Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Twin Stories: Their Mysterious and Unique Bond delves deep into the special connection twins share through tales from some of the world's 73 million or so sets. Susan Kohl, a mother of twins herself, sheds some light on the topic, discussing childhood pranks, spoken and unspoken communication, competition, separation and, finally, loss. Many of her stories are culled from the annual twin festival held in Twinsburg, Ohio. While many stories reveal uncanny details about twin life, most twins will find them prosaic.

My husband is a twin. His twin brother died suddenly (heart) in January 2018. While searching the internet for support I came across this book. It has been helpful to me in particular as I support my husbands loss

1.0 out of 5 stars A great disappointment
Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2005
Verified Purchase
Married to an identical twin I have always been fascinated by their unique bond and thought this book would be interesting. Unfortunately, this book sheds absolutely no light on anything about twins and is very frustrating and very boring to read. Kohl jumps around continuously with no more than one paragraph devoted to discussion of each incident she reports. Her work is shallow and has absolutely no scientific basis or research behind it -- neither hers nor anyone elses whom she might have chosen to reference but does not. Her explanations have no more depth than a conversation with a stranger on a bus. She is at best a reporter of snipets of conversation that she gathered at a twins convention. This book was not worth the money and would only be useful to someone who has never encountered, known or even heard about twins. I was greatly disappointed.

Extremely close to my identical twin, I saw this book on-line and thought it would make a wonderful gift for my twin sis. She hasn't finished reading all of it yet (when she does finish it, I will be able to borrow it and read it too.)but she told me how much she is enjoying it.

4.0 out of 5 stars The perfect gift book
Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2006
I actully purchased two copies of this book -- one for myself and one for my friend who was having twins. I thought this book was the perfect read for anyone who was about to have twins in their family. It was not a heavy research book, like Nancy Segal's Entwined Lives (which was excellent, by the way). It was more of a charming compilation of quotes and stories by twins about being twins. There were so many questions that you wouldn't actually have the nerve to ask twins, about romance or how their parents treated them, that were answered. I think anyone who considers buying this book should have their expectations set. It is not full of pure scientific research, it's all qualitative research., meaning face-to-face interviews. The stories are true. You hear about twins having similar pain or coincidental life experiences. This book has a lot of examples of each. You hear things about "good twin,bad twin." In this book, parents really do label their kids like that. I think one of the most important messages in this book is that we all should recognize twins as individauls and not as one person. I think we should all be aware also of how a twin must feel when the other twin dies. This, too, is covered in the book from their viewpoints. It is a fun-to-read book that also opens eyes. It would make the pertfect baby shower gift. I enjoyed it very much.

2.0 out of 5 stars For the twin curious, this may be an amusing book . . .
Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2005
but for anyone close to a twin (or even a twin) this book is very vague. The book glazes over the topics in a twins life that truly make them unique and repeats the same things throughout. There are many other aspects of the twin bond that are not even approached by this author. Though I must admit, I was very impressed by the fact that the mother of 6 year old twins was brave enough to venture into the area of the twinless twins, a subject that many twins dare not think about out of fear of being the remaining twin. Approaching this topic and allowing the reader the opportunity to broach a subject that will be life altering for half of the worlds twins in itself is a good reason to read this book. Probably the only good reason. Overall, the book was a difficult read because of the repetition and topic hopping back and forth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Real insight into twins - buy this book
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2004
I really, really liked this book for a number of reasons. First, I have never seen a book like this about twins. These are personal stories from real people. Second, it's fun. This book answers a lot of the questions I know most people are too embarrased to ask. Third, it's not a heavy book like some on the market today. And last, it's a great book to pass around or give as a gift. My wife says it is the perfect baby shower gift for an expecting mother of twins. I am a twin. I am a critic. I really liked this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book!
Reviewed in the United States on December 31, 2004
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stories from the Souls of Twins
Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2001
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!
