This is one of the most poetic science-fiction romances I've ever read. I loved the language, the seductive beauty of it! It's a gamut of emotions tinged with the truly surreal and bizarre and has stuck with me for years... especially the thing about the full moon.... But I won't spoil it for you: you'll have to read it through to see what I mean. The ending, for me, was a real surprise.

When he wrote this book, he wrote a masterpiece!!! This was a book that I read over and over. Its a story of a boy and his first love with a evil obstacle in the way. A book with characters you will love and never forget. When you read this book, you will not forget it. You will want to go back read it again , and with a title that makes you think of it each time you tell someone , " See You Later!".

The story can get confusing but once you've read the book through, you'll understand why some things happened in the book. A very gripping story, full of computer science, Science-fiction & romance. A must-read for all pike fans & non-pike fans.

A review by Amy
The book starts off in a love story sort of thing. Mark is crazy about this one girl, Becky. However Becky already has a boyfriend. Mark wants to do anything he can do to get her. Becky works at a computer store, which Mark visits often because his games he makes are for sale there. One day a strange person approaches Mark about his games. His name was Vincent, who also works computer games. He wanted help from Mark on his computer games. Vincent's girlfriend, Kara is interested in helping mark get Becky. She comes up with a plan about doing that. From that point on, the problems start to occur.

The characters that Christopher Pike created were very interesting. He had the shy boy who wanted the girl. Then the more suspicious guy, who wanted help. Then the nice, sweet girl, who didn't want trouble. Then of course, the suspicious girl, who always wanted to cause trouble. The author uses language, which is a bit confusing. He firsts starts off with the characters, and then quickly starts talking about the other characters. You have to be very involved to understand the story and to know what it is about. The author jumps from one thing to another.

I would only recommend this book to someone that gets very involved in books and can focus and understand confusing books. However if it is not that easy for you to understand a confusing book, that jumps from on thing to another; you shouldn't read it. I rate this book with 2 stars because it was good at the beginning then towards the middle it became unclear what was going on.

excellent book. wonderful book that has a mixture of science fiction and love. if you are reading this review, i beg you to read this book. when you read it give it at least 8 chapters. this is definitely one of Pike's best and a must to read.

A Review by Carol
Mark has just graduated from high school and met a girl named Becky. Mark fell in love with Becky but she was dating Ray. Becky and Mark become pretty good friends. Mark meets a couple, Vincent and Kara. They all become good friends quickly. Kara is obsessed with trying to break up Ray and Becky. Things begin to get weird with everybody, and a strange guy shows up.

The ending is totally unexpected. I would say my favorite character is Mark, is role is so realistic and he just seems like an average guy. Some aren't very believable though. This book wasn't really any interest to me. The moods in this story change around a lot. There are lots of lessons of love in the book. There weren't any complicated sentences to read or anything. It was easy to follow the story until the end. The end just confused me. The conflicts in this book are not real at all. The climax occurs about halfway through the book. I think if the book would have been any shorter it wouldn't have given you enough information, it's just the right length to read. Sometimes when the scenes are changed it's confusing and I don't understand them. But, the author does describe things okay. The only thing that sort of disappointed me was the ending and some description settings.

I would only recommend this book to people who enjoy mystery and stories that have to do with aliens and space. It's an average book to read but, some settings are confusing. I didn't enjoy this book but, others

Christopher Pike is not my FPA (Frequently Picked Author). Whenever I browsed in our local bookstore, I have to think twice or even thrice whether to buy a title of his book or not (the only writer that i cannot resist is Stephen King though)

But having read the novel See You Later...I was astounded. God! He is even better than King is. Uhhhh...Booo!! I hear you scream...I will not argue much with you but I'm sure all of those who have read Pike's novel will agree with me that he is the Stephen King of YA Horror.

but this novel is not horror. It cannot be classified into any kind of genre. This is an out of the space genre. Although some spot of sci-fi, horror, fantasy and romance can be found in this book.

I don't want to spoil the suspense for you. But one thing, the beginning could be boring for you but getting in the middle...you will never want to put the book down...

In this book, Mark fell in love with a girl named Becky. But was heartbroken when he learned that she is going out with someone else. Then Mark meets a young couple: Vincent and Kara... Kara is strangely obsessed in getting Vincent and Becky together...she succeeded. But then terrible things begin to happen...that affects the entire future of our world...that only love can solve...oh hell tried to explain...but i can't

Oh my God! just read it! read it I beg you and you will love the author and will be hooked forever...I think this is the author's masterpiece so that he can say to you "See You Later" to read his other novels...

See You Later is a wonderful wistful tale that essentially poses the question "what if?". I loved it when I was younger and I love it even more now. I adore the nonviolent theme related to the video game and the character of Vincent. A beautiful love story for any age...

I have just finished reading this book, and it kept me reading this book no matter where I went. The suspense kept me stuck to the book. Probably the best book of the century! No author can equal the way Christopher Pike writes!

Not only is this Pike's best book, but it is also my favorite novel of all time. From the opening page, I feel that I can relate to Mark as much as I can relate to myself. Few books can be described as being beautiful but this book really can! I'm currently reading it for the 5th time. If you only read one Pike book, read this one. It is is perfect for fans of every genre imaginable. Now, if only someone would produce a movie of this book...
