Summary: One of my favorites
Comment: This has always been a personal favorite of mine when I look at Christopher Pikes work. Maybe it's the setting, Greece (awesome place, I stayed on one of the islands near Mykonos) or maybe it is how clearly and conchisely the story is told before it reaches it's conclusion. It all ties together at the end.
The story is told from the point of view of Josie "Goodwin" (does that tip you off that she's the heroine?), a blond babe from LA with an attitude and a knack for helping her dad with his stories. (Her dad is a screenwriter). She is on a trip to Greece with her father, her friend Helen Demeter, and her dad's much younger girlfriend from Beverly Hills named "Silk". Josie hates her.
The basic tone of this book is fun, although it does get serious later on. There is nothing in it that made me cringe and have nightmares when I read it at age 12, a long time ago. It's a pretty sweet story, and it portrays a thought provoking,modern Olympus. I used to love to read Greek mythology and he does a wonderful job capturing the flavor and folklore of the stories.
It feels like something that he put a lot of thought into, and being a good storyteller, he really shines in this story. I think he must have gone to Greece and liked it. You and me both, Mr. Pike.

Summary: Great plot, great characters!
Comment: I read this book years ago, and I still remember it. I just got my own copy, and glad i did!. It is a great page turner, you won't be able to put it down! Pike is always famous for making his characters do the unexpected..you never who the real culprits are, so to speak. I also liked the greek mythology tie in, it was really creative. I always like how Pike's endings are written, but this book is one of the ones that really take the cake.
