This book is awesome
I read this book for the first time about 17 years ago. It actually began my love of reading. It is an incredible novel about the future & the dangers of cloning. Anna is such a real & believeable character. Her brother knows there is something different about her & does not like her. Once he begins to see her clones in public places, he rallies to her side & tries to help her discover why it is that she is so different. Great story & definitely recommended.

I loved This Book
I am fifteen now and read this book when I was about 11 or 12. I thought the book was great and still own it. The plot was very interseting and I would recomend it to any young readers, especially those who like science fiction.

VERY ENTERTAINING AND ENJOYABLE
This book is written for a juvenile audience, I feel. I read it first when I was about 12 and again several more times throughout my teen years. I love this book. It is about Anna, a misfit within her own family. She is not like them and does not resemble any of them. She lives in a futuristic society where everyone has to type into computers (they are everywhere: malls, libraries, in every home), where they are going before they go there. The computer will then give them permission to go. One particular day, Anna decides to go somewhere with her brother and does not type it in. Her and her brother get separated in the store and he searches for her at length. He walks up to a young woman that looks identical to his sister and mistakes her. Anna finds out about this and there is a confrontation with the parents. Apparently, the mother willingly allowed scientists to inject a cloned egg into her of a famous person (I believe another scientist). This is why she does not look like her family. When the authorities find out that she did not type in where she was going and that she did indeed come into contact with one of her clones, they encourage her to go to a special hopsital/hotel of sorts. Alot of weird instances happen here. But I won't give it away. I highly recommend this to young adults, and even some older ones that would enjoy easy reading and thought provoking fiction. I LOVE this book!
