Rezension von CarinaSo Replica. This was an experience. First of all I started off reading Gemmas chapter first and then switching between Chapters to Lyra. I think it's the only way it makes actually sense, because I could imagine otherwise the story would feel onesided on the one hand and boring on the other. <br/>Like many before I felt that Lyra's side was not as well developed as Gemma's, but I think it improved in later chapters. I actually liked all the characters, though I thought that 72 was a bit weird at first. <br/>I am always a sucker for clone stories so I had high hopes for this and I liked the story, but it was different than expected. In some way I expected something like "Never Let me go", but it seemed lighter, not the story itself, but the writing. It was no literal masterpiece, but easy to read. <br/>The worst thing was, seeing my booksmarks getting closer to each other and realizing that I won't get a conclusion in this book and that there has t be a second.<br/>Now I am kind of wondering how long that second book will be, seeing how much happened in this book. I fear it might not deliver as much. I can't imagine what else could happen. But I guess we'll have to see.<br/>I actually really really liked Gemma because I could relate to her on so many levels aka not feeling normal, feeling bad for being chubby and and and... I am now super eager to see how her relationship with her parents will evolve.<br/>Overall a very entertaining and fast read, despite it's length.
