This Charmed book was truely unique. When i first read it i was really amazed at how well the author wrote the book. She followed each sister's life very closely so we weren't lost at all. In fact, the end was the absolute best!!! Piper was in the face of death when she realized the demon's weakest point and it was so cool how easily she killed him!! I could not believe the suspense i felt while reading this book! If you love Charmed, read THIS book!!

This Charmed book can be alternatively called, 101 Ways to Die. He writes very succintly, putting each and every event into nice, summarized fashion for the reader to read. Unlike Hurricane Hex, this book focuses on the demons, and a multiplying one at that.

The doppelganger in question duplicates himself each time he dies, and the method used to kill him becomes ineffective.

Throughout reading this book, I am suddenly enlightened by the many ways a person can undertake to kill himself. Drowning, jumping off a building, getting shot by a crossbow, getting hit by a shotgun, crashing his own van, ramming himself into a wall, blowing himself into bits, and also even being shot by a bazooka. This Charmed book approaches a new concept of a demon - a regenerative one. Kudos to Greg.

Also, I am most impressed with his creative flair. The spells used throughout the book are aplenty, and each one is written perfectly and wonderfully, with a balanced sense of alliteration, tone and rhyme. I am excellently thrilled with Greg's spells which left me satisfied each time I read one aloud.

Greg's storyline is flawed at times, with some parts of the storyline and detail falling short, but the characters like Darryl and Chase develop with excellence. I am also slightly disappointed with the lacklustre ending, but overall, the book was exciting and wonderfully entertaining.

I would buy more of Greg's books in the future (this being one of them), but I would like to advise him not to watch Final Destination while he is writing it.

Hallelujah. It is about time one of the Charmed ones shows a little common sense. Paige runs into a tourist twice in a short time and suspects he will therefore become part of their lives and duties. She is right. Paige and the tourist both get jobs at the museum giving tours of a new Ancient Greece exhibit. But one item holds a deadly secret.

No sooner is the radar up that something is strange in the exhibit, than a demon is released and it possesses the tourist. But this is no ordinary demon. It likes to die. Every time it dies it doubles and gains an immunity to that form of destruction. While the Charmed ones are hunting the demon, Darryl and the rest of the force are swamped with violent crimes that all seen to involve the same guy even when several occur at once. Can they stop the demon before it destroys the world?

This one was pretty good but I felt Paige realized the immunity factor almost instinctively with almost no data. But other than that things seemed to work pretty well. The characters and their powers were handled better than in some and with good consistency. This one was about as wild as one of the novels can be allowed to be without it contradicting the show.

The Charmed Ones are second to none when it comes to vanquishing the deadliest demons, but they find themselves utterly at a loss for answers when an ancient demon is accidentally released. Every time this demon is vanquished it comes back to life--and doubles itself. As if that weren't bad enough, this demon can't be killed the same way twice. The sisters learn that the doubling demons plan to form an army which will destroy our civilization, and their only option may be to sacrifice the man with whom Paige has fallen in love.
Normally, Charmed books have a lot of build up to a single vanquish. Demon Doppelgangers, however, contains several exciting episodes, as the sisters face off against the doubles to protect scores of innocents. This book also contains a large number of spells, and every one of them is well-written. The sisters are skillfully portrayed, and both Leo and Darryl, characters sadly absent now from the series, have strong supporting roles.
Demon Doppelgangers is sure to be doubly delightful to any Charmed fan.

This is the first time I read a "Charmed" book and I was really surprised by its content. It compares favorably with the TV series since even the expressions used by the personages remind you of the series. A good book!

I am a charmed fanatic. Anyway it was discriptive of where the characters were and it was a great begining,in my oppinion.I think the books rock,all but one : challenging places.

I HAVE NOT READ ALL THE CHARMED BOOKS BUT I AM TRYING TO. I AM NOT ALLOWED TO BY THEM AS IT WILL COST LOADS I HAVE STARTED WATCHING THEM FROM SEASON 7. I REALLY WANT TO WATCH SEAONS 12345678 BECAUSE IT MAKES ME LOOK AT MY LIFE IN A WHOLE NEW WAY. MY FAVOURITE SISTER IS PAIGE
