I just finished the book Head Trip: One Case of Super Twins by Jack Eadon.  I received this book for review.  I find myself reflecting on it with a sense of unease.  The book goes against everything I’ve ever known about twins.  First of all, these twins are conceived at separate times (about a month apart).   I didn’t know that could actually happen with humans!  Secondly,  there is a rift growing between them throughout their lives.  All of the twins that I know have been extremely close.   The final thing is….well, I’ll have to leave that for you to find out.  I don’t want to give away the entire story!

What I can tell you is that Head Trip is not the typical book I would read.  It is the first of the American Drama Series, which deals with the “seven deadly sins” as they appear in one man’s life.  The book has a lot of background medical information, which I found to be very interesting and slightly distasteful.  It contains a great deal of symbolism.  There was some bad language in it and some of the scenes are particularly graphic.  These took away from the story for me.  Overall, the story was intriguing and suspenseful.   Unexpected turns in the story kept me guessing.  I was surprised many times by the plot twists.   The story covered a long time span (about twenty years) in about 300 pages.  Eadon did an excellent job of establishing strong character development in those 300 pages.  He likens the main characters (Marcus and Roger) to the Biblical brothers Jacob and Esau whose rivalry changed history.  Likewise, Marcus and Roger’s relationship changes history in many aspects.   When I read the summary on the back of the book, I mistakenly expected the book to be a Christian novel.  This is definitely not something I could give to my grandmother, who is my earthly barometer for holiness.   The series will continue with the sin of greed.  The question is, how will it end?

This is not a story for someone looking for an easy weekend read.  Instead, Head Trip will take you on a thrilling ride that won’t stop without a sudden jolt.
