Read this within two days. First at the playground where R & her BFF spent a good 90 minutes running around (and this was after the switch-off), and then again on a rainy Sunday.
It's a nice hardcover copy from Dark Carnival that was printed in 1988, so god knows how long this has been on the shelf. I originally bought this as a xmas present for my teen nephew-in-law, then ended up giving him something else. I know, what an aunt, eh?). Olman seems intrigued too.
The Duplicate is a tight, claustrophobic psychological sci fi thriller for young adults. The story was also much darker than expected, so note to self: this is not something my kid should read until she’s at least 13!
