How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
Thomas and I are identical twins, not fraternal—one fertilized egg that split in half and went off in two directions. (1.8)
Two directions is putting it mildly. One brother ended up with anger management problems and the other ended up with severe mental illness. They might look the same, but they are wildly different on the inside, like one Twinkie filled with vanilla and another filled with banana crème.
Quote #2
I loved my brother. I hated him. There was no solution to who he was. No getting back who he had been. (1.36)
Dominick loves the Thomas he remembers, but he hates the person Thomas has become. It's like he's a different person entirely.
Quote #3
Take it from the uncrazy twin—the guy who beat the biochemical rap. (3.1)
Dominick always defines himself in relation to Thomas. We'll see this a lot during the book. But we'd just like to make a minor correction here, and call Dominick the differently crazy twin. He's not exactly uncrazy, he's just nuts in a totally different way.
