Replica

From the bestselling author of Panic, soon to be a major Amazon Prime series

De: Lauren Oliver

Narrado por: Erin Spencer, Sarah Drew

From the New York Times bestselling author of BEFORE I FALL and the Delirium Trilogy, come two astonishing stories in one epic, masterful novel that explores the issues of individuality, identity, and humanity.

Lyra's story begins in the Haven Institute, a building tucked away on a private island off the coast of Florida that from a distance looks serene and even beautiful. But up close the locked doors, military guards, and biohazard suits tell a different story. In truth, Haven is a clandestine research facility where thousands of replicas, or human models, are born, raised, and observed. When a surprise attack is launched on Haven, two of its young experimental subjects - Lyra, aka number 24, and the boy known only as 72 - manage to escape.

Gemma has been in and out of hospitals for as long as she can remember. A lonely teen, her life is circumscribed by home, school, and her best friend, April. But after she is nearly abducted by a stranger claiming to know her, Gemma starts to investigate her family's past and discovers her father's mysterious connection to the secretive Haven Institute. Hungry for answers, she travels to Florida, only to stumble upon two replicas and a completely new set of questions.

While the stories of Lyra and Gemma mirror each other, each contains breathtaking revelations critically important to the other story. Using a downloadable chapter guide, listeners can decide how they would like to listen to the audiobook, as with the print version. They can listen to the story of Gemma or Lyra straight through first, followed by the other girl's story, or they can move between chapters in Lyra's and Gemma's sections. No matter how it is listened to, REPLICA is an ambitious, thought-provoking masterwork.

Reseñas de la Crítica

A searing pair of intertwined stories about the line between science and humanity, told with Oliver's signature grace, uniqueness, and precision. It's a new story every way you turn it - but always gorgeous, always haunting. (Marie Lu, author of The Young Elites and Legend )

Electric, heartbreaking, pulse-pounding, and timely, REPLICA is a riveting two-for-one. Two complex heroines, two puzzling mysteries, two weaving adventures, all in one astounding novel. (Victoria Aveyard, bestselling author of Red Queen)

Lauren Oliver is the rising star of young adult fiction.

Prepare to become completely absorbed.

Whip smart and addictive.

An adept and occasionally courageous storyteller who can shock and awe with a well-placed twist.

Fast paced and consistently poignant, this tale quickly becomes hypnotically addictive.

A reading experience not to be missed-or forgotten.

Young adult novel

For some or other reason I seem to be purchasing 'young adult' novels lately. Very good narration, but the story is a bit too immature for my liking. If I was 20 years younger I would have appreciated this book more.
