1. I don't know why, but whenever I hear or think of the Michael W Smith song "I will be here for you" I think of this book. The song popped in my head just now, and then I thought of this story. And here I am trying to write a review. I won't say much about the plot, but I'll just say this: In my opinion, "See You Later" is Christopher Pike's best book (Remember Me is a close second). Thinking about the characters, story-line, and ending just makes me feel nostalgic.
   
   I can't believe it was 18 years ago, when I was a 6th grader, when I picked this book up. It really made me into a book worm, and for that I am grateful.



2. I was very lucky when i came across this book, about ten years after it was first printed, because it became one of my favorite books. I read a lot, and much of what i read is in the science fiction genre, so when i tell you that this book was exceptionally plotted, i hope you can understand how objectively accurate that is. I was blown away by how such a simple seeming book could contain so much. With commentaries on love and friendship, to the more serious issues of war and human responsibility, I couldn't believe how great Pike tied everything together, told by a witty and real narrator you can sympathize with and grow to feel you've known for years, and want to keep knowing. This is a fantastic book, and if you're into sci fi, or Vonnegut, or romance, or just interested in a well written story with great plot development, this is a book for you. I can never forget this book, and every time I think of it, feel excited and warm inside. For a serious reader, and an aspiring writer, this book is like home. Christopher Pike, i applaud you.



3. Mark has just graduated from high school and is in love with Becky, a girl who works at the record store. Unfortunately, Becky has a boyfriend. Then, two couples appear. They are Kara and Vincent and Mark thinks he knows them but he can't remember. Kara is obsessed in trying to break up Becky and her boyfriend. Suddenly, Becky is a free woman. Then, bad things start to happen. A mysterious man suddenly comes out and Vincent is kidnapped.
   
   This book was really great since it is like a love story. The truth about Kara was shocking and the bloody heart was a bit gross. The ending is sad because Becky died. She was trying to protect Ray from being hit. Also in the end, another person dies.



4. This is one of the most poetic science-fiction romances I've ever read. I loved the language, the seductive beauty of it! It's a gamut of emotions tinged with the truly surreal and bizarre and has stuck with me for years... especially the thing about the full moon.... But I won't spoil it for you: you'll have to read it through to see what I mean. The ending, for me, was a real surprise.



5. When he wrote this book, he wrote a masterpiece!!! This was a book that I read over and over. Its a story of a boy and his first love with a evil obstacle in the way. A book with characters you will love and never forget. When you read this book, you will not forget it. You will want to go back read it again , and with a title that makes you think of it each time you tell someone , " See You Later!".

5 comments about Silent Stalker: Silent Stalker.

1. This one started out so awesome with an alluring setting and mystery that Cusick always delivers...but the ending I have to say took away the mystery and just made it seem unrealistic. I'm a loyal fan so I've collected this one, but it wasn't the of the best Cusick has ever written.
   I get that the usage of triplets in a mystery kinda takes away from the mystery(character), but revealing at the end that the twins are in fact triplets and that Edwin (the third brother revealed at the end) is the bad guy is what in fact made me lose interest. The rest of the book is classic Cusick; riveting.



2. This book is about a teenage girl who is stranded at an old castle when her father has to leave her there. Strange and terrible things happen to her while she's there.
   
   It keeps you guessing till the end. It's full of twists and surprises with a surprise ending.
   
   I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read horror/suspense stories. I liked it because it has action, drama, romance, and suspense. I couldn't put it down. I first read it when I was 14, and I'm 22 now. I've actually read this book so many times that I've actually had to replace it.



3. Book Description from back of Book:
   "Before Jenny Logan even entered the forbidding castle-a replica of the Worthington's ancestral home in England-a terrified stranger warned her away. Was the warning real-or just another example of the family's macabre sense of humor? Jenny couldn't be sure. She only knew her summer vacation with her father suddenly became a nightmare when predatory Sir John Worthington invited them to stay-and his grandsons, the gorgeous Malcolm, his twin Derrick, and their mischievous cousin Wit spun a web of intrigue, romance, and deceit around her. She's forced to play by their rules now, and battle the castle's ancient curse, which decrees that she will go mad, or die...or simply disappear...."
   
   Before this one, I had read 6 other books by Richie Tankersley Cusick, and I was hungry for more so I decided to give this one a try. This book was pretty good because of great descriptions on the Medieval theme, and it kept you guessing, but the end totally ruined it. The ending was SO stupid and unrealistic! (Spoiler ahead:)
   In the last few pages of the book, the author added a new character who just happened to be the insane one, and guess what? He is the brother of the twins in this story, and he looks EXACTLY like them? Wait...are they triplets? wow, thats realistic, three guys that look exactly alike! If there were a completely different ending, I would have given it 4 or 5 stars. Only worth buying if you are a huge fan of Cusick's, like myself. Otherwise, check it out at the library.



4. This is a tale of mystery and suspense. The main character is well developed and the plot is well constructed, RTC is good at leaving the reader guessing while suplying a healthy load of information. I admire the author's ability to construct strong visual descriptions and with her depictions of the character's emotions she really brings any story she writes alive.
   This is a particular favorite of mine because of the obsure and fascinating subject matter. Silent Stalker is a well written story about a teen age girl coming to terms with her family and herself. Experience her terror as she goes on an adventure with her neglectful father and stays in an ancient castle with many secret passages that lead to all kinds of horrifyingly good and romantic trouble. I give this book an A++ and "pitty the fool" who thinks otherwise.



5. I was so angry when I finshed this book I almost cried. Richie's other books are SO much better than this! The whole idea of adding a new character that was- I'll just say 'significant'- to the plot in like the LAST SEVEN PAGES was INSANE! It's like she couldn't think of any way to end it, and I honestly can't blame her, because the seconf half of the book is entirely confusing and filled with un-needed words.
   Please, if you're like me, and are a big fan of Cusick's, stick to "Vampire," "The Mall," or esp. "The Lifegaurd."
   But I do not reccommend this one.

5 comments about Remember Me 2: The Return.

1. This is my first review, so please excuse me. I have to say approached this book with reserved reservations. Almost every review i read said that it was and ok book, but not the best. I must say i both agree and disagree with them. I think the book is good, really good. But I'm partial to the first book, the original. Remember Me 2 is by no means as good as the first, but I've read worse. Almost half the book is devoted to the story of Jean Rodrigues. Then Shari Cooper comes into play and so the story of her life continues. The rest of the book is devoted to the back and forth story of Shari/Jean and the afterlife of Shari. Overall, I think the book is worth reading. And as long as you are patient, it's very rewarding as well. I hope you read and enjoy it as much as I did.



2. I was really looking forward to this book because of how much I enjoyed the origonal... but quickly learned that this was an unworthy sequel.
   The back description said that the Shari Cooper would return, from death, into a body not her own. These beings are called Wanderers, but she is attacked by creatures that have a special hatred toward Wanderers.
   Shari Cooper did not return into another body until the last 20 pages of the book. In fact, she was barely in the book that was supposed to revolve around her.
   There were no creatures that she falls into conflict with. There was no conflict at all... or a plot for that matter. After reading this painfully boring novel, I thought to myself, "What was the point of this?"
   It was very uneventful... boring if you will, which is shocking for a Pike book because I had never read one I didnt like before "Rememebr Me 2".
   Pike's usually so brilliant but this sequel did not live up to its origonal. It was as if he had no real ideas to put Shari through a second time. I probably wont read the 3rd one, and cant see why anyone would want to after reading this horrible piece of fiction.



3. A good and supernatural book!It makes me wonder what dead is like...Nigel..



4. Like all Christopher Pike books, this is another amazing one added to it. The moment when Jimmy realized that his sister came back to life was amazing, and when Lenny realized who he was before he nearly killed Shari. This book didn't have so much a deep meaning or conclusion, but it's the perfect book LEADING to book three.



5. WARNING: This reveiw tells parts of the end, since it was written for school!
   
   Remember Me 2: The Return by Christopher Pike was an okay book. Wait, I take that back. It was not bad, or anything, but it was not okay. Why don't we settle on unpleasant?
   Jean Rodrigues had just gotten pregnant with her boyfriend's baby. She had just told him when she fell off a balcony and the baby died. She would've died too-except now Shari Cooper is assuming the position of Wanderer in her body.
   Shari's job now is to help the world somehow, in a human's body-particularly Jean's. In this case, it is her job to write books inspiring and helping others.
   And here is where the problem ensues. (In the book itself.) We have the basis, correct. But where is the actual plot? The rest of the book is almost an unorganized, boring journal entry, lacking plot and excitement. It drabs on to say that Jean meets a patient in the hospital (who later dies) for whom she writes a story. Then, ofcourse, the reader wonders what the story is about, so Christopher Pike makes me wish I never asked, by putting in the entire story. Around fifteen pages.
   To make things more complicated, the story is completely weird and a tad psychotic. It is about a writer and how one day she discovers how she has a troll for a muse who likes women, money, and long phone calls. She is then forced to give her muse most of her money until she goes to a local author and gets him to solve her problem by presenting it to him in the way of a story-line. So she seduces the troll-muse (content not suitable for children under the age of thirteen (in other words, not exactly pleasant to read)) and locks him in the closet. The end.
   Then Shari goes on to put to rest the wonders of her friends and family. (Like her house cleaner, for example, (her real mother) who she let know that Shari really loved her as a mother and knew who she was)
   Okay. Analysis time! Put on your seat-belt, because it is time for my trademark rant. The exits are at the top of the page incase you decide to click the "back" button in exhaustion!
   (deep breath)
   Even though this book was at my reading level, written by Christopher Pike, a sequel to an awesome book, and liked by most, I still can't understand why the publisher published it. Maybe because Christoper Pike signed a book-deal?
   Okay. It would appeal to the majority of today's teen population as an okay book. I say that mainly because there were a majority of characters who were buff Hispanic gang members who smoked pot and drunk. And were essentially "good for nothing" as some would put it. However, I think I am the only one (that I know of) to go that far. Most would say Pike accurately depicted the inner-city atomosphere. Which might be true, but I found it as though he was going by some huge stereotype. Another reason most would like it is because it has the whole "go for hope", "there is such thing as a heaven", "if you do well in this life you get to go back and do good for human kind" message. Maybe most teenagers need to believe that, or they do already, and so this book can relate to their beliefs (therefore they like it). Does it make a difference that I don't believe such things? Maybe. Hehe, look at me, as I am ranting on and on here I realized another major reason why I don't like this book:
   Religious content.
   Okay, so Christopher is not (to my knowledge) a die-hard religious freak preaching to others who god is and whatnot. But, he did go a bit over-board with the whole god-afterlife thing. Even though in this book god was... well, not what most people believe, you still had to read about three chapters of Shari asking some super-natural from heaven questions about it. That was a little much for me.
   To go back to the whole plot-thing:
   This book also had so many different plots and chapters dealing with so many people it didn't work, it was too overwhelming. This might have worked if it was some novel where you needed to know everything, otherwise you wouldn't get anything, but not here, where knowing too much could lead your brain to nearly explode and, therefore, take away from the main enjoyment of even reading the book.
   As I am sitting here typing this, I realize that maybe Christopher Pike wanted to kind of do an epilogue on Shari and whatnot. But then his publisher told him it had to be around three hundred pages and be an actual story, resulting in a hodge-podge of an epilogue and Christopher Pike's interpretation of the afterlife and Shari's struggle with it. This will remain a mystery forever to those not Christopher Pike or his editor, and so we can only infer.
   I admit, this book did nicely sum up Shari's life and whatnot. It answered some questions that I had at the end of the first book. But I still would've been better-off if I hadn't read it and left those things to my imagination.
   I think if I don't end this soon it will never end.
   So I will end with these last few sentences:
   All in all, this book didn't really "click" for me. It was a bit lovey-dovey, without a real plot, and dull. An unpleasant read. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, simply because I didn't like it, but I'm not saying others would hate it. Some people may have loved it, that's just how I felt.
   (whew)

5 comments about Whispers from the Past (Charmed).

1. One of my favorite shows is Charmed. I think this books helps in the history of the show. If a person enjoyed the show I think the books give an extra dimension to it.
   
   In this book the girls (Prue, Piper and Phoebe)are pulled into the past to save a relative(named Prudence) in Salem.



2. Hi, how are you all? Well I know this book is wonderful! Acually i never read the book charmed but i did read the book so little time, which is by the same author. That was a very good book. So if that was a good book that she wote then this should be good also. The book is very intersting and tells you alot of information and some good heads up and tips. Kids my age would like the book, i would belive..... I might not be giving alot of information right now but the more information you want is right inside the book. So i would suggest to read the book and i think you will injoy it! I also think Charmed is a good book to read too.!.!.!.!.! Well i hope i at least helped you out a little bit. And i hope you read BOTH books because reading is good for you , and just enjoy them! Thank you for taking your time out to read this.



3. I have a penchant for time-travel stories, as they are striking, interesting, not to mention compelling. This book is inevitably one of them. Phoebe being abducted into past by a time-demon during the times of the Salem Witch Trials was huge (amazing)!! I'm not going to reveal details of the story, but what I don't get is that how on earth could the Charmed Ones use their powers in the past, and how the Law of no coincidences is oblivious to the author.
   
   
   But as this is not the tv show, I suppose authors are able to use their imagination freely. My fave bit of this book is how Piper and Prue was under the evil influence of the root tea Prudence drank, given by Hugh, and they acquired amazing powers, which included being "evil" themselves and coming in handy to rescue their sister. I especially like the fact that Prudence did not succumb to the tainted root tea to nearly kill her own descendant, as the power of good always prevails!!! Also, its nice to involve the Charmed Ones' ancestor to this book, as readers somewhat know more about certain witches from the Warren line. Rosalind Noonan did a good job portraying each sister's characters, and how all their different and unique personalities combined together can pack a huge wallop. True to the series, with dry humour added and the Power of Three situation makes Whispers from the Past all the more enjoyable. And the fact that poor Phoebe, despite "stuck playing cinderella", she was determined to stay focused on the path to solving the problem, is also rather warmth-evoking.
   
   In a nutshell: If you like Charmed, there's no doubt you will like this book. Not as excellent as Soul of the Bride, but close. One of my all-time faves. Well worth it!!!



4. Finally, a Phoebe episode [well book] that any Charmed fan can get behind. It's a time travel piece and a family get-together. Need I say more?



5. Fantastic addition to the Charmed series :) Not as good as 'Soul of the Bride' but up there with the best of the books.
   
   I always love a good time-travel story if it's: 1) Well-Written, 2) Believeable. This book gets it on both counts.
   
   The evil piper/prue angle was kinda amusing *ducks* The new powers they got were awesome too (though Piper's was kind of an extension on her stopping tme power)
   
   This book does have a couple errors (Girls using their powers in the past to get home) but considering these books aren't written as fast as the series is ('least most of them seem that way)... we need to give the author's a break. We can't expect them to keep up with the pace/storylines of the show.
   
   Considering SOME of the storylines 'Charmed' has taken, maybe the creators should look to some of these books for plot ideas.
   
   I hope Miss Noonan puts in another contribution to the Charmed series again sometime.

5 comments about The House on Hound Hill.

1. This is a completely absorbing page- turner with fascinating historical details. I thought Emily, the protagonist, was particularly interesting. Many authors label their protagonists, giving them a certain type of personality that isn't very common among teenagers. Emily is normal in every way, yet she shines. This is because she is very realistic and likable. Though she is a bit downtrodden from major changes in her life (a divorce, a new home, and a new school), she doesn't whine excessively, nor does she take it unrealistically with no complaints. I was also very pleased with the ending. There was no corny parting scene where Emily's seventeenth century friends go back to their time through a swirling vortex with tears in their eyes.
   
   I immensely enjoyed reading this book. My only complaint concerns the title. Although the book's title is The House on Hound Hill, it was originally published in Britain as Here Comes a Candle to Light You To Bed. I think the original title is much more intriguing and should not have been changed.



2. I've never been so "in" to a book that it made me jump in my seat until i read this. Prince has done a fantastic job of painting history, intruige, and fiction into this story. Everything from visions of ghosts repeating the cycle of their tragic lives, the protagonist becoming lost in the past, the past intertwining with the present, plague pits, and death make this story a favorite of mine.



3. The House on Hound Hill by Maggie Prince was a very good book. it had suspense, adventure, and history. it is about a 16-year-old girl, Emily, and her experienceswith the Black Plague of 1665. She has just moved into an old house in a London neighborhood called Hound Hill. She starts seeing, hearing and even smalling things from the time of the Black Death. She was transported to 1665 several times. Then she begins getting stranhge symptoms. On one last trip to 1665, she learns more about the horrors of the Plague and her new acquaintances from the time. For this trip, she stays an unusually long time and, like the other times, she doesn't know how to get back.



4. Emily's new house in London's historic neighborhood is filled with secrets of the past - secrets which bring Emily right into the past as she begins to experience plague symptoms and uncovers a doorway to an era where the Black Death killed almost a quarter of London's people. A challenging, involving story which blends real history with supernatural overtones in a riveting style.



5. The House On Hound Hill is a wondrfull book about a teenagegirl's troubles and the plague of London. Emily is shattered by herparents recent divorce and her new neighborhood.She is depressed aboutfailing exams.Emily starts to hear whispers and meets an man looking for his cat.Soon odd things start to happen.Emily discovers the past is still alive.She periodically goes back in time and experiences London in 1665.She sees beggars and watchmen.This book describes how it was at the time of the plague.The imagery and details add colorful contrast to this sad story.I enjoyed this book because I learned about the plague.Parts of the book did seem confusing at first, but they were later explained.

5 comments about The Bad Girl (New Fear Street, Book 4).

1. Dawn and Jan mixed different chemicals in the science lab. It was just a game. They never expected the frog to return to life. Then they reanimate a dog, then a person. But they all come back changed.
   
   Great story, like a YA version of Stephen King's Pet Cemetery.



2. Two friends form a formula that can bring anything dead back to life. They experiment this on a dog who is dying and then recovers. But they get other results when they use it on someone....bad results.



3. this book was awesome!I will recomend you to read this book.The book was about two girls who make up a secret formula.They wasn't supposed to be doing it but they did.They brought back a frog to life that they was supposed to be disecting for science. Then they brought back a dog from dying.When they were coming from a party they ran over a girl named Candy.They did not like her because she kept on telling on them. But they did not mean it because they did not see her because she was crying. The reason she was crying because she got humiliated.Luckily her friend brought the formula.Well when ever they had the formula they would turn into a monster.Anyway whenever they got mad they will blow up.Candy kept on being mean to them and she stole their boyfriends.Well at the ending They got Candy to get mad. But she was asking them to give her the formula and they could not find it. Well when Candy did die she left a letter sying that she put the formula in their bottle of water.



4. Fear Street has always held me captive with it's tales of normal teenagers mixed up in terrifying situations.
   I never thought I would dislike a Fear Street story, but I really am NOT KEEN on this one.
   I can almost believe in the tales of ghosts and psychos.But this one is just ridiculous.I couldn't wait for it to be over.
   It is about 2 teen girls who discover the formula to bring living beings back to life.The person or animal who was previously dead is now a monster and eventually explodes!!!!!!
   If this had been my first experience of Fear Street I would never have read the other books!
   It's kind of suspenseful but mostly not the one I would recommend.



5. Well i'll admit i haven't read this book, but by the review below me it sounds SOooo much like Stephen King's Pet Sematary... which isn't exactly a bad thing, that book was fantastic. BUT, to me it seems a bit Copy-Catish--also this is one of the 'new fear street' books, in which you will also find a book called Camp Out in that series, which seems to be a Blair Witch Project wanna be . . . Hmm, R.L. needs to get his own ideas!

5 comments about The Third Horror (99 Fear Street, No. 3).

1. In the third book of 99 Fear Street, Kody returns to 99 Fear Street to make a movie of the actual house itself. Being famous is not the reason why Kody went back to 99 Fear Street. She promised that Caly, her dead sister that she would return there to find her.
   
   However, Kody doesn't know that Cally has become evil. Cally will do anything to stop the filming of 99 Fear Street.
   
   I think this book was worth the read. The ending is sad depending on how sensitive you are to other people.



2. This book rocks! If you are a Fear Street fan like me, READ THIS! NOW! R.L. Stine is a genius. The first two were awesome....And he outdid himself again! I write books for my 6th grade classmates and he inspires me so! Thanks R.L. Stine, if I ever meet you, I'll treat you to saganaki. ;)



3. Waaaaa it's sooooo sad sob, sob I just finished reading it. While I was reading it I listened to a song! Now every time I play the song I remember the fraiser family being torn apart, and the hand waving goodbye. Read this book and you'll be amazed!! Take it from me read them all !!!! This book is the BOMB! P.s. the way the chapters end, you cand never stop reading



4. i thought the book wasn't a bad book or a really good book. So i basically thought it was an average book. It wasn't that scary and horrifing. But there was a good story to it. It is about a girl who comes back to this haunted house to find the ghost of her dead sister that died a while back. But her sister causes all these accidents tha kills people. So if with a good story, but isn't that scary but with alot of surprises that wil surprise you then you should read this book.



5. I thought that this was a very interesting book. The reason I think that is because it was a real cliff hanger, and I don't know about you but I like cliff hangers. But if you haven't read the first two then the third one odes not make any sence at all. So my advise to every one who reads this review, make sure you read the first two before you read this one. Thank you for your time, and I hope you have this review will help you in the long run for picking out books. -Anonymous-

5 comments about Cheerleaders: The New Evil (Fear Street Super Chillers, No. 7).

1. Because of the weird accidents happening lately, Corky, Kimmy and Debra think the evil is back and is inside Ivy, the new cheerleader. They try to drown the evil inside Ivy by contacting it but has unfortunate results.



2. Corky and her friends think that the evil is back. All kinds of horrible stuff is happening. Like first one of the girls on the cheerleading squad falls and breaks her neck. So then there is an opening for another cheerleader. So they have try-outs and they have narrowed it down to three girls but, while they are discusing it a screw driver falls from the bleachers and hits one of the girls that made the squad so, then they have to pick the second best person and that is Lauren. So the only one that didnt make it is Ivy but, she stays at all the practices because she said that if something happened she could be on the squad. And then Namia almost gets burned to death so then Ivy is on the squad. Then Corky and her friends think that the evil is in Ivy because Ivy wanted on the squad really bad and all thoes girls started getting hurt so she could be on the squad. So Corky and her friends have a big ice skating party and the invite everyone so that Ivy will come and they can try and get the evil out of her. So they get a spell from this spel book that they bought and started chanting. But, then the evil comes out from below the ice and they know that they have messed up and that the evil never was there but, that they had just awaked the evil. Then the evil starts killing people but, they dont know who the evil is in. Then they find out that the evil is in Alex so they drown the evil out of him.



3. It was a great book. I loved it. It the best cheerleaders book. When I read the first two pages I just couldn't believe that book is so interesting. You just got to go and get this book its a wonderful book.



4. I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!! i have read all the cheerleader books and i have to say they are edge of the seat thrillers!!!
   this one just keeps you gueesing till the very end.
   corky and the other cheerleaders are worried that the evil has escaped from its icey prision were corky had put it when she sees a funny mist coming form a hole in the ice so they invite all the cheerleaders and the football team to an iceskating party to figure out just WHO the evil has taken over this time.
   but they end up releasing it themselves.
   more gursome deaths follow with a deadly chase for corky and her friends close to the end. you will never guess who the evil inhabits till the end. it is the most surprising one yet!!
   i think all in all that the cheerleader saga is the best and recomend it to all rl stine fans!!!



5. I have read all of the cheerleaders books but i'm still trying to get all of the 1000 fear street books i liked the cheerleader books because i'm an assistant cheerleader that means that i get to become a cheerleader well i thought that this was a good book but maybe a couple parts could be better! HAVE FUN READING IT!

2 comments about Road Kill (Insomniacs).

1. My nine year old, who is not an avid reader, loved this book. He couldn't put it down and insisted that I read it as soon as he finished. It was entertaining and quirky; I can see how it would appeal to kids, and I didn't find it tedious. I came online to see if there are any more in the series, and hope that I can find them.



2. I'm not one for children's books, especially horror, but when my eight year old raved on constantly about this I had to sit down and read it. After a couple of pages I was hooked. It involves strange subterranean creatures who live on the Black Track, which is a road running through the Australian desert. They capture a young boy who has been thrown from a car after an accident, and spend the rest of the book discussing whether or not they should eat him or treat him as a God. It's extremely funny, fast moving and has some interesting messages about the aftermath of nuclear testing and the value of family. It's well worth a read, even though I'm not an 8 year old, and I'm now looking around for others in the series for my child, who now bugs me endlessly.

5 comments about Fingerprints #1: Gifted Touch.

1. Imagine being able to read the thoughts of others just by touching their fingerprints. Awesome, but freaky right? This series is about a girl named Rae with just that ability. This book documents the day she discovers her ability and how her lie changes afterwards. First of all, everyone back at her school thinks she's a nutcase. SEcond, she's being forced to go to group therapy (where she meets Anthony and Jesse who help her understand her gift). Third... someones out to kill her!
   
   Great storyline, a little slow and frustrating for the reader who understands Rae's ability even though Rae, the narrator, does not. And I must warn you, although the early books in the series hint a relationship between Rae and Anthony, it won't develop until later on in the series... so stick with it. (thats the only reason I rated the book 4 stars)
   
   Happy Reading!



2. Rae starts out as a normal teenager and she is living a pretty good life. That is until she starts having thoughts that are not hers. She begins to think that she is going crazy, like her mother did before she died in an insane asylum. Then finally Anthony, a guy she met at one of her support groups, figured out that she had a wonderful and amazing gift. But somebody doesnt like this whole amazing gift idea. They want Rae dead and fast. With her gift she starts to investigate who wants to kill her and why. Rae and Anthony go through sad, happy and angry times. These books are great because at the end of each book they leave you hanging so you cannot put it down, but you have to keep reading each book within a matter of days! I recommend this book to people of all ages. It doesnt even matter what kind of book you like, this one has mystery, suspense, romance, and fanstasy all put together. If I had to choose one book to read over and over again I would definitely choose this one!



3. Rae, a girl on the verge because she thinks she's going crazy starts out trying to ignore all of the weird thoughts that keep coming to her brain, that aren't hers. She thinks she's going insane, but in truth she's getting an amazing gift. With the help of Anthony, a guy she meets in her group meetings that are for stepping out of the thought of being crazy, she finally realizes what's happening to her. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this series!!!! It is SSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good that you can't put it down and you simply HAVE to get through it without putting it down! That is something to say for me, because I've read so many good books out there. So PLEASE experience the feeling of going into Rae's mind and getting the feeling that makes you feel like you ARE the characters in the book! This series is a total MUST-READ!!!!!! So, what are you waiting for?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Go read it!!!! PLEASE!!!!



4. I own the whole Fingerprints series. It is literally impossible to read one and have no desire to read the others. You just have to. Rae finally resolves one problem, then at the end of the book another pops up. Melinda Metz keeps the reader feeling for Rae, rooting her on. And Anthony is adorable. The chemistry that Metz builds between the two is just right, and satisfies any hopeless romantics out there. The books should also satisfy those searching for mystery, suspense and good old science fiction. It's a great series, and definitely worth the time.



5. The Fingerprints series has got to be one of the best series i've ever read! from the very beginning of book one, Gifted Touch, i can't put them down, even when i've read them so many times i've memorized them! They are the perfect combination of sci-fi, suspense, and romance, yet they still convince you that they could happen. melinda metz did a spectacular job writing these books! i reccomend them to anybody who loves a good cant-put-it-down read.
