After the death of his mother, Wade Jackson is torn: stay in school or quit to become a dive singer. His problem? He "just couldn't choose." The result? A split in his consciousness.
This story is told in alternating parts, with each following one Wade as he continues along his chosen path. When these paths begin to collide... the story gets pretty interesting.
Overall, I enjoyed this book. Surprisingly, I couldn't put it down and finished it in one sitting. The q More...

Wade Jackson is living a double life. One Wade is the definition of tense.

This is a weird book, I liked it, it was a fast paced kept me guessing read. It is told by a two charter point of view, but both characters are Wade.
One day in Wade's life changes everything. On the day of his mom's death the first stranglet is made- then his two sides split. His life is parallel in both worlds, one a hard working, over stressed Wade; and a laid back, don't give a rats ass Wade.

Split by Stefan Petrucha is just one of the many great (or what seem to be great) books coming out today and the one I've been lucky enough to read already. Split is described as 'Sliding Doors meets Fight Club' and the description seems incredibly apt. Main character Wade Jackson feels torn between his love of guitar playing and writing music and his need to be the perfect student.

The death of his mother sends teenage Wade over the edge and we see his life from two personalities - the studious teen and the daring death at each turn musician. A heartbreaking look at what grief can do to the psyche.

COnsidering how good the cover and the summary is , the story disappointed me. I didn't get it..60 pages down the book and I am still confused about the world where the story took place. Lastly, I want to kill Wade for how he treated his girlfriend.

I found that the redundancies in the narration detract from any hope of enjoying the plot--which was melodramatic at best.
