5.0 out of 5 stars A suspenseful fantasy thriller, Jul 15 2004

By	Laraine A. Barker "Laraine A Barker" (New Zealand) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Stranger with My Face (Mass Market Paperback)

How can she be in two places at one time?

Laurie was at home, but her boyfriend swears he saw her on the beach with another guy. Her family insists they see her coming and going when she's been out of the house for hours. Who--or what--is taking over Laurie's life?

A short blurb on the front cover proclaims: "Someone is watching Laurie, waiting to steal her life." How could any young reader resist such a line? When I picked up this book I couldn't.

Stranger with My Face, told in first person, starts off more as though it's going to be a thriller than a fantasy. But as the fantasy element strengthens it becomes steadily scarier, building into a terrifying climax that makes for an exciting, unputdownable read.

This book is definitely intended for young adults (after all, the protagonist is 17 years old) but I suspect most readers will be a lot younger. Few 12-year-olds can resist a really scary story. I certainly couldn't. I remember reading Jane Eyre (one of the few good books to come my way, purely by accident) and it was the mad woman in the attic rather than the hopeless love between Jane and her employer that kept me turning the pages. :-)

Many of the reviews here, I feel, give away too much of the plot. But I particularly like Heidi Lott's review and envy the fact that she obviously had someone around when she was young to point her in the direction of the best books for young readers. Like Heidi, I would also recommend Stranger with My Face to any adult who loves a good story well told.

4.0 out of 5 stars After all these years..., May 25 2004

By	Miss Heidi - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stranger with My Face (Mass Market Paperback)

I read this book when I was a pre-teen and it's haunted me ever since. I'm 33 years old and couldn't remember the name or author, only the feeling the book gave me as an adopted child with a wild imagination. Something in my head clicked today and I searched for the book on Amazon and lo-and-behold, here it was! This is a fantastic read you'll never forget, I recommend it to any young reader, or even an older one like me, as I'm definitely ordering it to re-read and share with other young people.

By	Elody "17eudial17" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stranger with My Face (Mass Market Paperback)

this book will leave you thinking till the last page. Its one of those drama/angst stories with a touch of sci fi that is amazing. I dont recomend reading it at dark cuz you may get freaked out! j/k. Its a great suspenseful read as the main character discovers something shocking. i dont want to tell you and spoil it for you so i'll tell you to read it and find out for yourself. i promise you wont be dissappointed unless you don't like reading good stuff. ^_~
