review 1: SPOILER ALERTthis book was an amazing physoclogical thriller about twins living with their bipolar mother. it was pacy and intresting and REALISTIC. the bombshell the author drops at the end makes alot more sense atually than the 2 twins both living. at first there were little bits that didnt add up (like jamie beinng there immediatley after mia met her father). but by the end you realise mia has d.i.d or mpd as it used by be called(mutiple personality disorder). these people can hear sense and often see there alters and can have between 2 and 100s of alters. these alters are a result of a severe childhood truma( abuse, neglet, being sole carrer for sick parent etc) and the alters job is to protect the "host" but they can be angry, suisidle and rash. occasionaly these alte... morers surface and the host often has no idea and "looses time". they end up in places and they can't remember. i hope this helps if your confused
review 2: My thirteen year old daughter insisted I read this before she had to return it to the school library so I did-in under an hour. Once started I couldn't put it down until I had closure-for me it was that kind of book. I enjoyed the fast, pressurised pace and was dying to know the outcome as soon as the story began. I definitely didn't foresee the end and found it shocking. At once sad, moving and triumphant. I guess my only criticism would be that it skirted over some seriously contentious issues without much in depth exploration or explanation. less
