In my opinion, he is the Stephen King of young adult literature. Whatever he writes (wrote), turns to gold and I love them all. My favorite of his are:
The Starlight Crystal (which is also one of my fav. books from anyone)
Remember Me

I'm such a geek... I saw the title of this thread and thought of the Captain of the Starship Enterprise in the original pilot.
My parents told me I could be whatever I wanted. I chose asshole.

Posted: 10/7/06 at 1:21amI remembering reading some. Not really my style. I do remember this one about these kids in a hospice that told scary stories to each other, but I can't remember the name of it.

Posted: 10/7/06 at 1:42amI also thought of Star Trek.
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Posted: 10/7/06 at 4:34amI absolutely love his books. I think my favorites that he's written are the ones titled The Last Vampire. I think there's six in the series and being the proud nerd that I am, I've read all of them and they didn't fail to keep me entertained. I think I still own a few of his books actually; I'm still a big fan.

I didn't think STAR TREK. Must not make me a geek, I guess.

Posted: 10/7/06 at 12:03pmI loved his book as a kid too. I was a big fan of the Last Vampire books. I went from those to reading to the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice.

Christopher Pike is a pseudonym; the author took that name from the STAR TREK character.
I read Christopher Pike's books as a teenager. He is definitely Stephen King for younger readers. "Remember Me" was my first, and I loved it. But my favorites of his were the Final Friends trilogy. I loved the characters and the writing!

Monster was my first Christopher Pike book when I was a teenager and it got me hooked on him.

His adult novel The Cold One is very freaky. I highly reccomend it.
