Description
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. Turn the book one way and read Lyra’s story; turn the book over and upside down and read Gemma’s story. The two distinct parts of this novel combine to produce an unforgettable experience for its two young heroines—and its reader.

3,5* 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.
