    Could Not Put This Down

    This novel is huge but definitely worth it..
    Domenic & Thomas are identical twins, except one has schizophrenia. We are introduced to them as adults in 1990 and through flashbacks relive their childhood lives with them. So many issues are addressed in this novel. The family dynamic , sibling rivalry, mental illness, friendship, love, loyalty, the state of the medical system and so much more I cannot even describe.
    The characters are very interesting, bringing many sidelines to an already captivating story.This is extremely well written and will hold you hostage from the very first line.
    I was not too fond of the ending,those of you that have read it will know everything was tied up too perfectly , but that said I still give it 5 stars .It is still very good,
    If you are going to read one book this year make it this one.

    Could not put it down

    I picked up this book on a whim, and I was really glad that I did. The characters were so well-developed that you could feel whether you liked or hated them as you went along. I thought it was interesting considering that some people expect identical twins to be the same in all aspects of their lives, and yet in this book, they couldn't be more different. I love the way that the author told the story - so rich with detail. I have read this twice but would love to read it again.

From the Critics

"Twice as thoughtful and twice as heart-wrenching as most published this year. An exercise in soul-baring storytelling--with the soul belonging to 20th-century America itself. It's hard to read and to stop reading, and impossible to forget." (USA Today)
