review 1: Replication makes cloning sound real. Riveting characters grabbed me from the start and never let me go with romance, suspense, and exotic settings. Even the bad guys felt real. I will absolutely read another Williamson title.The faith aspect of the story was organic and flowed naturally from the characters. Regardless of one’s religious beliefs, Replication stands on its own. 5 Stars
review 2: So, what happens when an author noted for her fantasy novels attempts to cross into the realm of science fiction? In the case of “Replication,” what happens is a fairly solid story. I thought the premise was great, and different enough from other tales with similar premises—the film “The Island,” for instance—that it felt unique. Worthy of telling.The chara... morecters of Marty and Abby were well drawn, and for me kept the page turning. I wanted to know what would happen to them. (Tis a strength in Jill’s other books too—great main characters.) There were a few of the side characters that seemed to disappear in the end, but that didn’t hinder the story as a whole. I also wondered whether one of the main characters’ decisions was in character or not. But given the truly foreign nature of the situations, who really knows?The dialog was good, and the spiritual aspect added a new flavor to the clone discussion. It raises some seriously interesting questions. Can we say that a clone was created by God, even though he is born in an unusual way? I really liked Marty’s viewpoint. It felt genuine to me. I almost wish the author had gone even further, explored more of the questions this issue raises. Interesting stuff. Perhaps in a sequel? Replication is a solid and compelling young adult novel that older readers will find enjoyable, as well. I recommend it. less
