- Another fabulous write
I was very excited to finally read this book. I had waited nearly 6 months to see this book on the book on the shelves. When i got home, I had nearly read half before going to sleep. Ellen did a wonderful job with explaining the characters thoroughly and giving the book an amazing ending. It came as a huge shock to me, and it was definitely an awesome plot line. I recommend this book to teenagers simply because it does an awesome job of addressing issues facing teens today.

- Raw book
Identical, by Ellen Hopkins in my opinion is a very raw audio book that is read very deepy real and well by Laura Flanagan. I found the words very distrubing for a young reader. I think it should not be read by a person under 18. This novel is compelling and very interesting, the way the author wove the words to describe a deeply flawed family.
I think the author was showing something in our social stucture that is contray to our outword beliefs and our actual actions behind closed doors. ... Read More

- Beautifully written and dark, but also slow: for Ellen Hopkins fans only
Ellen Hopkins created a stir in books for teens with her shocking, free-verse books, "Crank" and "Glass," which are about a teenage girl's descent into drug addiction and single motherhood after she was raped. While books about things like drug addiction and teen pregnancy aren't for everyone, they are sadly reflective of the reality many teenage girls find themselves in. "Crank" and "Glass" speak to the hearts of those readers.
"Identical" is similar in style. This is still a book in beautiful ... Read More
Rating: - Beware the Broken Mirror
PLEASE NOTE WELL: The five stars are for the author's clearly-manifested writing ability and the reader's thespian talent . They are not an indication of the suitability of this book for a particular young adult (or mature one, for that matter).
Children and young adults are supposed to be exposed to "window books" and "mirror books" to help them become more insightful, better educated human beings. "Identical" is not the sort of window one would wish on another lightly. It goes without saying that ... Read More

- Challenging both in style and subject matter
Conventional wisdom holds that twins, especially identical twins, share a deeper connection to each other than siblings. This connection goes beyond mere empathy and verges on the metaphysical. Ellen Hopkins, in her latest teen novel, IDENTICAL, uses this idea as a starting point to explore a severely dysfunctional family whose twin daughters are in physical danger and emotional crisis.
Raeanne and Kaeleigh Gardella are the teenage daughters of two successful parents: dad Ray is a prominent judge and ... Read More

Product Description:
Do twins begin in the womb?
Or in a better place?
Kaeleigh and Raeanne are identical down to the dimple. As daughters of a district-court judge father and a politician mother, they are an all-American family -- on the surface. Behind the facade each sister has her own dark secret, and that's where their differences begin.
For Kaeleigh, she's the misplaced focus of Daddy's love, intended for a mother whose presence on the campaign trail means absence at home. All that Raeanne sees is Daddy playing a game of favorites -- and she is losing. If she has to lose, she will do it on her own terms, so she chooses drugs, alcohol, and sex.
Secrets like the ones the twins are harboring are not meant to be kept -- from each other or anyone else. Pretty soon it's obvious that neither sister can handle it alone, and one sister must step up to save the other, but the question is -- who?
