Amazing. Honestly I can't really get very detailed with this review as far as details because I read it awhile ago, but I will say this. It definately was way more entertaining then I thought it would be.
A very spiritual book I want to say. About the afterlife and what happens after death. Your soul. What it means to die and values on the belief that when you "die" your never really gone that your soul is immortal. It kind of reminded me of The Immortal series ALOT, but conde More...

(REMEMBER ME #1)
Another amazing book about the ETHEREAL. :-)
Talk about the unworldly, the spiritual and the heavenly; add to these the thrill, the mystery and the supernatural, a touch of humor, a little bit of romance, and a little more of life... or DEATH. This book has it all in balanced proportions - Very purely crafted and written to hook the reader's attention until the very end.

I don't really like reviewing a book that contains 3 books in the one.
I will try to rate the books seperately. I really enjoyed Remember Me. I would give that one 4 stars. Reading it, I was sure that I had found an author that I would enjoy reading more books written by him. I was wrong. I read The Return and was so disappointed. It was a forced read. The book jumped around so much and the story didn't interest me. I would give that one a 1 star. I started reading The Last More...

Remember Me:
I just finished Remember Me and I was surprised. It wasn't what I expected at all. I was expecting it to be a little more creepy, and I probably was judging it solely on the cover. The cover looks creepy. Oh well, don't judge a book, right? Anyway, it ended up being a feel good book, in my opinion. I loved the story line between Peter and Shari. In fact I was disappointed when I finished the book and read the first paragraph of the next book and realized that Peter an More...

I was really disappointed with this book as a whole. Reading the discription, I had high hopes; the plot sounded really interresting. I thought it started off ok, when the accident first happened and the evidence and crime scene were being reviewed, but it just went downhill for me as it went on. I thought there was way too much written about how Shari couldn't fly or walk through walls, etc. That wasn't really all that important of a topic to dwell on as much as I felt the author did. I felt

I used to read Christopher Pike when I was in junior high and high school. I learned a lot from his books: like how to pick out the villain in a suspense.
I picked this one up because I was curious as to if his writing was how I remembered it.
Rating this book is gonna be tricky as it's 3 stories in one. So I averaged it out.
Remember Me
4 stars

As three books in one (including REMEMBER ME, THE RETURN, and THE LAST STORY) I almost feel as if this one deserves three different reviews.
I very much enjoyed REMEMBER ME. I have never read anything quite like it it before. Although it was written for teenagers and young adults, I feel that is expresses some very adult concepts and life views. It definitely made me think.

I am giving this massive piece of literature 3 stars. The first book was pretty good, but under no means I am reading the second or third. I like how the first ended, and I would hate that to be spoiled because the author wanted to continue on something that should not have been continued. Christopher Pike is an amazing author and I will continue reading his Thirst books.

I LOVED Remember Me!!! I already wrote a review for it and I won't do it again here.
About the two other books...
I would rate the first book a 10 out of 5 and the other two books like a 2 maybe. I did not like what he did with the two books! Remember me was an amazing book that could have been exploited otherwise in my opinion! I didn't like the character of Jean Rodriguez and I also did not like the way Shari Cooper evolved.

Remember me is a sad book. But also a happy one. A young girl is murdered, and after death she wonders the world trying to find out who killed her, and why. Well, jealousy, and betrayal rounds the edges of this book. As I said before Christopher Pike knows how to write a good book. I love Remember me.

I remeber when I bought this book at Books-A-Million. I thought that the plot sounded interesting, and it was a thick book, so I thought "Yes! A nice thick read!" Cause I like big books, for some reason. So I paid like $16.99 and I walked home ready to pop open the book and dive right into it. So I got home and I went into my room, took off my shoes, went in the living room and opened the first page, and I read.

this book is amazing. it was written so long ago but its still a great read. Tho the story changes faster then you can say pudding. the back summary is only what only describing a couple of chapters. Then the story becomes much more tense you have to pay attention or you will not understand the brilliance of the book. I really did enjoy this book but i only recommend it if you truly pay attention to the book. Its not a easy read you have to be very focused. You will not be sorry you picked this

This book was absolutely great! It was really long and took me forever to read it but I really enjoyed it. It was full of great detail especially when talking about the rishi and his "aura" and being in a place but it really wasn't your place. It was awesome. I like Shari as the main character and I enjoyed watching her change as she became someone else as the story progressed. The drama in the book was very unexpected mostly and I was sad to see some characters go. The ending wa

I'm only giving this two stars because the first book was decent, and my inner teenager still holds a torch for Christopher Pike's books. That being said, the second two books were not only bad, parts of them bordered on offensive. If you commit suicide, you can only come back to earth as a cripple? Seriously? And once you come back, you don't work, and have to rely on someone else for support... What exactly is the message here supposed to be? I work with people with spinal cord injuries everyd

Everything I read about this book on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com made it seem like a ghost story that might be light reading and maybe amusing. The first section is a ghost story, and it is fun. But the second two sections are a mishmash of Hindu, Christian, and Buddhist dogma along with a heaping dose of the beliefs of the 80's and 90's New Age spiritual movement. Around all this dogma is a feeble plot so the books can be described as fiction rather than religion. I really feel duped. T

We recently got this all-in-one trilogy at work and I picked it up because I remembered reading the first book as a "tween" and really liking it.
Well, I did like the first 1/3 on the re-read, which is the reason for the three stars. The first book is a murder mystery where the victim tracks down and busts her own killer with the help of a fellow spirit friend and a washed-up police detective. It was fast-pased, creepy, and kept me reading. It was just as good as I remember More...

I read these in my tween-to-teen years, I picked it up again just to see if they held up and I have to say I was impressed. No vampires, no werewolves, no clumsy pale lip-biting thinly veiled versions of biblical implications of female sexuality, just a strong female protagonist. The trilogy boasts strong metaphysical and spiritual themes and makes no apologies for main characters strength, weaknesses, sexuality, and sense of self. This cements Pike as one of my favorite authors.

The first book had some highs and lows. I liked the characters as a whole but the love interest is just weird to me, I feel like the author rushed into it a bit. I also didn't like what kind of abilities the author gave to the "ghosts." The Epilogue was disappointing to me too. The rest of the spiritual aspects and such were interesting though. The only thing that really kept me reading was the suspense and wanting to know who killed her. I'm not too excited about starting the second b

Being that this is three books in one I will comment on them as I finish them.
Remember Me: Five stars - I just couldn't put this book down. July 10, 11 - July 11, 11
The Return: Three stars - I didn't care for most of this book. I did like the story part about Jean. But I didn't see the point of having her read a book inside the story. I also didn't understand most of what was going on with Shari and Peter as ghosts. July 11, 11 - July 13, 11
The Last Book: Four stars More...

This is actually three stories in one, I gave it an overall cumulative review although the first story is TERRIBlE and almost made me put it away. I mean really, truly terrible. It comes off shallow, young, and superficial.... But later you understand why. It's a huge read and tons of filler but it's really interesting in a round-a-bout way. I felt like the third book was by far the best.

I originally bought this book because it sounded really good from the cover and it was really thick so i had plenty to read on the long plane ride. I again learned not to judge a book by its cover!
The first book( the book is 3 in 1), was pretty good, but the secound was dissappointing. For a young adult book it was kind of boring and it felt like the author was trying too hard. There were concepts that he was trying to make the reader grasp that were very contriversial and in some par More...

I would rate this trilogy 4 out of 5 stars.. but... the last book, "The Last Story" was a disappointment. The story line took an odd turn and never really redeemed it's self. There were a lot of loose ends that never got tied. The story turned into a story inside a story. I've read a lot of reviews that people were disappointed in the last book, and I can relate. While the book wasn't terrible, it was not the best read either. However, I really enjoyed the first book "Remember Me.

This book freaked the ghosts out of me. LITERALLY! I couldn't even express more words in this book. Totally recommend it. The only problem I've seen on this book is "The Last Story" since some reference to "The Starlight Crystal" bored me. But loved the ending! I won't tell more and I'd let you be the judge of the book!
