The Same but Different: How Twins Can Live, Love,… por Joan A. Friedman
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.Okay...I've finally given up. It's not even THAT long a book, but I cannot force myself to finish it. I just found it to be SO repetitive, covering the same ground over and over again, with different "case studies" of adult twins. Maybe it would do better if it was framed as a research paper? I'm a mother of pre-teen twins, being raised to be very independent of each other, and was hoping it would have more helpful hints than reports of the aftermath for these adult twins. Disappointing.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.I was happy to receive this advanced reader copy. I am also the mother of twins and this book shared lots of insight for that special situation. I know my girls struggle with everyone seeing them as an individual and not just one of "the girls," and this book gave me some great information. I think I may have my two girls read it as they get older and see it they get as much out of it as I did. Thanks for writing it.
Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing.I received this book as part of the Early Reviewers Group at librarything.com. I highly recommend this book and gave it five stars, not because it was free, but because it is actually that good and helpful. This book will help twins and other multiples to deal with issues that are difficult to understand if not born into a family with twins or multiples. I have twins and will try to get them both to read this book so they know that the difficulties they have with one another are normal. My twins have developed a sense of individuality since birth, but I have watched them struggle with being seen as one person by extended family members, at school and by acquaintances. It has made their relationship difficult at times. As a mother this information will help me better guide my twins may get frustrated with one another. The Same but Different: How Twins Can Live, Love, and Learn to Be Individuals is well written, easy to understand and beneficial to anyone trying understand the relationship between twins. It covers many twinship issues that may be experienced in adulthood and provides recommendations on how to deal with these issues.… (más)
