Science Fiction. Science Fiction & Fantasy. Young Adult Fiction. Young Adult Literature. HTML: Two girls, two stories, one epic novel. From Lauren Oliver, New York Times bestselling author of Before I Fall and the Delirium trilogy, comes an epic, masterful novel that explores issues of individuality, identity, and humanity. Replica contains two narratives in one: Lyra's story and Gemma's story. The stories can be read separately, one after the other, or in alternating chapters. The two distinct parts of this astonishing novel combine to produce an unforgettable journey. Lyra's story begins in the Haven Institute, a building tucked away on a private island off the coast of Florida that from a distance looks serene and even beautiful. But up close the locked doors, military guards, and biohazard suits tell a different story. In truth, Haven is a clandestine research facility where thousands of replicas, or human models, are born, raised, and observed. When a surprise attack is launched on Haven, two of its young experimental subjects�??Lyra, or 24, and the boy known only as 72�??manage to escape. Gemma has been in and out of hospitals for as long as she can remember. A lonely teen, her life is circumscribed by home, school, and her best friend, April. But after she is nearly abducted by a stranger claiming to know her, Gemma starts to investigate her family's past and discovers her father's mysterious connection to the secretive Haven research facility. Hungry for answers, she travels to Florida, only to stumble upon two replicas and a completely new set of questions. While the stories of Lyra and Gemma mirror each other, each contains breathtaking revelations critically important to the other story. Using a downloadable enhancement, readers can decide how they would like to read the audiobook, as with the print version. They can read the story of Gemma or Lyra straight through first, followed by the other girl's story, or they can move between chapters in Lyra's and Gemma's sections. No matter how it is read, Replica is an ambitious, thought-provoking masterwork… (altro)

I loved the formate of this story. I was equally invested in both sides of the story. I think i enjoyed this story so much because of how I read it, one chapter from each side. I really loved the whole cast of characters and hope in the next book (final book) we delve into the main characters as tad more. I loved the world building in this novel and also how it was so hard to predict the twists. It was a very fast pace story but so heartbreaking at points. I hope to read book 2 soon. It was the first lauren silver book that made me want to come back to the world and i hope to try out more of her other books in the future. (

Replica/Lauren Oliver I keep having such high hopes for Oliver's books. Before I Fall is one of my top five books of all time, but nothing else she's written has compared. Conceptually, I always get really excited, but Replica too fell flat of my expectations.

I'd definitely recommend reading this in alternating chapters. Otherwise, I don't really see the point of reading whoever's story you read second. I'm incredibly indecisive so I decided to read them in alternating chapters and I'm glad I did--there weren't spoilers, persay, but you know what's going to happen.

I really love the premise of having the same story from two different viewpoints...but I just don't think it was necessary here. I love the idea Oliver was going for, that people view events in extremely different ways, but I found a lot of the repeated scenes felt a little redundant. (Maybe they wouldn't have if I'd read them one at a time?)

This nonetheless was a solid read and I enjoyed the mystery behind the clones, though I found it a little hard to buy.

Once again, a great premise from Lauren Oliver that didn't meet my hopes. (

Teen-YA level. I enjoyed this book! It was presented so differently, two stories in one, but with a twist (of the wrists) to read each. One story was from Lyra's perspective, then flip the entire book over and you get Gemma's story. The interesting thing is that, of course they are going to connect, but you don't know when or where. You, as the reader, get to decide when to flip. I read about that situation a bit before starting the book and found that some people read it traditionally, one girl's story first all the way through, then flipped to the other. Some people flipped with each chapter. I started with Lyra until it felt right, or a little confusing perhaps, before flipping. I preferred Lyra's story, so tended to stick with her longer. Some reviewers complained about the suddenness of the relationship with a boy for each girl, but I didn't find it sudden or unthinkable at all. I liked how their two perspectives filled in some missing information to each other's story. I thought it was well written and am looking forward to the next book in the series! (

Interesting look at cloning and human experimentation from the perspective of two girls—one who has grown up in a lab as a human guinea pig, and another whose father is responsible for the experiments, and who is trying to figure out what exactly her connection is to the Haven Institute. Really good emotional exploration.

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader.
