Bad Twin

This is the Lost book that was written by the writers and a famous mystery writer, who has not been named. There are a lot of Lost references in the book and here is a list of all the ones I have found.

1. Gary Troup (the author of the book) was from New York and supposedly was the guy that got sucked into the plane engine during episode 1 "The Pilot". He was supposed to be a famous mystery writer and he also wrote a book that is simmilar to The Davinci Code. Gary also was in love with Cindy Chandler!!! Yes, that Cindy!!! The flight attendant for Oceanic Flight 815 who was also a part of Ana's group and got kindnapped by "the Others"!!!

2. The Australian publishing company for Gary's book was WALKABOUT!!! That's what Locke was trying to do in Australia when he wanted to go hunting.

3. The book is about Paul Artisan and he is looking for a missing twin brother. One character Cliff WIDMORE, is the good twin. Cliff so far is matching up to be just like JACK!!! He's the good one and he's taking over his father's business. Even the way he was described as looking was simmilar to Jack. Now, his bad twin brother, Alexander "Zander" WIDMORE, is missing and they are looking for him. Zander is a con artist, sleeps with a lot of women, and he steals money!!! They was he is described is matching up to SAWYER!!!

4. The WIDMORES play a lot into Lost too!!! Two of the characters in the season finale are named Cameron Widmore and Pelonepe Widmore!!! Also in Bad Twin, the Widmore family is really rich!!! There company is based out of New York and they own a construction company (a sign in England for Widmore Construction was shown in Charlie's episode), a housing retail company (Locke worked for Widmore Homes selling/inspecting houses), and labs (Widmore Labs made Sun's pregancy test)!!!! It also said that the Widmores were involved with scientific experiments (Dharma???) and illegal things in other countries!!!

5. The numbers play a huge role in the book too!!! They keep popping up everywhere!!!

6. The character Manny Weissman is a lot like Locke. He's old and was a literature professor of Paul's. He gives advice to Paul a lot and is well trusted by Paul.

7. Manny's dog Argos is a lot like Vincent, except he is a chocolate lab. He was named after the Greek myth were Odysseus' (The Odyssey) dog Argos was the only one who reconised him because he aged. Maybe that's forshadowing Walt getting older rapidly and Vincent???

8. References to old book are mentioned. The epic of Gilgamesh which is stated as the first great buddy story (Eko and Locke???). Beowulf, where a hero's journey is told when confronting a monster on who people project their deepest fears (the smoke monster???). Then their is a mention of Plato's Enchantadas, or enchanted islands with special magic (the island???).

9. The lesson of no one can save another person is heavly represented in the book.

10. The idea of people having a doppelganger, or the bad projection of themselves. Possibly could be a twin. They are brought on by remembering bad parts of their past. (Flashbacks???)

11. The Hanzo Foundation is a part of the Widmore Building in New York. They are partners and Paul accidently went into there. They were all scientist with lab coats, but they all acted mysteriously weird.

12. The Widmores had a big business deal with Paik Heavy Industry in South Korea!!! That's SUN's DAD!!! He is even mentioned in the book too.

13. Cliff's (the Jack character) wife was named Shannon and she died of a sucide. And she supposdly was having an affiar with Zander (the Sawyer character).

14. The storyline of Cliff and Zander is also very simmlar to The Prodigal Son from The Bible.

15. Cliff and Zander's father, Authur so far is starting to sound a lot like Christian Shepherd too. Also, Penelope's dad Charles Widmore is very simmilar to Authur too.

35. The book references John Locke, the philisopher. they say that religion, science, and laws don't matter. We all just need to be happy.

37. Zander was supposedly going to an unkown island in the Pacific for business reasons, after he left Australia.
