Oh gosh, this was... pretty bad.

Everything I learned about storytelling is apparently wrong because this book has almost no plot, and definitely no resolution. No ending, not even a sad one. I just didn't get it. We are left with only questions, no answers. Some answers you may be able to infer, but with no validation or hint that you are on the right track-what does it matter? What exactly is the point of this story?

If it was to explore what exactly humanity is, it failed at that miserably. I ...more

They're not girls. They're just the same, but different.

Over the past 20 books or so I've tried with great assiduity to accentuate the positive aspects of the titles that GoodReads is so kind to provide.

Despite that typical and abundantly kind consideration my candid feedback resides below.

Over the past 20 books or so I've tried with great assiduity to accentuate the positive aspects of the titles that GoodReads is so kind to provide. Until this most recent submission, that mindset has been fairly easy to adhere to. Even the worst book provides an entertaining diversion if looked at in the proper light. This book isn't really bad per se as much as it just seems to be missing something. Allow me to attempt to illuminate without unintentionally illuminating the actual plot. Or to put it more succinctly and more firmly in the vernacular, let me try to describe this without spoilers.

The nearest and simplest analogy I can draw for this book is to ask you to imagine an episode of the Twilight Zone, but limit yourself to only the middle third of it. "The Different Girl" lacks any real beginning as the reader is called upon to piece together what has come before through anecdote and implication. In general, this isn't a bad way for a book to go because readers love to figure things out as they read, unraveling the Gordian Knot of character history tidbit by tidbit. Unfortunately, the history isn't really all that surprising or unusual. Any fan of Serling or Bradbury or Bova or Asimov has read pretty much this plot already. If this had been written in 1954 it would have been marvelous but sadly we're all much too attuned to this sort of plotline to be at all surprised.

Flipping to the other periphery of the book, it doesn't really have much of a conclusion either. I found myself 10 pages from the end grumbling that things couldn't possibly be concluded satisfactorily in the time left. As it turns out I was right because we didn't actually reach any sort of wry twist. We just sort of.... well, ended. It was disappointing because the book has some real potential. In general, one can be happy with a book without a beginning. One can be happy with a book without an end. But one finds it difficult to enjoy a book which in fact lacks both.

On the positive side, the book is well written enough and does have a certain epistemological feel to it as our protagonists-four explore their world and try to unravel the mystery of their own existence. I (think) I can see where the author wants to go here. How do we learn to live in our world? How do we process divergent and contradictory inputs into some logical whole? How does our humanness shape those interpretations? There’s a great thread of philosophy here if you tease it out enough but it does take some teasing.

In summary, “The Different Girl” is fairly disappointing. I expected something fresh and got something stale and reminiscent of the 50s. Dahlquist’s skill as a writer is not to be doubted but there’s just a bit of something missing to make this into the mainstream. TDG is sure to inspire much thought and conversation but much of that will be somewhat disgruntled.

Four orphaned girls live on an island after their parents died in a plane crash. The girls are identical in every way with the exception of their hair color: Veronika has red hair, Isobel is blonde, Caroline is a brunette and Eleanor has black hair.

Four orphaned girls live on an island after their parents died in a plane crash. The girls are identical in every way with the exception of their hair color: Veronika has red hair, Isobel is blonde, Caroline is a brunette and Eleanor has black hair. They are taught to observe, think, reason, and recognize abstract concepts while remaining obedient and dutiful to Robbert and Irene, their caretakers.

Their idyll and isolated lives are disturbed by Veronika's sudden discovery of another girl, May, who is the lone survivor of a shipwreck. May is different from the other girls in many ways. Her presence and subsequent actions cause Veronika to ask questions she never would otherwise. Though Veronika's behavior is a mild threat to Robbert and Irene's authority and the unity that she shares with the other girls, the real danger to their peaceful existence lurks elsewhere.

I haven't read other reviews for this book, but if I were to hazard a guess as to where some frustrations might lie, I would say it is due to Veronika's narration style. Without giving anything away (though one could easily guess the reason by looking at the cover art and the reason itself is given in the first chapter), Veronika's simplistic and straightforward outlook is that way on purpose. It is likely to annoy those who are expecting richer prose. I, however, found it challenging in a good way; her limited point of view made me appreciate the cognitive abilities that I have long taken for granted.

Also, don't expect mindblowing world building in this book. There is only one real place, the island, and there are a handful of locations that the four girls are allowed to go: the dock, the beach, the woods, and the cliffs. There are two buildings, which are a residence and a classroom. While this is only the girls' immediate environment, there are opposing factions described later in the story that will help the reader envision the true state of the outside world.

Though the ending was satisfactory, ultimately I was unhappy with the questions left unanswered. Why does Caroline sometimes dream and the other girls can't? What do the girls really look like? I'm guessing their appearance is left a mystery so the reader can fill in the blanks him/herself. Not that my imagination is lacking, but I suppose I wanted a bit more detail.

While the book falls short of excellent I would still recommend this for people who are looking for a stand-alone novel (gasp! It feels like everything is a trilogy or series nowadays) that is easy to read and doesn't require much emotional involvement. It is also good for those who are thinking of getting into sci-fi or even dystopia but don't want to be overwhelmed by unfamiliar worlds. ...more

Every so often a book comes along that you struggle to get through. Unfortunately, this was one of thise for me for a few different reasons. I was tempted along the way to just DNF it, but only chose to stick with it because there was a lot hidden from readers that I wanted to see revealed and explained.

Unfortunately, this was one of thise for me for a few different reasons.

Needless to say I was not impressed when much of it stayed hidden and I felt like I stuck with the book for no reason.

This book really went wrong in two areas for me. First of all, I found it dull. The four identical girls were so similar (identical is right) in every way that I barely remembered their names upon closing the book (good thing they're in the blurb). Because of the nature of the girls, there isn't much to separate them from one another. They have no real personality or character traits besides a small sense of curiosity that is easily pushed aside in favour of following their schedule and rules. Even worse, they didn't really DO anything. The majority of the novel was spent with them going about their routine, day after day. Even when May, the mysterious arrival promised in the blurb, shows up, they simply try their best to integrate her into their routine and are baffled when she struggles. It was very dull and I didn't really understand the point of the story.

This leads me to my second issue with the novel: it made me feel dumb. I felt like because I found it so boring and uninspiring, I was probably missing something important that was making some philosophical point about life or people or something. It really felt like there was supposed to be a point or a message to the monotonous story, but I just wasn't seeing it. I like to think I am not a dumb person, and it's not very often that books make me feel that way, so this one just really rubbed me the wrong way in that sense.

Honestly, this was just not the book for me. I struggled with the repetitive and slow plot and the almost indistinguishable characters, and was left frustrated by an ending that gives you nothing.

This book was wonderful enough that I stayed up far, far past my bedtime last night so I could finish reading it.

I love that this story is told from the point of view of one of four identical girls. Veronika's journey is one of discovery--of who and what she is and where she and her sisters came from. Ultimately, this is a coming-of-age story, but it's complicated when you're a humanoid robot.

With May's coming, Veronika realizes just how different she and the other girls are, and how dangerous the outside world can be.

This was...whoa. There is no way to talk about this without lots of spoilers, so just be aware that there are lots of spoilers.

It doesn't take very long to figure out that Veronika, Caroline, Isobel and Eleanor are not quite...normal. They are not regular girls. Their attention to detail is so focused. The questions that Irene and Robbert ask them are so specific. They take "naps," which seem to happen whenever Irene and Isobel and Robbert need to attend to other things. They don't eat.

What was interesting about the framing of the book is that as the reader, you never know more than Veronika does. Ever. Not even at the end. It is completely through Veronika's perspective, which is, of course, a very analytical one, devoid of unnecessary emotion. The term "robot" is never used. Neither is "artificial intelligence" or anything like that. It's not clear if Veronika is completely mechanical. I think so? We don't know how the girls were made, because Veronika does not know. We don't know how they function, because Veronika doesn't know. It was frustrating at times, not knowing. I wished for an omnipotent narrator who could answer my questions, but I never got one, and a lot of my questions didn't get answered at all.

The pace of the book is very slow. Veronika and the other girl's lives revolve around observing and telling others what they have observed. And that's what much of the book is. May shows up, and is frustrated with the slow pace of life. She doesn't have the patience to sit and observe and then explain in detail what she's seen for hours. The plot very, very slowly unfolds, and while there is a dramatic, and in many ways, unsatisfying conclusion, even that part felt slow, deliberate, like the lives of the girls.

Toward the end, Veronika is able to learn more about where she came from than she ever has known before, but even that information is sketchy and full of holes. And by the end of the book, there is no one to ask, and the girls must figure out how to carry on and care for themselves. And then it ends.

In many ways, totally unsatisfying. In other ways, totally fascinating. Give it to your kids who like to think about things and ponder life's many questions. ...more

Problems are meant to be solved, questions are meant to be answered and differences are made to be fixed, though what if some differences can’t be controlled? The book The Different Girl written by Gordon Dahlquist has built in many questionable factors which make the reader think differently. I have never been a big believer in science fiction novels but there are many people who are and would love this book.

The narrator Veronica lives on an island with her three sisters (Caroline, Isobel and Problems are meant to be solved, questions are meant to be answered and differences are made to be fixed, though what if some differences can’t be controlled? The book The Different Girl written by Gordon Dahlquist has built in many questionable factors which make the reader think differently. I have never been a big believer in science fiction novels but there are many people who are and would love this book.

The narrator Veronica lives on an island with her three sisters (Caroline, Isobel and Eleanor) along with their two caretakers, Irene and Robert. Once a day all four girls are sent to go on walks with the obligation to observe their surroundings while learning to think clearer and more in-depth. One day Veronica finds a strange shape hidden in the grass, and it turns out to be a human girl who washed up on shore during a storm, her name is May. At first, May was terrified of Veronica and her three sisters and was even afraid to look them in the eye. Though as the book progresses May’s true self is exposed as a hot-tempered, enthusiastic person that makes the girls question everything they are told by their caretakers on this island.

The author Gordon Dahlquist wrote this book with many questions and difficulties to be left unanswered, one of them being humanity. Out of the four Caroline and Veronica have acquired some human qualities that make them different from Isobel and Eleanor, though they are being taught to be one and think as one. Since they almost have the same physical appearance with only their hair color dividing them this task seems easy enough, right?
I do have to say there were some moments in this book when my heart started to race, though overall I didn’t really like the story. For me, the book was somewhat slow pace and I didn’t fully understand what the writer wanted to say at some parts. I figure that Gordon wanted to give the reader a story about differences of humanity and personality but for me, it was weird and confusing. The narrator Veronika “spoke” slowly and she didn’t understand many of the things May was trying to say, so there wasn’t a deep connection between the two - which I was hoping there was going to be. While I was reading there were too many things going on so I couldn’t understand the full meaning of the book.

Gordon Dahlquist is a good writer and he has written other amazing books in the past. I believe that this is a good book for someone who loves science and technology, but for those who love a good mystery or a thrilling fantasy, this will not be the book for you.
