Customer Reviews

Inspiring, sensitive and fun

I thoroughly enjoyed reading and re-reading this book. The bond and special relationship between twins is felt as you read the individual stories. These stories were extremely well-written and they generated both tears and laughter as I read each of them. The book provides an informative and entertaining insight into the world of twins. The photography was equally superb. This is a beautiful "table top" book. All ages will enjoy it.

An exceptional book that every twin should own!

The Ganz twins were able to capture all the different feelings that twins feel - from a special oneness to feelings of jealousy - and they did it beautifully. Finally there is a book out there just for us (the twins of the world) about us. And, best of all, it was written by twins!

BEAUTIFUL

As a mother of twins I have read a number of books about twins, this one is different. I took it to a Mothers of Twins meeting one night and you would not believe how many women wanted to look at it. Of course we all have something in common, twins! Everyone in the room was warmed by it's beautiful photos and stories. My copy sits out in our living room where my ten year old twin sons can enjoy it. No one can truly understand the special relationship a twin has, but this book puts it all in to prespective. I recommend this book to all.

Heartwarming!

Until looking at this book, I never truly realized the power and mysteriousness of the twin bond. I always knew it was there, my sister and I are closer than I could ever be with anyone else. It used to annoy me--not being alone, not being "my own person". But now I am so thankful for it! This book makes me cry every time I see it. Such close relationships are so beautiful to see.

a great insight into the world of twins.

anyone wanting to know the secret world of read this book. plus if you are the new parents of twins read to find out what you are in store for- its not as bad as you might think!
