Do you remember what the supernatural used to be like before the world of Vampires and Werewolves and even Zombies took over our world of modern day literature ?
Ghosts were the scary thing, things going bump in the night, spirits being summoned out of Ouija Boards and seances occuring. In Christopher Pike's Remember Me, it brought back some good memories of a time when scary stories just had ghosts and a simple storyline-nothing more as according to the cover, at the time released this bo More...

As a reader of YA fiction, thrillers and horror, I don't know that this should have been classified as a thriller. Paranormal for the ghosts and stuff, yeah. Mystery for the fact Shari Cooper's goal once she's dead is to solve her own murder, definitely. Spiritual, for the interaction between Shari and Peter - without question. But honestly, this just does not have thriller qualities.
But then again, I'm not part of the target audience.

ummm okay. I found this book at walmart and reading the back cover, it sounded like a good read. It is a reprint of Pikes Remember me, but it is an omnibus, containing the entire trilogy in one. But sadly the omnibus isnt listed on goodreads so ill review them all here.
The first book, Remember me, was real good. It's about a girl, Shari who falls off a balcony and dies, and comes back as a ghost I guess you would call it. She doesnt know she is dead. I dont wanna give too much of th More...

I admit I wad hesitant about reading this trilogy after seeing some of the very negative reviews. Christopher Pike was my favorite author during my early teens though so I decided to give it a chance. I am very happy I did.

Continuing my foray into Christopher Pike's young adult novels so beloved by my wife, I picked up Remember Me because the back cover copy sounded intriguing. The premise of the story is that it is told from the perspective of Shari Cooper, an eighteen year-old who is dead and wanders the world as a ghost, following the friends she left behind, her family and the world-weary detective assigned to her case who doesn't seem to believe she actually committed suicide.

When I was teen, Christopher Pike was the first author I searched for in the book stores. If he had a new book out, I would do anything to make sure I had it. In fact, years later, I still have those books. Remember Me, though, stands out among his books. Just the idea of a girl telling her story as a ghost who was murdered. I loved it. When I think about Pike's books, this is the first one that comes to mind. I know they recently re-released this book, and I think even though it's an old book,

Young adult horror. Shari Cooper dies one night while at a party. She doesn't realize she's dead until the next day when her family acts like she isn't even there. Her death is ruled as suicide, but she knows she was murdered, and she sets out with the help of another ghost, Peter, to solve her murder.
Considering other young adult horror writers who were writing around the same time, this was a good novel despite some corny elements. Yes, it was very cliched. Yes, it was cheesy at po More...

I read a lot of good reviews on this one, and I thought it was truly genius. The way things worked out, it was completely unexpected and very well written.
One thing ticked me off at first though, and that was the main character. To me, she seemed a bit selfish and snobby. A privileged girl with anything she could want.
But then she went all nice and gooey. Great.
No, she did change a lot throughout the book, but one thing did not change. Her obsession with her green eyes More...

Wow. Amazing book. This book shows the power of love and dreams. Sounds tacky, I know but it's true. Shari Cooper died and refused to be forgotten. She worked very hard towards her goal, which was to find her killer. Even when her other deceased friend told her that it was futile and senseless to search for her killer, she refused to listen.She worked very hard toward her goal and eventually found out who her killer was.It shows the power of love because Shari Cooper's love for her brother neve

Remember Me by Christopher Pike is still my favorite book by him. I read the book when it was originally released and recently found a new copy that contains this book and the two stories that followed. Even on re-reading the book, I found that I still enjoyed the story as much as I did the first time. The book tells the story of Shari Cooper who went to a party at a friend's house and woke up the next moring dead. The police and her friends and family believe that she killed herself but Sha

This is the story of a girl who is a ghost but doesn't know it. When she figures out that her family thinks she committed suicide, she must solve her own murder. Kinda fun. I did a monologue in drama from it.

Did you ever read Christopher Pike as a kid? When I was in 6th grade, my teacher, Ms Gamage set up a book swap in class for our group called the Dweebs (a name i LOATHED) & i got to read all the christopher pike and similar horror/mystery book sale books my parents couldnt afford.

When I was a teen, many moons ago, I was a Christopher Pike addict. This was one of the best ones. I quit reading Pike’s books once they hit a point where it was sequel after sequel. (Remember Me was fine being a lone book and not the first installment of a trilogy.) This is one of the few “teen” books that I kept once I outgrew that phase. Twenty years later and I still have it packed away in a box of books that I don’t want to part with because I’ve enjoyed rereading them but don’t have r

I can't believe I'm giving this many stars to a Christopher Pike novel.
Let me make that clearer - I love Pike. He was my main groove back in middle school and high school, and even though his books can be a bit overly uncomplicated at times, he has an innate ability to present some rather complicated and fantastical concepts to teenagers in a way that never seemed preachy or condescending.

really this only deserves two stars, but nostalgia is a powerful thing and nothing brings middle school rushing back like a good christopher pike read! in my old age, i am a little shocked that these books, rife with underage drinking and sex not to mention murder, the supernatural and dubious plot lines, were/are so widely read by impressionable tweens. however, all of that is INFINITELY preferable to the twilight-type moralizing tweens are subjected to nowadays..

I remember the first time I read this book. I was in the fifth grade and all I know is that this book scared me so much that I would read it out in the hallway with the lights on. This was my very first scary book and I loved it. This book introduced me to the the likes of R.L. Stine and other Christopher Pike books, however none are as ever good as the first you read. There were some pretty strange stories out there by those two. I always loved reading but this book introduced me to a whol

This was very 80's... but hey, it was written in the 80's about the 80's! I have to say that I actually very much enjoyed this read - I don't normally read these types of books, but I read Christopher Pike from someone's suggestion - I loved that the plot rounded out and they explained everything at the end... I'm nosy! :o) I'm always wondering "What about this? What was that about?" and there is nothing in this book that you could possibly question that the author did not answer.

I read this book more than half of my life ago, but it still haunts me as one of the best books I've ever read. For a thirteen year old girl interested in "the other side", this book was the cat's pajamas. I don't remember much about it despite the main character Shari's plea not to forget (har har), but I do remember reading it multiple times and feeling a little like I could cry when the book was over. I will always have a soft spot for this book, and for Christopher Pike.

In this Young Adult mystery novel, Shari Cooper wakes up and no one in her family is acknowledging her. Then the phone call from the hospital comes and Shari soon learns she is dead. The police say it was a suicide, but Shari knows she was murdered. With the help of Peter, a boy she went to high school with who is also dead and understands how drifting between the two worlds work, Shari wants to find out who killed her and why they did it. This is the first book in a trilogy.

This was one of my favorite books as a kid and I just finished rereading it. Its one of those books which strikes me as having a profound theological message like The Color Purple, The Lovely Bones, The Shack.. all novels which revolve around our conceptualization of the divine and what the afterlife is really like. Anyway, I've been feeling a little morose, and I'm glad I picked it back up. Its a good, quick read if you need a little pick me up, and I reccommend it to anyone who's feeling blue.

When I saw this book, I wanted it so badly. Because, I loved Christopher Pike's Thirst books so much I thought this one was sure to be amazing. And, it was. Well, partly. It was very confusing though throughout the sections of the book. Like, the first section was amazing, I really liked it, but the second two were confusing and were a bit hard to understand at times as it jumped around a lot. Although, still a great book!

This is a wicked ghost story with a dark and demented twist. It was not like any ghost story I have ever read, and I gobbled it up quickly.
I really enjoyed the flow of the book and how you could visualize every scene. Really great writing! So glad to have been turned onto this writer.
This is definitely a book most of the bloggers I know would love! It has all the elements of a great story, the premise, the characters and solid writing!

Rewind to 1996.. This was "the book" that got me hooked on reading. After this book I had to find the other two parts of the trilogy, then I had to have any Christopher Pike book I could find. I guess this would have been my "Twilight" though my tween years. I read and re-read this book all through middle school. However reading wasn't as cool as it seems to be now..

I read this book in 3 days, which I think is A LOT faster than I read it back when pre-teen Susan first bought it. I found the characters less sympathetic, but it's also YA, and I am not anymore. At the time that I first read it, though, I was ENGROSSED. I was also going through my dark mystery phase with books. It was neat to read it again as an adult, however. There was a lot I remembered from the story, and I think I got more out of it.
