I'm sorry these books didn't hold your interest very much. I hate when that happens... its saddening sometimes. But sometimes books are for some people. I really liked the concept of Twinmaker, and I enjoyed the movie Jumper so I would like to give this book a go.

I get bored fast when things don't start happening quickly, or at least have compelling characters to keep me hooked and Clair and Libby don't sound that great. As for Dollhouse we talked about it on GR but yeah, that one was a fail for me as well!

Um, NO, because THAT wouldn't be weird AT ALL *smirks* Blahhhh.. His brother? REALLY? *eyeroll* I don't need to know more. This will forever stay off my tbr. The only brother thing I'm willing to read is Soul Screamers and that's only because I'm already in the middle of the seven book series >.< Pffftttt I don't like cheating stories or any kind of sneaking around to begin with so I don't think that Twinmaker is right for me either.

I'm already annoyed at Cheyenne and her obsession with Teo, and the heroine and her friend in Twinmaker don't sound like I'd enjoy them much better. It's bummer when a book doesn't work out, but I'm glad you felt like you could put them down and move on when they weren't working. That's a great skill to have.
