how fucked up is this novel!?

I read the 'updated' version and I have to say that, other than a few typos, this one felt like it had less updating in terms of mentioning of cell phones and what not than the first book. The dialog was definitely overhauled in both books because it just didn't feel like a Christopher Pike book. I enjoyed in anyway and I do have one more Pike trilogy that is 'updated' that I plan to read.

The story expanded on the first and frequent mention was made back to the first book. I liked where it went. I would have liked the batshit crazy to have started sooner but it felt fresh as far as YA slasher books from the 1980's go. The ending was a bit sappy, but that's Pike for you. ( )

It was good. ( )
