Doppelganger Experiment
by
Margaret A. Millmore (Goodreads Author)
Jane woke up to find several things wrong; she was in a hospital, she'd been in a coma for over four weeks, it wasn't 2007 like she last remembered, it was 2010, and she was married to a man she didn't know. Dreams of a mysterious green building infiltrate her sleep, but are they just dreams or are they memories? As she struggles to recapture a life she doesn't remember sh...more

This book was very interesting and fresh. It's not normally the sort of book I would read, but I'm glad I found this author.
Doppelganger Experiment is well written. I know this author took the story back to the drawing bored after a hic-up in editing. Well, I didn't read the first editing, but this one reads pretty damn fine to me.

I have to admit that I love a good thriller, and this one had just enough psychological suspense to keep me up long into the night to finish the book. I couldn’t put it down. When Jane wakes up in the hospital, she’s lost four years of her life. From that moment, she’s faced with returning memories and mysteries, and she finds that not everyone in her life is who they seem to be. Ms. Millmore very skillfully places enough doubt and hope around her characters to keep you guessing up to the end, a...more
Doppelganger Experiment
Author: Margaret Millmore
Waking up in the hospital after being in a coma for four weeks would frighten anyone and make you wonder where the time went and what happened. But, when Jane wakes up all that is familiar to her is her first name and when addressed by the last name Knox by the hospital staff she is unsure of whom they are speaking to. How did she get this Traumatic Brain Injury and why did she think it was 2007 and not 2010? How did Jane lose three years of her li...more

Jane Knox wakes after a month long coma suffering from substantial memory loss. She didn't lose a few weeks, she lost years. In her mind, it's 2007. In reality, it's five years later. Not only has she forgotten her ex-boyfriend, Aaron, she's forgotten her husband, Michael. The only two people who are familiar are her college friends, Kira and Brett.
Fairly soon, she realizes things aren't what they seem. A disturbing scenario unfolds. Someone has been mind wiping certain individuals – apparently...more

I finished “The Doppelganger Experiment” by Margaret Millmore recently, and thoroughly enjoyed this book. Told in first-person, it chronicles the story of a young woman named Jane, who awakens after an accident to find her life changed; a husband she didn’t know, former friends that over time weren’t the same, and gradually finds out an ugly truth that uncovers nothing is what it seems. With Orwellian undertones, this is an entertaining read with a gradual, steady, pull on the intrigue that is e...more

Margaret Millmore, author of Doppelganger Experiment, has ventured into the world of thrillers and given it a kick in the pants. Are the ideas expressed in this novel possible? Could they be happening now, in our time, with no one being the wiser? There are few of us who haven’t been told at one time or another that someone saw our ‘double’, also known as a doppelgänger. As I was reading this novel I couldn’t help but think of The Matrix (movie) and how this story could be a prequel to the movie...more
This is a great story, very imaginative and well-paced, but sorely in need of an editor. There are many instances where the author uses the wrong word (waived instead of waved, too instead of to, balled instead of bawled), misplaces commas, and writes run-on sentences. Ms. Millmore, find yourself an editor and you'll go far. I hope to see another good yarn from you soon.
Could this really happen? I was captured by this intriguing story. The author has created an extremely believable scenario that toys with the imagination. Psychological manipulation is a fearful war tactic, one I sincerely hope never comes true. I loved Jane's point of view, her fears and that nagging knowledge that things are not what they seem that sends her in search of the truth. The science behind this story is frighting. If we could control the mind, erase undesired memories and create a n...more
Would have given the book 5 stars if not for the grammatical errors and for the open ended finale. I was left with unresolved questions that only a sequel can answer.
Kindle Version:
Meh, couldn't keep my interest.

A real page turner. Thoroughly enjoyable.

This book is going to do awesome this year!
Loved this book. Couldn't put it down.
Margaret Millmore has created a fast-moving thriller which kept me interested all the way through. I did spot the "baddie" half way through, but that in no way detracted from my enjoyment of the plot. The tension was there from the very first chapter and well maintained throughout.
I guessed who Michael was also, but the twists and turns to the finale were well worked and kept me reading.
An excellent first novel, I will read more of this author's work when it is published.

Not that good not even sure I am going to finish it, I am 30/40% finished and we haven't even got to the Doppelganger yet. Gerrrrr
This is a pretty good book. The characters are a bit thin, but the plot is good and the story moves right along. I found myself trying to get in one more chapter before I turned out the light, which is always a good sign.
