5.0 out of 5 stars This is an awesome book that you must read
Double Act is a great book about 2 inseparable twins, their dad, their mom, their gran, and their mean stepmother, Rose.

It is sort of short but is very much worth reading if you like sad books.

3.0 out of 5 stars the only reviewer from AMERICA!
The only thing I liked about this book was that it reads fast- i got credit in school for reading the pages. What i didn't like was that on the back it says it shows kids what its like to be a twin. Even if you like this book, don't be fooled. I have friends WHO ACTUALLY ARE TWINS, and i read this with them. They gave me a list of about 50 stereotypes in this book...

5.0 out of 5 stars READ THIS BOOK, January 12, 2006
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Double Act (Paperback)
You wanna know why this book is so great? Well, you'll just have to read it - but I will tell you a little bit.

This book you are about to order (maybe) Is about identical twins with totally different personalities. Ruby is outgoing and playful, while Garnet is quiet and shy. When their mother dies and gets replaced by frizzy dizzy Rose, they have to team up and stand up against the family.

You're still wondering why this book is so good right? Well, the reason why I rated this book 5 stars is because it is so organized and if you read it, it'll hook you, making you want to read more, more, more: until you finish and complain that there is no sequel to it.

Jacqueline Wilson fans, welcome the amazing: DOUBLE ACT!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars This is one of my favorite books!!, March 11, 2002
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Double Act (Paperback)
I read a book called Double Act. This was one of the best books that I have ever read. It was funny, adventurous, and very much like real life. It was adventurous because the two main characters, Ruby and Garnet, who are identical twins, ask their dad (their mom is dead) if they can audition for a twin commercial, but he says no. Regardless of this, they go to New York and audition. It was funny because their dad met someone that they hate and they do funny things like confuse her, throw-up on her, etc. This is realistic because she made these two characters act how real twins act-I would know because I have a twin sister. Jacqueline wilson has a very unique writing style. she uses cliffhangers,and writes in a way that there is never a part whereit isn't interesting, boring or obvious. this is a book that you just can't put down! When you come acorss a book well-written, like this one, you say, "Mom, just let me finish this chapter I have just one more page to finish!" You really have three, but anything to read more of it! I suggest this book to anyone who like funny, adventurous, and realistic books.

5.0 out of 5 stars another hit from Jacqueline Wilson, April 7, 2002
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Double Act (Paperback)
This book is about twins called Ruby and Garnet. I liked this story for lots of reasons. I am interested in what life is like for twins. The story is written from the point of view of each twin - the twins take it in turns to narrate a chapter. I also enjoyed the different things going on in the story. Some parts are funny, other parts are a little sadder - Ruby and Garnet are not always happy to be identical twins. I couldn't put the book down - but then I am always like that with a Jacqueline Wilson book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Double Act, June 7, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Double Act (Paperback)
Welcome to Double Act by Jacqueline Wilson. This book is about 2 girls that are twins. Their names are Ruby and Garnet. They really don't like their Dad's new girlfriend. Their real mother died when they were little. Now their whole life is ruined when Rose comes in. If you want to find out more, just buy the book, you'll love it!

I liked this book because I remebered my old friends when reading it. They don't like their stepmother either. They are aleays crying because they want their mother back.

I would like to recommend this book to my friends and to all the girls that like reading about twins. I bet that when you get this book you won't want to put it down.

This review is from: Double Act (Paperback)
Double Act is a book by Jaqueline Wilson which is based on two indentical, yet different personalitied twins. Their lives revolve around their Dad's occcupation, which means having to move house and school. they find making friends at school hard because they are worried they'll have to move again soon and everything including their friends. The twins story also includes a trip to London for an audition. this is a book is very funnny yet true touching. After you have read it you shall wish you had a twin sister of your own.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Double Act (Hardcover)
The book we recently read and enjoyed was Double Act by Jaqueline wilson which we read with our class, 1m2. It is about two identical twins called Ruby and Garnet who live with there dad and gran because there mother died when they were young. Although they look the same they have two totally different personalities. Ruby is the loud and scruffy one and Garnet is the quiet and tidy one. Ruby wants to be an actress when she grows up so when Ruby sees an ad in the newspaper she jumps at the chance to go to it so she bullies Garnet into going with her. There is much heasitation but eventually Garnet gives in. We're not going to tell you any more so you better get reading!
