Review-Remember Me

Remember Me by Christopher Pike

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Shari Cooper was a typical teen with boyfriend trouble and cravings for chocolate cake. Now she's a ghost trying to solve her own murder.

This has always been one of my favorite Christopher Pike books. Excellent story with interesting characters, especially the main character, Shari. Through Shari we get an in depth look at death as she sets out to prove that she did not jump off a balcony to her death at a friend's birthday party, and that she was in fact, murdered. The suspects are the other kids at the party: Jo, Shari's best friend; Dan, Shari's boyfriend who has been cheating on her; Beth, the birthday girl whom Dan is cheating with; Amanda, a shy, quiet girl who is the daughter of Shari's housekeeper and the girlfriend of her brother; and Jeff, the guy Jo has a crush on. As Shari travels in the afterlife trying to make some sense of her death, she is joined by a former classmate, Peter, who was killed in a motorcycle accident and Jeff's brother.

This story is full of twists and turns and is an enjoyable, creepy read. Shari Cooper definitely gets her one wish when the reader is finished this story: people will remember her.

Review-Broken Hearts (Fear Street Super Chiller) *Spoilers*

Broken Hearts by R.L. Stine

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This is definitely one of my favorite Fear Street books. I loved the characters of the McClain sisters, Rachel, Josie, and Erica. Josie was my favorite character, she reminded me a lot of what I imagine high school Kristy Thomas would be like. I was bummed that she gets killed off midway through the book but I enjoyed the parts she was in. The reveal of who the killer was a shocker, although I could go back and see that the signs did point to that person, but not too obviously so. The first time I read this book, I had no idea who it would be. I definitely recommend this as a quick, frivolous read around Valentine's Day.
