I loved this book as a tween/teen (I think I was about 11 or 12 when I read it. I remember being shocked because there was mild swearing in it. Ah, youthful innocence... *eye roll*). On the re-read, I found it was simply awful...and AWESOME! The stock characters, the predictable plot twists, the quasi-New Agey elements (although this one wasn't as bad about that as his later books). It was every bit the quintessential Christopher Pike I remember. Get ready for spoilers:Here we have Shari, ourExcerpt from my review - originally published at Offbeat YA. Pros: Likeable lead. Interesting set of characters. Emotions ring true. Story sucks you in.Cons: Not the glamorous, imaginative afterlife you find in nowadays novels, since lead still walks the Earth. Very little action (if you prefer a faster pace).WARNING! Moderate sex references (if they upset you at all).Will appeal to: Everyone who doesn't care for very fast-paced books or romance-centered ones. First off, RM was published long
I like the idea of this story. A girl who is murdered and becomes a ghost and tries to find her murderer. I think I would've liked it a lot better if I got to know more about the characters and if the person who murdered the girl (Shari Cooper) had a better motive... It wasn't terrible, I did enjoy reading Shari as a ghost, but I don't think I will continue with the series.
It was meh. Okay. Honestly, it was my least favorite Christopher Pike book I have read. I usually enjoy his books but this one did nothing for me. The plot dragged, I felt there was way too much filler materiel and conversations about a whole lot of nothing. None of the characters were likable nor was I able to relate in any way. Frankly Shari annoyed me and that is hard to not like the protagonist. Even if it is a "I like to hate" type of feeling. I need to feel SOMETHING. But this was dull.

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. LOVED. I particularly remembered this one, a story about a teen who was killed and spends the whole book as a ghost, trying to figure out who killed her. I decided to reread it all these years later, and it didnt
It's nice to know what Regina George would have done if that bus had killed her.
