Book Review of The Silent Twins: A true story of love and hate, dreams and desolation, genius and destruction

mimih avatar reviewed on + 9 more book reviews


The true story of June & Jennifer Gibbons. Twins girls who rarely spoke to outsiders, even their own family. This book goes into their world, into their minds which are full of the love/hate relationship that I think most twins share. In this case one twin is stronger than the other and uses her power over the other throughout their lives. They stay in their silent world straying out rarely. They pour their hearts out in diary's, poems, short stories and even a novel.I found this book interesting because I myself have twin boys. I only gave it 3 stars because the writing style is a bit tedious.
