I read this book when I was 11. All I remember are batlike creatures and lots of teenage sex. I ask nothing more.

Just read this book a few nights ago, and oh-my-gosh, I was so surprised with this book! I couldn't sleep so I was desperately just trying to find a book to read, when I found this one. Now nobody in my family knows how this book ended up in our house, but I am so glad it did! I'm not really into paranormal stories because most of them are just really stupid these days, but this one sucked me right in. This was a pretty good book and I am now definitely a fan of Christopher Pike as I have seen h

I used to read Christopher Pike in 6th grade. I remember that my teacher had a box of them we could borrow..I read a lot back then (big surprise) but I don’t think I got through all of his (or R.L. Stine's) books, simply because I didn’t have access to them..they were mostly only in the book catalogs and I had no $ for that! So I read this one now as an adult. It stands up well to adult reading. I was surprised how sad it was..kind of depressing..and there were some things brought up that I woul

This is my ultimate favorite out of all of Pike's books, second only to his equally terrifying horror masterpiece, "Whisper of Death".
"Monster" is very well written. It includes all the good ingredients of a classic horror novel, freaky metamorphosis included. Sometimes, it borders on downright horrifying. The main characters, as they struggle with the basic aspects of humanity and their new hunger are realistica More...

I loved the story!Ive read two other Christopher Pike books but this is definitely my favorite.
Its basically a story about a girl (Mary) who goes to her boyfriends (Jim) party with a gun and she shoots 2 people then tries to kill Jim.
She fails to do so and the police catch her. When her best friend (Angela) visits her to ask why she did was she did she told her because they weren't human anymore.

This book has been one of my most favorite book of all time. The book starts off with a lot action and makes you question it a lot. During a party a girl came in with a gun and started to blow people up because she thought the people have already turned into monster. She is correct and after a while, she does discover that in the lake there is this kind of organism that would turn human into these type of monster.
What i like most about this book is the ending. It ended with the main charac More...

Wow...this was just... a very different read. It was fast paced and very enthralling at parts and just wrong at others. I'm still not sure how I feel about this one and it's been over 7 years since I've read it. Bottom line NOT FOR KIDS!!!!!

Is there really monsters? Yes, in this book. It brings wonders and mysteries alive and would pretty much bring you to a complete new competitive world.
Angela, this teenage girl fights through flesh eating monsters who crave for humans and turn them into monsters to increase population and take over the world. They pretend to be human and sexually take over human's body by spitting blood on them. Can it be true? Nobody believes Angela when she tries telling people but of cou More...

So many years later and I still remember this book - it starts out with a stunning scene and never lets up until the end. One of Pike's best thrillers.

Pike is so re-readable because there's always some matter of folklore or legend intertwined into his storylines. Though the plots may seem especially young adult, with titles like "Monster," there is much more involved in making his books creepy in a most realistic way. This book begins with a high school girl crashing a party with her shotgun and killing two people and trying to kill a third before her friend, Angela, stops her. I loved Angela's evolution through the book - the final

I read this book about fifteen years ago, and I still remember it was totally creepy, totally sad, and the best CP book I read back then. I still remember where the girl breaks her boyfriend's neck and eats him...oh my god. It still gives me chills. I can still remember the exact scene, the basement, how she scratched his scalp with her fingernail at first, just to have a little taste...*shudder*

Really fast paced. There is always something happening, you're never out of action. This is why I love Christopher Pike's novels.

Angela's best friend, Mary kills a few kids because she said they were no longer human. who would believe a thing like that. Not even Angela believed it at first. But Mary kept telling her all about what was going on. Angela started to notice what Mary was talking about. Was Mary really crazy? From want Angela saw and noticed, there are monsters.

This book is about a group of teens having a night party, everyone was enjoying themselves until a girl came in and shot 2 people. When she explained why she killed them, she said they were monsters and there were more out there. This alerted Angela and so she searched deeper in finding these monsters and killing them off.
