"Christopher Pike Is Scarily Repetitive"
I love this post. I need to remember to trot it out whenever I do a Christopher Pike reread (yes, I plan to do more, I'm just not sure how soon).
Whisper of Death wasn't included, so I figured I'd go through and identify its literary devices myself. The ones I'm sure about:
- Arson
- Dreams
- Illicit sex
- Revenge
- Shootout
- Villain Monologue
And the ones I'm iffy about:
- Faked death (sorta dead, sorta not...)
- Group secret (several people in on the secret, but unaware that others besides themselves knew)
That's only 6 "for sure" literary devices, whereas my long-time favorite Pike book, Remember Me, includes 14. Interesting...
