Ive always love'd his book's it sent me far away worlds and I got to see things though the main story tellers eye's as always his work is wonderful . his work is better then any movie or tv show out there I challage anyone to read his books and if they dont like it they probley have bad taste . ya I am a teen 22 years of age but as a kid these books saved my life. I felt like I was in another world a better one.

The book itself was not very grand or exceptionaly written. It spanned a short period of time, and didn't get you very involved with the characters. It almost seemed like a recap of some greater story - dry. To the credit of the book, it had a very original premise, and an imaginitive story. If you are a Christopher Pike fan, or someone who enjoys this type of Sci-Fi fantasy, then you would probably get a pleasureable experience out of this book, perhaps even be touched, for it does have that possibility. In this case the plot would more then make up for the poor character sketches. On the other hand, someone not already accustomed to this style/type of story might find alot of fault, and a mediocre novel.

I first encountered this book when my best friend handed it to me and asked me to read it for him so he could get his book report done in time. I figured I could do him a favor and read it in a couple days. I'd never read any Christopher Pike before, but this totally blew me away! This book rules. It's like Animorphs crossed with a whole bunch of other things. Lots of sex, nudity, cussing, lots of science fiction, and a bit of violence and action. Virtually everything I look for in a book. Buy this book and read it! You won't regret it!

I love Christopher Pike but I did not like this book. The storyline is ok but I didn't like the ending so much. I have read a few of his books before and they were all excellent. The endings were totally unpredictable, this book was different. A few chapters into the story, i had a feeling that Gale wasn't the perfect girl she was poprtrayed to be, and around the middle of the book, I knew she was the evil one. The beginning of the book was good though. If you want to read a GOOD book that is sort of like this one, I would recommend "the starlight crystal" by Christopher Pike

This was the worse Pike book ever. This was the third Pike book I read and almost stopped reading his books if I hadn't been bored one day and picked up Scavenger Hunt which is a much better book. Star Group just seemed too out there and too thrown together.

Ok, the beginning of the book was excellent but as soon as the deaths start occuring, things start to get a little rushed! You're probably hearing this from a lot of people because it's true! The ending simply felt as if Pike had 2 minutes remaining in a deadline he had to make. I mean near the end, deaths were happening too fast! It left me unsatisfied and with a big "?" mark over my head. Since I am a sensitive person, it actually almost had me crying but I was too confused and dissapointed to. The book isn't bad at all, it's just not Pike's best. I would recommend reading the Last Vampire series, Chain Letter series, and Scavenger Hunt.

This is the story of a group of friends who take a little vacation after they graduate from high school. While up there, odd things start to happen. A mystery unfold, one that leads to deaths. The end of the book ties the whole thing together, as most of Pike's books do. I loved this book and the way Pike always surprises you with what happens at the end

I overall liked this book, what i found was that at first.. the storyline went really slow, then nothing happened, then boom! it's the climax.. then.. what just happened? u think to urself, the back cover confused me, and some of the writing was just too odd, like how they talk to him... some of it's ok, some of it was stupid, like too much death too fast!

Go out and buy this book. It is so strange and wonderful. It is about the basic struggle between good and evil, but hits you hard and shows you about life. I couldn't put it down, and I've read it 5 times now. It's a great book and you should definitely read it!!

I thought this book looked really really good. I did not like it at all. Yeah, the characters were realistic, but it just wasn't what I hoped it would be.
