Customer Reviews

Excellent book!

This is a terrific book. It gives real-life examples of what twins themselves really think about being a twin. It is a fun and easy read of which I enjoyed to no end. I have purchased this book as a gift for twins, parents of twins, and even teachers. I think everyone should read this book to truly understand what it's like to be a twin. Loved it.

You Don?t Need to be a Twin to Appreciate ?Twin Stories?

For those of you that think that "Twin Stories" will only be of interest to those folks that happen to be a twin, I can honestly say that nothing can be further from the truth. As a non-twin I found Susan Kohl's stories about the unique bond between twins very touching, fun and enlightening. Like many other people, I have also been inquisitive about what its like to be a twin. "Twin Stories" provides a nice little "peek" into the lives of all kinds of twins, without shedding too much of the mystery...

Captures all aspects of Twinship---even loss of twin

This is a much needed book for anyone who is a twin or a twinless twin. It captures all aspects of the bond and even the bond that exists for those whom lost their other shortly after birth. It is absolutely wonderful reading! I have purchased many to give to my family members, for I am a twinless twin.It will help them understand the bond that is there, no matter of a loss or not. It truly is an exceptional book, written with so much knowledge and compassion. I give it my highest recommendation.

Stories from the Souls of Twins

It is said that "everybody has a twin". Reading Twin Stories put me in touch with what it would be like growing up and old with my twin, if I had one. In a wonderfully lyrical way the author uses the true stories of twins to give her readers a perspective of what it would be like to grow up as a twin, taking the reader on a journey of what is know about twins from a scientific perspective and then into the emotional journey of sharing, loving, and loosing a twin spirit.This is a beautiful book for anyone who is interested in the unique bond of twins and perspective of being a twin. Whether you are related to or have the chance to know twins personally, Twin Stories brings into focus the special relationship and is a celebration of "Twinness". I recommend you buy it, read it, and pass it on along to a close friend, or buy two!

Best Twins book I have ever read

As a mother of twins, and a daughter of a twin I have always been interested in the special bond between twin siblings.Susan Kohl did a wonderful job of weaving in the heart felt stories from twins of every age group. Twins Stories made me laugh and cry from the stories of identical twins Nuns to the pain and loss of loosing a twin from the perspective of the surviving twin.I highly recommend this book to anybody who knows a twin, expecting twins, or just interested in reading personal stories that will warm your soul.This book was a joy to read.
