This is a pretty typical Christopher Pike book. In this book a girl, Jane, is going to Hawaii with some of her girlfriends. On the plane ride she sits next to a boy, Mike, and it turns out he is going to stay at the same hotel as her. He ends up choking and dying on the plane. When the girl, Jane, arrives she can't stop thinking about Mike on the plane. She gets to really like diving and meets Johnny who is the diving instructor at the hotel. Every thing starts turning around just when she thought her vacation was wrecked from her plane experience. Then one of the two girlfriends she is with dies.....she fell off the balcony, or was she pushed??? Jane starts figuring out things she didn't know about but should have been told about. Then she finds out interesting things about Mike and has a hunch that he didn't just die on the plane from choking.....maybe he didn't even die on the plane! With all this new information she almost gets herself killed but in the end things turn out the way they are supposed to. The only thing I didn't like about this book is it's really hard not to know whats going to happen.

Have you ever been to Hawaii? Better yet have you ever been scuba diving in Hawaii? Well that's exactly what Jean Fiscal is doing. Plus she's meeting two friends there, Mandy Bart and Michele Kala. WHile on the plane ride a strange boy with two frist names comes and sits with her. A tragedy strikes and he dies right in front of her after speaking some very stange words.

She arives at the hotel and her friends talk her into takeing a scuba lesson with two hotties, Johnny and Dave. Mandy is intrested in Johnny but so is jean and it seems he's intrested in her too.

WHile she sleeps Jean has very disturbing dreams about murder. She leanrs that Johnny and Dave had recently lost a partner;Ringo. One night she has a dream of the mysterious boy from the plane, the boy with two names; MIke Clyde. She shes how he died and it's not good(but the desription of it is amazing!)

Soon Jean is on the run becaue whoever killed Mike is gonna do the same to her if she's not careful, because she discovered a skull in an underground cave.

Many mysetious twists and turns, the end is not really a shocker because he leaves good clues that point to the person but at the same time you really have to think about who it is. Will Jean ever make it back from this vacation in Hawaii?

Bury Me Deep is the first Christopher Pike book I've ever read. I got it free in a book fair and ever since I read this one, I don't read any other books except for Pike's...Ive read almost all of his books and this one is by far, my favorite! Its suspensful and unpredictable! You have no idea what is going to happen next...

the storyline of this book is really good, the book started off really well and kept me page turning but I got sooooooo bored when mr.Pike dedicated a whole chapter to scuba diving. although scuba diving is basically what it's all about, there were too many details. also the killer was obvious right after some chapters (to me anyway). I did suspect a better ending to this book. It was a nice story though, but probably one of the best books Pike has ever written is Whisper of death. This one gets to you like no other book does.

Although this book is good, I felt that it spent too much of the book describing scuba-diving, and how it worked, etc., etc. The plot was simple, perhaps too simple, and the ending quite predictable.

However, it was not in any way horrible, and I enjoyed reading it.

This is what got me hooked on Pike. Now, 4 years later, I have read all of Pike's books and he's still my favorite author. I really recommend it

"Bury Me Deep" begins with Jean Fiscal on her way to Hawaii for spring vacation. She's going to meet her two friends (Mandy Bart and Michele Kala) in Maui, who have already started their vacation a couple days earlier.

Jean is expecting to have a great time there, but she doesn't even leave the airplane before her vacation is changed for the worse. The young man (Mike Clyde) sitting next to her suddenly has a seizure and dies. Although she only got to know him briefly, Jean is very affected by his death.

She tries to forget about the incident once she arrives on the island. Her two friends try to help by introducing her to two scuba diving instructors, Johnny and Dave. The five of them make plans to go scuba diving, which is a great distraction for Jean. She's quick to pick up on the sport, and it becomes a necessary skill for her throughout the book. She also falls for Johnny, even though she had promised Mandy she wouldn't interfere since Mandy had set her eyes on him first.

Even though she is able to suppress the horror on the plane for awhile, Jean begins having nightmares, and one in particular remains predominant. She's swimming in the ocean with Mike. He leads her to a cave, exactly like the one he had described to her on the plane, and shows her a human skull with a bullet hole in it. Jean knows Mike is trying to tell her something, but she doesn't know what.

Then, on another scuba diving trip with her friends, Jean insists they swim out to a vacant cove. For reasons unknown, she's drawn to this spot. It becomes even more eerie when Jean finds a cave and skull just like the one Mike had shown her in her dream.

This supernatural mystery links two separate deaths: the death of Mike and a fellow scuba diver of Dave and Johnny's, Ringo. At first, neither seem related at all. After all, Mike had died on the plane and Dave and Johnny's friend had died a year ago. However, Jean reveals that Mike had, in fact, died a month ago--not days ago--at the exact spot where she found the cave and skull. His ghost is what keeps hanging around, haunting her dreams and almost driving her crazy. But it's the only way for him to show her the clues that will uncover and solve his death, as well as Ringo's.

I had a hard time getting into this book. Mike's death at the beginning seemed pointless, and I wasn't really sure how the book was going to develop. Then, halfway through it, the book began to pick up the pace and I was able to put the pieces of the plot together. I wasn't too surprised, though, when I found out who the bad guy was. In fact, you'll probably be able to guess him/her close to the end; it's really obvious.

The book as a whole wasn't too terribly bad, but I certainly wouldn't recommend this one. Unless you love Christopher Pike books, I'd take the advice of the title and dig a bottomless pit and toss this one in.

This book was the best book i have ever read. I read it in 1 hour. It is by far the scariest book. it is about a girl Called jean with her 2 friends go to hawwai on vacation. Jean meets a boy on the plane called mike. Mike chokes and dies. Mike was the boy sitting next to her in the plane. When Jean arrives to the island, Her and her friends decide to take scuba diving lessons with Dave and Johnny. Jean was scuba diving and went inside a cave and saw a skull. Mysteries happen on their way and she finds out Mike died a month before she saw him. She gets confused and them figures out that someone or some people are trying to murdur people underwater to hide the murdur of the scull. Jean tries to find who it is. And goes through many dangers.

This is a great book and it will be a mistake if you dont read it. I suggest it is for ages 10-16. i hope this review was helpfull to u coz everything i wrote here is a fact

I will be the first to say that some things are sort of obvious in the book, but it doesn't really hold the book back. I really loved the story because it had very few slow points, and the story was interesting. This is obviosly a Pike book right from the begining, and holds out till the very end. There are actually some creepy parts in the book as well. A must read for anyone.

THIS BOOK IS AWESOME! PIKE MIXES SUSPENSE AND HORROR ALONG WITH A SURPRISE ENDING! THIS IS A MUST READ!
