This story is creepy! At first, Chris Skinners' so-called father comes to Chris because he's very sick and needs a bone marrow transplant, so Chris gives some of his bone marrow to his father Paul to save his life.
Chris lookes so much like Paul, a former famous football player.
A rock star Tony looks so much like his son Pace, another rock star.
Amy's classmate Linda Riviera looks so much like Rita Ritchie, Linda's mother and a movie star.
The tycoon Ace Trolliver gets a heart transplant from his dead son Scott and it works on him perfectly.
Grace Morrison, Project Crescent scientist (a.k.a. a member of the organization), comes to L.A.
And Paul gets part of Chris, Ace gets part of Scott, Tony with the bad kidneys wants a part of Pace, and blind Rita Ritchie wants eyes from Linda.
So maybe the Amys and the Andys aren't the only clones on earth.

Amy's new boyfriend, Chris Skinner, can't even remember his father, who abandoned Chris and his mom when Chris was just a baby. Now, fourteen years later, Paul Skinner has returned. He claims to have reformed, and asks for a second chance at being a father. Chris is naturally reluctant to give him a chance, but Mr. Skinner really seems to want to start over again. But when he announces that he is seriously ill, and needs a bone marrow transplant, Amy suspects he has ulterior motives. After all, Mr. Skinner has a rare blood type, and as his son, Chris could be the perfect match. When Grace Morrison, one person Amy never wanted to see again, reappears, she seems genuinely disturbed by a recent organ transplant, in which dying criminal Ace Tolliver was saved by the heart of his son, a college student who died in a tragic car accident. Amy is determined to get to the bottom of this mystery, and there may be even more lives at stake. I highly recommend this latest addition to the Replica series.

Hi, this is Marilyn Kaye, the author of the Replica series. I read the reviews written by Anna and charmedslayer, and they've given me a lot to think about. I don't want to disappoint my readers. I promise to take a long hard look at the series, and think about the directions it's taking. ... .

This book was great! It was sort of confusing at times, but it evened out in the end and everything made sense. Amy's new boyfriend has always been a mystery to her. But when Chris' father comes back in the picute and needs a bone marrow transplant, Amy is suspicious. Great addition to the Replica series and a must for any reader!

I thought this one was pretty good, but not the best, which is why I only gave it 4 stars. Anyways, I really like Chris--I think he's way better than Eric and Andy and from the picture on the cover, he's hotter too. But now onto the book.

In this book, Chris's dad, who abandoned him when he was young, comes back because he needs to have surgery. Chris needs to donate bone marrow in order for his dad to have the operation. Amy soon learns that Chris's dad made a clone of himself so he could have spare parts in case something went wrong with his body. Chris is the clone. This book will have you on the edge of your seat!

As for you, "A Reader From NJ" (whose review is dated January 10, 2002) I completely disagree. Oh, and you should read book #21. You'll be happy at what happens to Chris.

Amy knows that Chris was always a mystery to her, with a shadowy past. She never would have imagined what she would be getting into when she becomes involved in Chris's past when his father finally shows up after so many years. He needs a bone marrow transplant, and his son is the perfect match. Amy suspects that something's going on, but her mother tells her that she has to give Chris's dad a chance at starting over a broken life. And when the infamous Grace Morrison returns, Amy isn't sure if the scientist has changed that much since their last encounter. But as Amy learns more of a hideous plot being made that could affect the entire world, suddenly, she begins to wonder if she and the other Amy's are the only clones in the world. Replica #20: Like Father, Like Son is in my opinion one of the best of the Replica series, and it is a very important book. The mystery deepens, and it's a powerful book in the series.

Chris( Amy Chandler's new boyfriend)has lived most of his life without his perfessional football player dad. However after so many years suddenly his dad returns. However the intentions are different from what Chris thinks. His father needs a bone marrow transplant because his old drug habit has caught up with him and he thinks Chris might be the perfect match. Amy totally disagrees with Chris giving his father help because she thinks his father is just coming back to Chris in his time of need. Plus she has a bad feeling about this whole situation. She doesn't want adults who are sick to just be able to tap into there childs system and make their children unwilling donors whose whole life was meant to donate. She isn't about to let this happen! This was a great book! I can't wait for the next one to come! Hope I'd helped!

I do not a agree with those other 2 reveiws. I loved this book! Chris is one of my favorite characters. The way the author made amy describe him was great. So, those 2 wernt completly right. It was cool as the mystery of the clones thicken. There are alot more than you think. It makes you wonder what Marilyn has up her sleeve.

It's an okay book, not the best but not the worst. The summaary on the back makes it sound different than it is. But I still like it espically the part near the end. I would still recomend this book to all Replica fans! Won't give anymore away.

Replica has always been a good books, but they r starting to not be as good anymore. Chris,Amy's boyfriend, dad comes to town. He hasn't seen him 4 like 4ever. Amy starting 2 become parinoid. She is thinking almost every1 that looks like thier parents r clones and they were made as spare parts 4 the parent. I like wierd books i really do but this is starting to get almost out of hand wierd. Amy is thinking too many peeps r clones and they really do turn out to be. Marilyn Kaye's beginning replica books were just alot better. Amy is getting to worn of a char. I mean i looked at the future books and they r gonna have aliens in it. I mean when u get down to your char is going to meet aliens then it's time to stop the series of books. I also think that Marilyn Kaye needs to get her replica books to grow with Amy so she can keep her readers. I mean i have been reading replica since book 1 was published and theese books r getting to small 4 me. When amy turns her next age (i think that should be 14) she needs her books to be long and vocabulary wise 4 the the 14 year old audienes.
