Awesome Dawg
This book was great! I have never read a book about clones because i am not really into the whole Sci-fi thing but this was nothing like what i expected. This is a book you wont want to put down and it keeps you wondering what will happen next. You need to read this book!

Mrs. nacy you did a wonderful job of capturing the readers attention!!- i had ot read this book for a school assignment--and i was like great science fiction. to me science fiction is like space..and other stuff. i was real pleased!!- you did a wonderful job on this. keep up the great work!! :]..[that was a smile].

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Really loved it
if the world was going to end and all books would get burned this wud be the book i id choose to read
Sometimes there are books where you cant help but admire the author's talent, or come so close to the main characters that you feel you've known them forever. I would say that this book is one of the best books i have ever readd and i applaud ms.farmer for the excellant masterpiece and i can only say that the hours i spent reading this book for the first time were amazing and now im rereading my favorite parts and i cant help but keep falling in love with it over and over again. an excellent piece of art

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Danny
Best book I ever read
I'm 15 and I picked this book from the library because my friend told me it was a great book. I was sketchy about it at first. I actually wanted to put down the book altoghether at one point where i felt so bad for the character it was unbearable. But I finish things once I start them so I continued to read and I am so glad I did. I didn't go to school the next day because I was sick, but I couldn't put the book down. I read it none stop untill I was done. I was a bit unsatisfied with the ending though and the fact that the author could've emphasized more on the on going relationship. Still, I read books now and they really don't compare. Great book, here's hoping to a sequel.
