It is time to play a Wild Card! Every now and then, a book that I have chosen to read is going to pop up as a FIRST Wild Card Tour. Get dealt into the game! (Just click the button!) Wild Card Tours feature an author and his/her book's FIRST chapter!
You never know when I might play a wild card on you!
MY REVIEW:
Clever, clever, clever... that pretty much describes this book. It is part novel, part comic, part graphic novel and totally clever! I read through it in a day and passed it to my 12 year old daughter, Sarah, to have her check it out. She has gotten halfway through it in one day and when I just asked her about it she said, "I'm not finished with it, but it's cool and fun to read." I think that's all I'll get out of her until she's done with it. Personally I think the concept is wonderful, even as an adult I enjoyed it. The story didn't totally engage me, but I will probably get the next ones in the series to see where the chronicles of DoppleGanger will take us. I give this book 4 stars based on sheer cleverness alone!
