Twins

Summary: Could've been better
Review: I thought 'Twins' was a boring book compared to her other suspensful novels. It seemed to be no different than any other horror novel, it could've been better, or I think so any way.

Summary: Twins, by Caroline Cooney
Review: I thought this book was one of the lamest books I've ever read. It has a good beginning, but its all downhill from there. I think that it is very unrealistic that you wouldn't be able to tell teen-aged twins apart. They talk different, act different and do many other things different. Plus, twins, from the ones that I know, spend a lot of time together, and one of the twins would know if the other twin had a whacked out boyfriend. I thought that part was very strange. I also thought that the ending was very dissapointing. I think that younger teens might like this maybe between the ages of 10-13, but if you're older than that I suggest you don't read it. Its a waste of time!!!

Summary: WELL.................
Review: i totally love caroline b. cooney. i have read quite a few of her books. i read about twins on the internet but i made the mistake of not reading any reviews. i bought it. at first i was thinking, hey this is going to be a great book. then i started reading it. the beginning started out okay. it made sense and i could see that there was ways for it to get better but caroline b. cooney made it worse. i know i know. some people love this book and they are thinking, what's wrong with you? well, it isnt' horrible but there are definitely better books. it is just weird. it isn't very realistic. the guy that she likes and dates is evil!! truly evil. i dont' see how anyone could be like that. the plot wasn't very good. where would caroline b. cooney ever get the idea for such a thing. take my advice and don't buy it. it is good enough to take the time to read but not to spend your money on. it is basically stupid. i like all of caroline b. cooney's other books but this one was just messed up. try reading these: Wanted!, Hush little baby, Flight Number 116 is down, fatality, and those.

Summary: I expected better
Review: I was unpleasantly surprised by this book. Because I am a big fan of Conney's work, I expected much better than this. Although Cooney has proven many times that she has the ability to get inside of teenagers minds and portray them amazingly realistically, "Twins" sounds nothing like sixteen-year-olds at all. The characters didn't talk, act, or think like actual teens.

Furthermore, "Twins" was a revoltingly typical horror story. Good versus Bad, Bad is killed, Good prevails. There are no plot twists, nothing that seperates this book from any of the other horror books in the world.

I was disappointed in Caroline Cooney for presenting such an inacurate and typical story. While I would reccommend many of her books, I would advise you against reading this one.

Summary: It was good
Review: It was a good story, but the thing that really bothered me was that the book didn't say anything romantic about Mary Lee and Van in the end. Something like a kiss, Ms. Cooney should of wrote something about that but she ended it by saying I am proud of being Mary Lee.

Summary: It was pretty good
Review: It was ok but not great. You know what I mean? I mean don't get me wrong it was a pretty good book, but I think Cooney needed alot more infromation to make the book compelling. I loved her "The Face On The Milk Carton" and "Whatever Happened To Janie" because she got so intouch with the characters. If she would just have explained a little bit more of the character "Mary Lee" instead of what Mary Lee's view of her sister the book would have been alot better. Also if she didn't wright so much about boarding school that would also have been an improvment. This is what I beleve and if others feel different about it thats ok because a book is like art work it is only great to those who like it.
