"found this jointly authored book (Pamela and Caroline) fascinating insight into the slip into schizophrenia...and also fascinated by the unique bonds between two twins."
"This book is a really interesting autobiography by Carolyn Spiro, an identical twin with schizophrenia. She and her sister go back and forth describing their childhood and college years, into adulthood. It is really interesting to hear Carolyn's account of what happens, altered by her schizophrenia, and then have the gaps filled in by Pamela. There is some inappropriate language (which makes sense when considering the type of disease). It would be suggested for older students.
"Twins- one becomes schizophrenic, one becomes a psychiatrist. Fascinating! They lead you to understand how their perceptions of similar situations changed as their brain chemistries were doing their work."
