From the Bookshelf of Baltimore County Public Library Summer Reading BCPL SRC …

[close] Although this book was written for a teen audience and perhaps better suited to them than to an adult reader, I enjoyed it anyway. I was surprised to see the wide range of opinions of the book in my Goodreads KUYH book club, especially since various readers seemed to like or dislike the book for some of the same reasons. The author definitely had a unique writing style which may have appealed more to some than others, but I felt the techniques she used fit both the plot and the characters well. Her descriptive writing and unusual imagery suited her imaginative, creative characters (although Noah's waiting titles got on my nerves at times). The only problem I had with the book was following the storyline at first because the characters told their side of the story at different ages during rather long chapters. By the time the book got back to telling one or the other of the twin's stories, I'd forgotten what was said previously at first.
