Christopher Pike

Christoper Pike is a good writer for young adult books. I think that the format of the story made it very easy to read and understand. Sometimes when I read that book I felt my heart is racing because I feel so involved and suspense.

The story also very authentic where it really reflects the American young adult real-life. The language is contemporary and simple where it uses the kinds of language, which is usually being heard in movie. From the books I got the knowledge about other cultures and norms, as well as how the young adult view the world.

The characters have flows like a normal person. I believe that such book can help young adult to grow in and understanding other cultures better. In teaching young adult, this kind of book can help the young adult to make sense out of the world as well as establish a communication between the imagination of the reader and what the writer is trying to show in the book. But his books requires a lot of imagination and I usually ask myself ‘is this story true?’ or ‘is it really human meant to be eaten by other human?’. But ‘Weekend’ and ‘Chain Letter’ are among his books I like very much
