Customer Reviews

Great!

This book was great! It was sort of confusing at times, but it evened out in the end and everything made sense. Amy's new boyfriend has always been a mystery to her. But when Chris' father comes back in the picute and needs a bone marrow transplant, Amy is suspicious. Great addition to the Replica series and a must for any reader!

The bleak potential of cloning experiments...

Amy knows that Chris was always a mystery to her, with a shadowy past. She never would have imagined what she would be getting into when she becomes involved in Chris's past when his father finally shows up after so many years. He needs a bone marrow transplant, and his son is the perfect match. Amy suspects that something's going on, but her mother tells her that she has to give Chris's dad a chance at starting over a broken life. And when the infamous Grace Morrison returns, Amy isn't sure if the scientist has changed that much since their last encounter. But as Amy learns more of a hideous plot being made that could affect the entire world, suddenly, she begins to wonder if she and the other Amy's are the only clones in the world. Replica #20: Like Father, Like Son is in my opinion one of the best of the Replica series, and it is a very important book. The mystery deepens, and it's a powerful book in the series.

Clones and More Clones

This story is creepy! At first, Chris Skinners' so-called father comes to Chris because he's very sick and needs a bone marrow transplant, so Chris gives some of his bone marrow to his father Paul to save his life.Chris lookes so much like Paul, a former famous football player.A rock star Tony looks so much like his son Pace, another rock star.Amy's classmate Linda Riviera looks so much like Rita Ritchie, Linda's mother and a movie star.The tycoon Ace Trolliver gets a heart transplant from his dead son Scott and it works on him perfectly.Grace Morrison, Project Crescent scientist (a.k.a. a member of the organization), comes to L.A.And Paul gets part of Chris, Ace gets part of Scott, Tony with the bad kidneys wants a part of Pace, and blind Rita Ritchie wants eyes from Linda.So maybe the Amys and the Andys aren't the only clones on earth.

Another thrilling new book in the Replica series.

Amy's new boyfriend, Chris Skinner, can't even remember his father, who abandoned Chris and his mom when Chris was just a baby. Now, fourteen years later, Paul Skinner has returned. He claims to have reformed, and asks for a second chance at being a father. Chris is naturally reluctant to give him a chance, but Mr. Skinner really seems to want to start over again. But when he announces that he is seriously ill, and needs a bone marrow transplant, Amy suspects he has ulterior motives. After all, Mr. Skinner has a rare blood type, and as his son, Chris could be the perfect match. When Grace Morrison, one person Amy never wanted to see again, reappears, she seems genuinely disturbed by a recent organ transplant, in which dying criminal Ace Tolliver was saved by the heart of his son, a college student who died in a tragic car accident. Amy is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, and there may be even more lives at stake. I highly recommend this latest addition to the Replica series.

Thrilling New Book in the Replica Series!

Chris( Amy Chandler's new boyfriend)has lived most of his life without his perfessional football player dad. However after so many years suddenly his dad returns. However the intentions are different from what Chris thinks. His father needs a bone marrow transplant because his old drug habit has caught up with him and he thinks Chris might be the perfect match. Amy totally disagrees with Chris giving his father help because she thinks his father is just coming back to Chris in his time of need. Plus she has a bad feeling about this whole situation. She doesn't want adults who are sick to just be able to tap into there childs system and make their children unwilling donors whose whole life was meant to donate. She isn't about to let this happen! This was a great book! I can't wait for the next one to come! Hope I'd helped!
