Nov 09, Rachel rated it really liked it. While my adult self sees this more as a 3 star read, the nostalgia factor weighs heavily with this, as it stayed with me for many years after first reading it as an adolescent, therefore bumping it up to 4. When Mark meets Becky, he's sure it's love.
But Becky is involved with Ray and isn't interested in a new relationship. Then Mark befriends Kara and Vincent, a young couple new to the area. Kara soon embarks on a mission to turn Becky against Ray, thus paving the way for Mark, who's puzzled by Kara's determination. This novel offers everything a reader could want -- action, foreshadowing, love, theology, and a strong message.
That said, it cannot be denied that too many disparate elements are thro When Mark meets Becky, he's sure it's love. That said, it cannot be denied that too many disparate elements are thrown in: romance, computer programming, time travel, murder, space stations, maniacal military leadership and intergalactic aliens.
What saves it is Pike's raw writing style which is truly a gamut of emotions tinged with the truly surreal and bizarre. Jul 10, Sunny rated it it was amazing.
I remember finding this gem of a book back in the middle school library in a cardboard box filled with old books and marked "Take one". It didn't have a front or back cover, and for a long time I didn't even know its title, but See You Later hooked me from the first page and I bet if I went home and dug up my bedraggled hand-me-down now, I would be just as hooked.
I think this was my introduction to sci-fi and romance in the same book, a most excellent combination if I do say so myself. Great reading experience. Give it a try! Did anyone else keep expecting Agents Mulder and Scully to show up?
Or was it just me? Perhaps the book would have been better if the famed agents HAD made a cameo. Of course this book was published a couple years before The X-Files made its debut on TV its publication even preceeded "Beyond Reality," the little-known Sci-Fi Network show I am convinced was an inspiration for the X-files It was also about aliens. Of sorts. Ba Did anyone else keep expecting Agents Mulder and Scully to show up? Basically view spoiler [a woman goes back in time to prevent the end of the world.
And she ends up killing her past self in the process. But since it's kind of her fault the apocalypse happened in the first place, perhaps she acheived her goal. Just not in the way she expected. I think I'm done with Pike books. This one was particularly bad. The characters were flat and all had the same voice. The plot jumped around, required enormous suspension of belief, and, at times, it seemed like the author didn't know where he was going with the story.
He was just rambling, and that made for an extremely convoluted plot. Also, I found it hard to believe that the main character could be so stupid as to not recognize his girlfriend in her future form. Or himself, for that matter.
I mean, "Howdy, Stranger. You look freakishly like me except older and way cooler. And, by the way, your GF looks freakishly like a slightly older version of my crush. I'm severly creeped out, so I'm going to back away slowly and forget this ever happened.
I just didn't like it. It was a little too angsty for me. And I just didn't like the narrator. He wined waaaaay too much. And I swear by all that is holy, if I have to read one more book where an emo male narrator is in love with a MPDG character, I will vomit.
I quit reading a little more than halfway through and then flipped to the epilogue and all its spoilery goodness , which pretty much summed up the entire story as well as made an attempt to explain some of the finer points of why the weirdness happened in the first place. I need to go and read something awesome now. A computer with less than 1 MG of memory.
May 22, Jessie Tuz rated it liked it. I loved Christopher Pike when I was a kid, and I'm trying to collect all of his teen fiction books. Most of them don't age well, including this one, but I still love them, nostalgia and all that.
It's a quick read, and at least they have some more profound ideas in them than most teen fiction. Oct 25, Paula Brandon rated it it was amazing. This was amazing. I cried a little when I first read it. So tragic! I found my old battered copy from my teenage years after I moved in with my partner. I had to sticky-tape the cover back on.
He read it too, but he won't admit to crying at the end. I know he's lying. Christopher Pike never took the easy way out with his books. He always made the characters hurt. And the reader hurt. So much hurt! It's got romance, horror, humour and freakin' time-travel! Even the title has heart-breaking relevanc This was amazing.
Even the title has heart-breaking relevance. Don't miss it! And closer. Until it latches onto the human and everything unravels and the climax is rolling.
And then you disappear, maybe leaving a limb behind. Because your dead. Dec 22, Heather added it Shelves: home-library. Oh wow. Oh oh oh wow.
At least this book put into perspective what "terrible" means re: young adult fiction. Not as bad! That said, it was interesting to see how Christopher Pike whose name is lifted from one of the greatest sci-fi series of all times handles science fiction.
The answer? He handles it very, very poorly. View 2 comments. Could not get past the main character at the beginning of the book. He feels like he has an almost instant love with a girl who has a boyfriend. He then proceeds to visit her at work all the time and think about how he is pursuing her anyway. He also pulls out the 'nice guy' card. It creeped me out too much for me to finish. Jun 12, Jen rated it really liked it. I was a Christopher Pike junkie back in my youth, and I'm pretty sure this was the one that I loved the most.
It was about time travel, and spirits, I think. I'm shady on the details, I just remember it made me cry my eyes out. Jun 09, Jill rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: teen mystery readers. Shelves: kids-n-teens. God I loved this book! This book can still fuck my shit up even when I'm no longer in puberty. It's painful and so awesome.
