Remember Me

by Christopher Pike

I have been interested in novels by Christopher Pike since I first discovered one of

his works. I find his stories very concentrated of deep concepts and meaning. I recently

discovered that to find the vast intellect to something, the reader has to look at it more

than once. The first book in his series, Remember Me, was very good the first time I

read it. I discovered that the second and third time I read it, I saw all sorts of little

meanings hidden in every other sentence. The book gives very believable theories on

“after life”, that I discovered myself no longer fearing death, as everyone does. From

reading that book, or series, the reader has to wonder if he has experienced death himself,

and some how come back. The story is mainly about a teenage girl, soon to be done with

high school, that is thrown off of a balcony, and dies. She wakes, in her own bed, and

does not know she is dead. She then proceeds to go down to the kitchen only to be

ignored. Her family receives a alarming call, and goes to the police station, only to find

out that their beloved daughter is dead. She finds an old friend, that died a while back,

and he helps her. She wishes to seek the one who terminated her existence. The place

that she goes is to earth, yet it is different than the earth mortals know so different that it

is indescribable, by all except the writer, who definitely knows how to write. If I gave

away the ending it would be devastating to those who have not read it. Even when I have

told a short summery of the story, for those who have not read it would be missing a great

book if they neglected to get a hold of it and read it. It is very deeply moving, especially

if it has been read more than once.
