The Silent Twins
The Silent Twins | Marjorie Wallace
3 posts | 6 read | 1 to read
When identical twins, June and Jennifer Gibbons were three they began to reject communication with anyone but each other, and so began a childhood bound together in a strange and secret world. As they grew up, love, hate and genius united to push them to the extreme margins of society and, following a five week spree of vandalism and arson, the silent twins were sentenced to a gruelling twelve-year detention in Broadmoor. Award-winning investigative journalist Marjorie Wallace delves into the twins' silent world, revealing their genius, alienation and the mystic bond by which the extremes of good and evil ended in possession and death.

Mehso-so

This book should have been so much more interesting. I'm not sure if it was the writer or just how unlikable the girls were, but I just wanted it to be over. Not to mention that things get real repetitive when your main characters have selective mutism. I just wish I would have spent time on a book I really enjoyed. Their case is interesting, but check out Wikipedia instead of reading this.

I finished The Snake Pit yesterday & picked this up. I had started it last year and lost interest...I hate when great stories get really repetitive. I don't read a lot of non-fiction so it hurts when I move out of my comfort zone and it doesn't work! Lol
