5.0 out of 5 stars Definetly worth reading, December 31, 2002

I think I have read all of Pike's books that are still in print and he is my favorite author. I love to read horror and mysteries and that's what he writes. Not to mention he has amazing details. Scavenger Hunt was one of my favoirtes.

The book opens in a church where a frantic boy tells the story of his day to a fairly disbeliving preist.

Carl, Cessy, Tom, Tracie, Rick, Paula and Davey are just a few seniors whose class is having a scavenger hunt. Carl just lost his best friend Joe and Tom is his only other really good friend since.

The scavenger hunt has weird rules and weird clues. But no one seems to think it as anything odd. They are all just happy to be having fun and not be in school.

Soon things get even weirder. Carl notcies that apart from his group Tracies group is the only other one they've seen since about the second clue.

Before they can stop it they are thrown into a deadly game. A Scavenger Hunt where they are the scavengers prey.

This review is from: Scavenger Hunt (Mass Market Paperback)

As a person who is 30-something years old I was looking for a change of pace from the "mature adult" sci-fi and fantasy books I normally read.
I found this little treasure in the young adult section of one of my used books stores and am sold that Christopher Pike is definitely worth a few more tries.

Great book! On section was truely suspensful and very little could be guessed as I read through the book. This left the end as a nice suprise. A great sense of building tension and mystery in what appears to be a totally innocent event but turns into something so much more.

SPOILER...Pike doesn't ever really tell you about the "bad guys" and what their origins are yet the story seemed totally believable in the midst of so many questions that needed answering. Great job Pike!

5.0 out of 5 stars Christopher Pike - a young reader's favorite, June 26, 2007

I discovered Mr. Pike's books when I was about 12 or 13 years old back in the late 80s and was immediately hooked. I am 30 now, and remember how much I enjoyed his stories and how they were at just the right reading level for a young teen looking for a suspenseful, sometimes gory, and challenging storyline. I didn't care about stupid New Kids on the Block, I wanted to know how Pike's Final Friends trilogy was going to end. Who did it?! My friends and I had our own theories and analyzed the facts together. Mr. Pike is writing for the future fans of such writers as Patricia Cornwell and David Baldacci and I highly recommend him for any young, maturing reader.
