I liked the idea of two stories completing each other, but this could have been better.

**Don't forget to buy the new novel, BROKEN THINGS, now!**
LYRA
The Haven Institute - tucked away on a private island, it looks serene, even beautiful. But up close you'll notice the locked doors. The guards. The biohazard suits. A clandestine research facility where thousands of replicas - human models - are born, raised and observed, Haven is a prison. A prison from which Lyra and a boy known only as 72 manage to escape.
GEMMA
In and out of hospitals for as long as she can remember, Gemma's teenage years have been lonely and a little dull. But after she is nearly abducted by a stranger claiming to know her, Gemma starts to investigate her family past, discovering mysterious links to the secretive Haven research facility. Gemma leaves home hungry for answers, only to stumble upon two replicas and a completely new set of questions
When Lyra and Gemma meet each other on the outside world they join together in a mission to discover the truth about Haven, uncovering earth-shattering secrets that will change lives forever. . . .
Praise for Lauren Oliver
'Electric, heartbreaking, pulse-pounding, and timely, REPLICA is a riveting two-for-one. Two complex heroines, two puzzling mysteries, two weaving adventures, all in one astounding novel' Victoria Aveyard, bestselling author of Red Queen
'Alarming and uplifting, a rare psychological thriller that has a kind heart at its centre. Read it with all the lights on' E. Lockhart, bestselling author of We Were Liars
'A tense, clever psychological thriller, with a devastating denouement that will make you want to start the book all over again' Daily Mail
'Brilliantly written, gritty, deep and compassionate. I couldn't give it a higher recommendation!' Guardian
'Lauren Oliver is the rising star of young adult fiction' The Times
'A searing pair of intertwined stories about the line between science and humanity, told with Oliver's signature grace, uniqueness, and precision. It's a new story every way you turn it - but always gorgeous, always haunting' Marie Lu, author of The Young Elites and Legend

3.03,5* Guter Schreibstil, interessante Story, alles in allem ein ziemlich gutes Buch. Ich fand gut, dass wir hier mit Gemma eine übergewichtige Protagonistin haben. Allerdings hätte sich Lauren Oliver klischeehafte Kommentare wie "Es war das erste Mal in ihrem Leben, dass sie keinen Hunger verspürte.", "Nach zwei Schritten war sie außer Atem." sparen können. Generell lässt sie Gemma oft so dastehen, als würde sie jedes Mädchen, das hübscher ist als sie, hassen. Hätte nicht sein müssen. Lyra und 72 waren mir tatsächlich ziemlich egal, leider konnte ich keine wirkliche Bindung zu ihnen aufbauen. Auch April und Jake waren mehr unsympathisch, als alles andere. Einzig allein Gemma und Pete konnte mich wirklich überzeugen.
