Customer Reviews

One of my all time favorites

To say I was a bookworm as a child...total understatement. This is one book that I have read and re-read again and again. Fascinating story with some neat ideas, astral projection, etc. I was always a fantasy/sci-fi lover and this book was great.

*ahem*

I am not sure how I ever received a copy of this book. I know that I have had it for a very long time and that when I first read it I couldn't have been older than seven years old. Astral projection, OBE's and other things of that nature fascinated me long before I knew how to refer to them. This book allowed me to identify things like the jolt I sometimes felt as I fell asleep or the sound I hear behind other sounds. The best thing about the book is the fact that Barthe Declements and Christopher Greimes used Philip and Faith to explain simple techniques to young readers. Knowing that there was another world to explore and a culture of people who explored it enchanted me and still does. The combination of the descriptions of the twins' 'special powers' and the relatively engaging plot was a smashing combination and the only reason why I was tempted to deny the book of it's fifth star is because I realize more and more everytime I read it that it is more of a guide than a story. The thing is, though, that the guide's masquerade as a story is what makes it so special.

It is a very touching story!

Double Trouble by Barthe DeClements and Christopher Greimes is a wonderful book. The twins Phillip and Faith are separated from each other, but they have a special way to communicate with each other. While Faith live with Aunt Linda, Phillip got adopted by the Wangsleys. They both got into serious trouble because of their special power. Can they help each other to solve the problems? I strongly recommend it to the readers who are interest in psychic abilities. The book also dealing a lot with the feeling that the twins have for being separated apart. It is a very touching story!

A book you don't want to miss

I really liked the way Faith and Phillip communicated with each other.Most books you read are about siblings who always argue and never get along.The problems and the plot is really good.Although,I think Phillip should've talked to his case worker sooner.Other than that the book was awesome.I find myself wishing that a sequel would be written!

Great Book!

This book about a pair of twins is very good. Their parents and older sister have died and Faith goes to live with her aunt while Phillp gets adopted out to a family very different than his own. They each have problems to solve; can they help each other in time?
