<DIV>A New York Times Notable Book for 1998<p>Critical acclaim for Lawrence Wright's<p>A Rhone-Poulenc Science Prize Finalist<p>"This is a book about far more than twins: it is about what twins can tell us about ourselves."—The New York Times<p>"With plenty of amazing stories about the similarities and differences of twins, Wright respectfully shows, too, how their special circumstance in life challenges our notions of individuality. A truly fascinating but sometimes spooky (Mengele's experiments with twins at Auschwitz figure among Wright's examples) study."—American Library Association<p>"Like so much of Wright's work, this book is a pleasure to read. Because he writes so well, without pushing a particular point of view, he soon has you pondering questions you have tended to comfortably ignore."—Austin American-Statesman<p>"Informative and entertaining . . . a provocative subject well considered by a talented journalist."—Kirkus Reviews</div>
