New technology, new choices . . . but who gets to choose? Conjoined twins Gordon and Johnny have never let their condition keep them from living full and fulfilling lives. Gordon looks forward to many years of closeness and cooperation. Johnny, however, faces their future with increasing restlessness, even dread. When the boys are in their teens, the new technologies of accelerated human cloning and brain transplants are combined into a single medical procedure. Someone whose body has suffered such extensive damage as to make normal life impossible may -- with court approval -- be cloned and then given a brain transplant into the clone body. With Gordon's unwitting assistance, Johnny realizes that this procedure provides the chance he had never dared to hope for -- the chance to live in a "normal," separate body. But Gordon considers their conjoined life a blessing, rather than a curse. He has no intention of accepting separation -- not without a fight . . . .Division, like Wyle's earlier novels, uses original settings and situations to explore universal themes: the complexity and intensity of family relationships, the nature of individual identity, and the far-reaching effects of the choices we make."In her unique combination of surreal reality with a twist of scientific fantasy, Wyle thrusts her themes of family relationships, morality and choice into another twister of reading fascination. . . . Alluring, different, highly creative, Wyle demands our attention - her pages rock the cradle of what humanity means to each of us. . . . An author to watch." -- The Review Broads" The author took the time to weave a delicate and sensitive story into a great novel. . . . [M]uch more than science fiction . . . I would recommend this book to adults and teens alike." -- KeepingDreams Book Reviews"The book is well written and very well thought out . . . It will appeal to young and old readers alike. Science fiction, fantasy, young adult, future or realistic; whatever you want to call it, Division by Karen Wyle is good reading for all." -- Readers Favorite"Division is one of the best books I read in 2013. . . . [E]xplore[s] what it's like living in the skin of an unusual, unexpected person. . . . I heartily recommend this book." -- Magic and Mayhem… (mehr)

'd class this as a futuristic coming of age book. Conjoined twins are leading what for them is a normal life until one of them makes the decision to become separated using the science of cloning. His brother disagrees and there is then a court battle to decide. The twins have to abide by the courts decision.

Some of the science are over my head, but i was still able to grasp the concept of the book. The twins were easy to love and easy to hate. The wonderful descriptions of their interactions made this possible. I enjoyed the book, especially since it was full of surprises. The cover was eye catching and made me want to read the book immediately upon receiving it. I would definitely recommend it to my friends and it is a book I plan to keep.

I received a copy of this booking exchange for this honest review ( )
