4.0 out of 5 stars A good story with some history intertwined, May 27 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: The Immortal (Mass Market Paperback)

I have to admit at first I didn't think it was going to be that good but I trust Pike with his writing since I have read quite a few of his books. So when I piked up the immortal it looked kind of strange but turned out to be great! It was a story around the greek gods mostly and you have to read it for yourself

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.
