This Pike book is bitter-sweet, a great tale that will catch you up in it even if at the end you are a little saddened by its conclusion. A very different book for him, not so much horror unless you look at the horror of cancer and especially the horror of young people who have terminal cancer. A great read well worth your time.

I am in my 30's now and to this day this is one of my favorite books. It's an unforgettable read. I couldn't put it down. Over the years I have read it multiple times.

Christopher Pike is like the little more risque version of R.L. Stine. Typically, his books have some graphic language and/or sexual references, but this book was quite different than his usual sort. It actually really endeared him to me as an author, because it was a pleasant surprise. He takes on a deeper role in this one, making this book feel completely different from his other books. A lot of his books have very different plots, though some of them tend to be a little cliche in the teen horror genre. This one was a direct departure in a new way, and that made it a pretty good read.
