yea it was great.i mean ofcourse it's not like her other books;it's not apart of the series and it's just amazing.
I love all of her books. She got me into verse and that still shocks me. I love the Kristina books far better than the others but she doesn't have a bad one IMO!!
Sonya Sones is another good one for verse books. Not as good as Hopkins in my opinion but I like them. There's another author too, and the book I liked a lot is I Heart You, You Haunt Me - that's worth checking into I think! :)
Oh i've heard of her books!lol.Yea and I Heart You,You Haunt Me is going to be in my hands in a couple of weeks:D
Out of all of the Ellen Hopkins books that I have read, Identical is my favorite by far. I did not expect that ending AT ALL. It was an amazing read.
Thought it was absolutely amazing! This is my second favorite of hers after Impulse (which is one of my top three favorite books overall.) The ending was TOTALLY unexpected and WOW! I haven't read that kind of twist in a book, had me completely flabbergasted at how amazing this book was
Favorite book by her, my twin sister actually gave it to me and it just blew my mind. I kept questioning wether that was us or not and I realize it isn't possible because we do EVERYTHING together. But it was an absolutely amazing book.
Just like "A Kid Named Megan" said, I was in a daze for a week. This book was incredible, it really makes you think about your life along with other's.
I loved it so much, I find myself just going back and reading certain parts here and there almost every day... I wish I could do what Hopkins has accomplished with her poetry, I admire her with every fiber in my body
This book kept me up at night because of the disturbing images it put in my mind.. lol but i loved this book, and this author(:
I love all these books.
It really blew me away about the twin sister..
It really blew me away about the twin sister..
I did like it a lot, but it was a bit too much. The ending was the best though, a real shocker! I watched an interview w/ Ellen Hopkins, and she says she writes this to open up to teenagers, but i thought that sexual abuse in family was really strong. But the book was amazing, I won't lie. :)

I watched an interview w/ Ellen Hopkins, and she says she writes this to open up to teenagers, but i ..."Agree! A real shocker there..It was the best for me, cause she wrote it cautiously not to reveal anything until we reach that tipping point..A bit disturbing at the child abuse part, but other than that, this book was amazing!
I loved Ellen Hopkins when I was really into ya fiction. She has such a way of opening your mind to pretty horrific things without really scaring you away from it. You see the person behind the addiction or the pain and it becomes kinda beautiful while still breaking your heart!Identical was my second favorite of Ellen's work after Impulse which I just found so relatable in my early teens.
I also read I Heart You, You Haunt Me and I hated it! I thought it was really superficial and the characters seemed so flat! Then the story was just told way too quickly to have any real effect but asking around my fellow readers, I seem to stand alone on that opinion.
Anyway, Ellen Hopkins is an amazing author and definitely one of the best in ya fiction.
This book, at times, made my jaw drop. i would literally stay up all night until i passed out because i couldnt put it down. Ellen Hopkins has yet to fail me.
This is one of the most powerful books I have ever read. I love Ellen Hopkins books because you can NEVER guess the endings. What do you guys think..?
I guessed the ending of this from the beginning. It sort of annoys me when authors always try to have a big shocking conclusion, but maybe just because if you guess it, it sort of ruins the book.
Kirby wrote: "I foresaw the ending to impulse, but for some reason I didn't see this one coming..."Lol...just noticed I posted something to you on the Sex thread...anyway, I think what gave the ending away for me was at the very beginning where she talks about two souls or one souls split in two...I just thought, I bet it's only one girl. I don't know why, but I immediately thought that, and then throughout the book they hardly interact, so it reinforced my theory.
Identical is my favorite book out of all her books. The ending was amazing. I kind of figured it out towards the middle of the book. But I kept reading thinking I was wrong. I'm glad she ended up with her best friend in the end. And I hope her father dies.
I really liked Identical and now i'm reading Impulse, cant wait to finish hope i like it as much as Identical.WHICH DO YOU GUYS LIKE BETTER IDENTICAL OR BURNED?
I totally loved this book and the ending was not what I expected! She is probably one of my favorite YA authors. I am a school librarian and I can't keep her books on the shelf!
Just finished "Impulse" and its hard to pick which one is my favorite, Identical was written with such passion and i loved all the pictures the words made : )
I loved it, it was raw and real and the beutifully written and the emotions so spot on. I actually anticipatted the ending halfway through the book cos i watch and read so many psychological thrillers i had an inkling from the begining of what might happen. Neverthless it didnt fail to still touch me in the end.
This is my favorite Ellen Hopkins book that I've read so far. It blew my mind, and I it's one of my favorite YA books.
This book was so crazy but also so good! The ending blew my mind. I really thought there was 2 sisters, but that proved me wrong in an amazing way. I you guys liked that book you should read TRICKS.
I loved this book completely, but the end was kinda spoiled for me on here, so it wasn't AS shocking, but still. i THINK THERE SHOULD BE A SEQUEL.
I loved this book, it was one book I never predicted the ending of. I actually had to reread half the book because I thought I missed something, Hopkins shows her genius.
I loved this book! I was completely blown away with the ending I can honestly say that I did not see it coming at all. It was really well written just a great book all around.
I was addicted to this book ... like all of ellen hopkins books it was another one i couldn't put down. The ending was just so unexpected though ...
This is my second favorite Ellen Hopkins book, my first was tricks. I've read them all and I think she is one of the most amazing writers. The way she put's feelings into words, and the way she can make you feel as if you're right there next to the character is mind blowing. I couldn't believe the plot twist at the end, I had no idea that would happen. I get very emotionally invested in her book's, and this one definitely brought out all the feel's.
I agree i love Ellen Hopkins because she is able to create books that are so raw with emotion and filled with topics that most people are too scared to talk about. In each book she writes so that you are able to embrace her characters as if you are inside of them living their pain... abuse.. hope .. addictions and lost love. Not every author can make you feel uncomfortable and yet still enjoy what your reading.
