Evil Twins : Chilling True Stories of Twins, Killing and Insanity

Rating:
Summary: Poor poor editing!
Review: Although the book is interesting, the editing in this book is horrid, which makes me wonder about the validity of this book. For example, in one story, there's a person named Shawn. However, possibly in the next sentence the author spelled the name Sean. Just little things like that. And he had quotes from people who were no longer living. If it's a book based on true crime, there shouldn't be any embellishments. It's was okay, but certainly not the best true crime book.

Summary: This book is definite keeper.
Review: I read this book in one sitting. I was mesmerized by the content and the depth of the various stories. It was amazing to me how similar a lot of the twins were in regards to the behavoir pattern. I'll definitely be reading it again. The author has a real way of sucking you into the lives of the twins. I just wanted more information. It was a very good book. I could not put it down!!!!!!

Summary: Absolutely Fascinating
Review: This is a book I finished in one day. I am a major fan of true crime stories and this is one of the best collections I've read in eons, never knew how twins could turn bad! I gathered from many of these stories that there is usually one twin more domineering than the other, something that starts in infancy. Some stories are really horrifying, others are just plain outrageous. Every one is a page turner and you'll never be bored. Highly recommended, especially for those fascinated by the study of twins. I gave the book 4 stars due to several typos, but otherwise it's a great read.

Summary: What was I thinking of????
Review: When I was pregnant, I often wished for twins - just get it out of the way at once. Give each child a sibling.....what was I thinking of? This creepy tour through twins true crime and the irrevocable bonds of dual psychosis was not the usual real life crime book. I became increasingly uncomfortable as I read first the deed and then the personal history of the twins which led up to it. It was interesting and yet garishly tabloid-like and left me feeling even more disturbed than usual. Not for the squeamish.
