I *love* CP. I read almost all his books in late middle school. My favorite was the one about the girl who gets an abortion and comes home to find that almost everybody in her town has disappeared. Cooooooool. I reread one of his books recently (the one about the VCR that mysteriously tapes future events), and really did like it. Yeah, I think he's fabulous.

Christopher Pike was the staple reading material of my childhood. The Season of Passage remains one of my favourite novels.

When I was younger, I read all of his youth-oriented books with the exception of the Last Vampire series. I always found his Spooksville stories far more imaginative and gripping than R.L. Stine's work.

Yeah, I used to love his books. It's been so long since I've read any though. I read that one about the abortion too, I think that ranks pretty highly on the best-worst ones of his that I've read. But I like the 'Last Vampire' series too. I think. Well, if it's the one I'm thinking of involving the female vampire then yes...well obviously it involves a vampire. Duh. Can anybody tell me the general plotline to see if it is the one I'm thinking off. It'll annoy me relentlessley otherwise. God it has been a long time since I've read his stuff.

i never knew so many people liked his work, or at any rate know who he is.
ok, my favorite books are the last vampire series and the wicked heart.
i first found out who he was through the spooksville books. i think it was the secret path that i bought and bang! i'm hooked.
its a shame that you havn't read the last vampire, Cryptic, because i think they are really good. and i doubt that most people would dislike them.

narcissa-mae:
-in the first book her creator tries to kill her, but in the end lets her go.
-in the second book, some wacked out guy called eddie fender finds her creators body and injects his blood, turning him into a vampire. Eddie tries to get Sita's (the main character) blood, but in the end she destroys him and her creator.
-in the third book the government are trying to kidnap her but she evades them then blows up their secert government headquaters. then discovers she is pregnant because some guy she slept with was neither human nor vampire, he was somewhere in the middle.
-the fourth book she has her child and it becomes a crazy toss of the genetic dice. sita names her daughter Kalika, meaning she who destroys.
-the fifth book sees Kalika grown up and trying to get ahold of a child, who is ment to be the messiah. so Sita tries to stop her with the help of another secret society. but it turns out that Kalika was trying to protect the child from the society becuae they want to use its blood for evil.
-the sixth book, Sita gets sent back in time to destroy an evil she helped create, but then gets bored of living and kills her creator before he craetes her, so she leads the life she was ment to live after all. The End.

I've read quite a few Christopher Pike books except the few that I couldn't find when I grew up in a small town. I pulled out my old books a couple months ago and started rereading them.

Narcissa-Mae, The Last Vampire series starts off with Sita aka Alisa Perne confronting her maker Yaksha and then continues with her killing off the other vamps that were created with his stolen blood and eventually takes her back to the very begining when she was first made into a vamp.

My sister LOVES his books.

I myself have never read one, but she seems to enjoy them. Generally she has good taste, so they must be alright.

My favourite books used to be Christopher Pike's The Last Vampire series, years ago. While I've found much better since ( or my tastes have changed ), I remember a lot of parts of this series, which for me, shows that it was well written and rememberable. We have a large selection of his books at home...
