Slumber Party by Christopher Pike
3.5
3.5 stars rounded down. I didn't dislike this read. It just felt like a typical old school Point Horror book. Usually, I go into those reads knowing what to expect: simplicity, nostalgia, boy drama, clichés, and so on. Overall, I mostly enjoy these books for what they are: nostalgic, quick and easy reads.
However, I actually went into Slumber Party with a little higher of an expectation because of who wrote it: Christopher Pike. I recently read his book Monster, and I was blown away by the story. Slumber party was definitely not as good as that book. However, there are a few reasons for that. One reason is that Slumber Party was one of his earliest works, and I assume that another reason is because Pike may have been forced to stick to a certain formula when writing for Scholastic.
I read this book for my YouTube channel book club, The Midnight Book Society. We had a very fun and in depth live stream discussion on it. To check out the stream (which featured multiple opinions and points-of-view on this book), here's the link: https://youtu.be/yeK_g5kWtoA
