I loved this book a lot I suspected that something was not right with the story at the beginning, but as I read on I had a very hard time putting the book down. I though it was a thrilling but yet very realistic on things and it showed what could happen if you got into the wrong things. Kaeleigh was an interesting person she quite confused me. A lot of the book i got the feeling that they were the same person quite a few times I had to go back and reread some. I read this entire book in one sitting of 2 and a half hours

I finished reading identical in 2 days and I just found this webpage an figured I would write I brief review… Ellen Hopkins is my favorite author. She will have you saying “just one more page” an you won’t want to put the book down. I actually chose to read Identical for a project I have to present in English class, & I am glad I chose it because it is absolutely amazing. I see how people could find it “disturbing” but I am not easily disturbed so I really enjoyed it. I believe that the disturbing thing about it is you think that your “neighbor etc” could be your typical American family but really there are a lot of things they are going through an they are putting on a facad. By the end of the story, I was shocked about the twist… I didn’t expect it to happen! It was truly amazing, I do admit I had to re-read the part at the very end starting on page 518. I was confused at a point, but then I realized what went on. I recommend this book “identical” and all other Ellen Hopkins books. I am currently reading “impulse”… It’s great as well.

First of all, Ellen Hopkins is my favorite author. I love the sinister beauty of the free verse, and I live for the chills that I get from the plots. Though Impulse is my favorite, Identical is, as you can always expect from Ellen Hopkins, superb. The ending blew me away, and the rest of the book made me think and think and think. These books are brutal, but everyone alive should read them. These messages need to be spread. As for the appropriate age for the audience, it depends on your tolerance. I’m only 12, but I can personally relate to a lot of her ideas and stories. The books can be very graphic at times, so you might want to be careful. Still- I highly recommend anything by this author.

I just read Identical for a school book report and it was mentally disturbing but a good book. It was very interesting all the way through and i am going to read all books by Ellen Hopkins now.

I’ve read all of Ellen Hopkins books
and I would have to say I loved them all.
Identical probably was the most disturbing
but still very, very good.
If you have not read any of these books
you need to ASAP.
They are wonderful.
Very well written.
And very inspiring.
Burned was probably my favorite one.
I reccomend them to you all!
Enjoy!
