The verdict: “Man, this book is crazy. I loved it.”

Also, HarperCollins created a Twins widget. If you have time on your hands and don’t like to read in bed, or riding the train, or in the bath tub, you can read the entire novel on your computer screen. I don’t recommend it. Better yet, you can add this widget to your website.
