A review by librariann
Red Dice by Christopher Pike
(violence, violence, though no overt sex or language)
So the story is that I loved these books in high school (I had to check the copyright dates to assert that, yes, it was indeed high school that I read these - I hadn't really abandoned all teen lit to the sci-fi section and homoerotic bildungsromans) and found volumes 2-5 for a quarter apiece at the Brown Elephant, the A-ville thrift store. They are as adventure packed as I remembered, although ridiculously implausible and filled with deus ex machina. Even more filled with religious undertones than I remembered - hell, they're overtones! No wonder I decided to minor in religion in college.
