Double Identity

I loved the book, though it is sometimes a little bit slow. the story and questions are so thrilling, it made me love the class i'm reading in it twice as good, knowing we will get to read it.

I was really disappointed in this book. The first two-thirds of the book were insanely slow and then the last third felt like the author was rushing to finish the story.

The book Double Identity by Haddix, is not your usualy book. I really hate cliche books and this book is definately far from it. It is about a girl with extremely overprotective and clingy parents. She has never been apart from them. But things suddenly start to change when all of a sudden whenever her mother looks at here she statrts sobbing uncontrolobly. And to make matters worse out of nowhere Bethany's parents decide to place her under the care of an aunt she has never heard of. So many questions start forming in her mind; and more questions start to form when she gets a strange phone call from her mother instead of calling her Bethany she calls her Elizabeth. She acts her aunt many of these questions and only gets one answer. 13 years ago from that one week from that day is the day Bethany's long lost sister Elizebeth died in a car crash.

This book is one of the most interestiong books I have ever read and i reccomend it to anybody.
