The Chain Letter
One of the books I've read this quarter was The Chain Letter by Christopher Pike. The genre of the book is horror fiction and has 192 suspenseful pages. The book begins with a group of friends who have done something wrong and thought no one knew what happened that past summer expect for them. Later on one of the friends in the group, Fran received an anonymous letter saying that she has to obey as the person commands or else something bad will happen to her and they will leak what happen in the summer. The letter gets passed on to everyone in the group making them doing things that were their weakness; they thought only someone who knew them would know. The whole story is unpredictable as you think something is going to turn out something else is brought into the story. This book has you intrigued the whole entire time. The main character Alison is a dynamic she undergoes many things involving what happening with the anonymous person, the accident in the summer, school, relationships, enemies friends, and makes an impact on her she doesn't stay the same Alison throughout the story. You feel connected to the main character and understand what she feels and what she is going through. All the characters have to live in wonder not knowing if their even able to trust their best friend. The main plot of the book was figuring out who was the mysterious person behind the letter. Who was the one knowing all this information about them and what was their purpose in forcing the friends to do such harsh things? As you go more and more into the book it gets crazier and has a huge twist. I think the book was perfect I wouldn't have changed anything about it. What I liked about the book is that it has great suspense and keeps your mind working the whole entire time. I like how it isn't only focused on the actions of what the letter is telling the characters to do but also how the characters are feeling and who they are as a person. Which makes you in deep thought if it was someone in the group or somebody else that was behind all this chaos. Many different crazy events happen throughout the book involving different people besides the group of friends and it talks about what actually did happen that summer. How there was more to the story than the characters had thought. Sometimes things aren't that obvious as they seem.
I appreciate how in depth you went into how the novel made you feel, and how suspenseful the plot was. The way you divulged into the novel's plot was great, making me curious of the plot twists and turns as well. When you described how complex the characters were, I became interested in what this novel and its character development entails. I'd have to read the book for myself and see how intriguing this book truly is!
