I first read this book when I was thirteen years old. I remember shaking while reading it. It was the first book that ever really touched me.
I was a huge fan of Christopher Pike when I was a child. Everything he did was wonderful to me. But of course when you get older the things that were so wonderful when you were young aren't so wonderful anymore.
When I go back and read his books, this is the only one that always has held true to my childish memories of how spectacular it was.
I noticed today I have an extra copy. Right now I am planning on where to release it...
