A review by innae
Bad Twin by Laurence Shames, Gary Troup

4.0

I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would, as it is a detective story, and usually, I get bored :-)

I did find some interesting parellels with Lost, though I don't know if I would consider them clues, perhaps when it all ends, and everything is tied up (hope hope hope) it will make sense. I have added a few of my thoughts below, highlight to read so I don't ruin it if you haven't watched the season 4 finale yet.


John Locke was a philosopher? Hmmmmmmm

Cliff Widmore (and family) are the main focus throughout Bad Twin, how does Charles Widmore fit in???

The detective makes many observations about the various Islands...even the places that aren't islands (Helios) are compared to such.

And they talk of purgatory, and redemption. Could it truly be that the island IS purgatory? I have heard that rumor. again with the hmmmmmmmm
