As long as you don't go into reading BAD TWIN thinking you're going to solve the mysteries of the hit television show Lost, then you should be okay. BAD TWIN, on its own, is an intriguing mystery featuring twin brothers--one a bigwig in the family business, the other a ne're-do-well who has gone missing. Oh, sure, there are a few references in the actual storyline to make you go "hmmm"--the philosopher John Locke, a trip to Australia aboard an Oceanic flight, the totally hyped numbers showing up as the twin's birthday, and the family name of Widmore. But besides those few basic tidbits, this book won't tell you squat. It really has nothing to do with Lost. On its own merits, though, it's an engaging mystery that I read in one day, and if Gary Troup was an actual person (which he isn't), and had actually written anything else besides BAD TWIN (which he hasn't), I wouldn't hesitate to read it.Read full review
This was an ok story as far as mysteries go. It just wasn't what I thought it was going to be. There was only a handful of references to the 'Lost' characters and nothing really meaningful. So, if you plan to read this book to gain some deeper understanding of some of the Lost mysteries, you will be disappointed. If you read this book as if it was any other, you will be only a little less dissapointed. Overall, just an ok read.
If your a fan of the tv show lost your going to love this book. This whole thing is made up! even the author of the book. check it out!
It was a present to someone else. The purchase experience was good though. The gift-ee is a huge lost fan and I am sure she will enjoy it. I have heard good things about it and might borrow the book at a later date.
don't have one.
