
Me and you are friends, right? That's why when I find Christopher Pike books in a local charity shop for 50p I do a little squeal of excitement. That's why I re-read all of his novels that I can get my hands on - because it reminds me of being a teenager, but also, if I'm honest, because these books are still awesome. There: I said it - Nostalgia, you make me read too many children's and 'young adult' books and I still love them all.
However - and, Nostalgia More...

Awesome. Body-switching! Amnesia! Drugs! Astral projection or whatever!
Jennifer wakes up next to a dead body, but she can't remember what happened, who she is, or anything at all. She slowly realizes that the dead girl was her best friend. All the evidence points to Jennifer as the killer, but she doesn't remember, so she reads her own diary to try and piece together her life.
I always loved that image, of having to figure out your personality by reading your own diary. Wo More...

What would you do if you woke up next to a corpse, the murder weapon in your hand? What if you couldn't remember how you got there, who she was--who you were? What if all the evidence pointed to you being the killer? These are some of the first emotions explored by Jennifer Hobbs as she wakes up, covered in blood, next to the body of Crystal Denger.
Jenny does a near expert job of removing the evidence of her involvement: the murder weapon, the bloody clothes. The only clue to her ide More...

Christopher Pike is a very good writer of teen Horror/Thriller/Mystery/Fantasy. Lost Mind stands out as a book that also tackles metaphysical questions. In an very original novel, Pike deeply explores the mysticism of the soul.
The story is about a teen girl named Jen. She wakes up in the woods next to the dead body of a girl who has been stabbed to death. Fearing she could be the killer's next target, Jen flees - but instead of finding answers, she is confronted with question after More...

This was a great suspenseful novel, and again it's one where Pike brings up questions of the paranormal or metaphysical world into which he often delves. This book kept me up all night - I still remember reading it - the suspense and what will happen kept me turning the pages, and I believe I read it over the course of one evening. It also has depth, and like many of his good novels, it leaves you pondering the nature of life - and what comes afterward.

Jenny wakes up in the woods with a dead body next to her. She can't remember anything, including her own name. She finds out the dead girl is her best friend Crystal and that Jenny might have slept with Crystal's boyfriend.
The plot can be confusing, but is based on an interesting idea. Pike's strengths lie in ideas, not the actual writing.

One of my favorite authors. Some stuff is brilliant, some is just bizarre.

just another Pike book that I enjoyed as an early teen. There are very few of his books that I didn't like.
