From Publishers Weekly

When Mark, 18, meets Becky, he's sure it's love. But Becky is involved with Ray, 20, 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. He eventually learns that Kara is Becky, some 40 years into the future. She's been given the chance to travel back in time and rectify her past in order to prevent World War III. The plot is amazingly convoluted: the story is even more confusing than it sounds. Too many disparate elements are thrown in: romance, computer programming, time travel, murder, space stations, maniacal military leadership and intergalactic aliens. Pike's writing shows a definite comedic flair, but nothing can compensate for this muddled maze of a novel. Ages 13-up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mesmerizing!, July 7, 2004

This review is from: See You Later (Paperback)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars PIKE'S BEST EVER!, May 16, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: See You Later (Turtleback)

I love Christopher Pike, and in my opinion this is his best book ever. In it, Pike shows off his great sense of humor (a quality of his writing so often overlooked) and his ability to develop complex characters that you truly care for, along with an amazing plot. Although complicated, the plot is not difficult to understand once you get into it. It is brilliant and unpredictable, and you won't be able to put this book down. But the main reason I prefer this book over all of Pike's other masterpieces is the characters. It's told from the perspective of Mark Forum, a senior in high school who programs computer games. Mark has a brilliant sense of humor, he's witty and smart. He feels like a real person, someone you'd know and care about. The other characters aren't developed quite as well, because they're all seen from Mark's perspective, but all are excelent. The ending of this book was one of the best I've ever read. It was sad but also happy, and it really makes you think. I'd recommend this book to anyone, fans of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, teen novels, whatever. Everyone should read this book

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!".
