I think I read everything that Christopher Pike wrote. I loved this shit!

Chain Letter was my first. I was devoted. I was not an R.L. Stein girl.

His real name is Kevin McFadden!

R.L. Stein = no

Chain Letter was so good, dude. I think the first one I read was Scavenger Hunt, and if I remember correctly, that one was also pretty brutal (for an 11-year-old). I also loved Remember Me, about the ghost trying to solve her own murder. The MAKEOUT PARTS were my favorite! So racy for YA lit.

Yeah, his books were so sexy. I remember there was one where a group of teens were learning words of the SATs and they were making up sentences to remember the words. One word was wanton and they tried to remember it by saying that two of the teens made wanton love in wonton soup. The two teens they jokingly chose for the sentence secretly and desperately wanted to bone each other and the sentence made them uncomfortably horny. I remember it made me so hot! He knew how to turn young girls on. Creepy talent!

I went the R.L. Stein route, but was equally devoted.

I read 'em both but Christopher Pike really seemed to know his way around the mind of a pre-teen/teen girl, more so than R.L Stine who seemed to write much more gender neutral stuff.

re: pike's were dirtier and better. haha!

my mind was blown when i learned as an adult that it wasn't his real name (as mentioned above) and some were even farmed out and written by other people with him just providing the outlines, supposedly. weird!

[capricornia]

F* R.L. Stine. I read both, all of 'em.
Christopher Pike is da bomb, far superior.

[nursedoa]

His stuff was just so excellent.

oh man, i loved him! the first one i read was about a girl dying and her ghost hung around to find her killer - "remember me" i think - they made me think high school would be so evil..

[nursedoa]

Me too! I thought it would be so full of danger!

I didn't even know Captain Pike could write novels after losing command of the Starship Enterprise. Did have to do that red light/blue light thing to dictate it?

[nursedoa]

Yes, he did.
