Advantages: Intelligent, Interesting, Never predictable

Disadvantages: He needs to write more!

I am 20 years old and as most Christopher Pike fans will tell you, I started reading his books when I was about 14. To be honest it was through reading his books that first encouraged me to explore horror and fantasy titles.

The fact that his books are an intelligent read, ie although it is aimed at teenagers, adults can enjoy them to, means that time and time again you can rely on the fact that once you have picked up one of his books, you will never be disappointed. His books appeal equally to both boys and girls, and although the stories are definately out of this world, you can't help but be drawn into the various twists and turns as each of his stories develop.

My favorite book had to be The Road to Nowhere. After finishing this book, I proceeded to tell anyone and everyone who would listen how fantastic the book was. The fact that his books are not predictable, and that you cannot get away with just reading the end of the book first, really heightens their appeal. I can honestly that this book in particular is one that I have since read at least two or three times a year.

I feel that Pike's books are very rarely given the credit that they deserve and how he is a very awe-inspiring but oftern underated author. If there are any teenagers or even adults reading this op and are stuck for new authors/genres to explore then I really do recommend that you give Christopher Pike a look in, as I know you will be pleasantly surprised!

Good op. I've never read any of Pike's books, although one of my friends is always raving about him!
