4.0 out of 5 stars flawed, but worth reading
This work by Bari Wood is not a mere novelization of the 1988 David Cronenberg movie, since Wood's book was written some time before the movie came out. Thus, while the plot of the book resembles the movie, there are a number of differences. With this book, you do get a much more detailed view of the twins and their world. "Twins" is definitely not for everyone...

1.0 out of 5 stars Very disturbing
After reading Bari Woods' "The Killing Gift" I just had to find more of her writings. It's extremely well written but so disturbing that I wish I had never read it. I'm no prude but the incestuous homosexuality goes from bad to "badder". The characters are well developed but the subject is so depressing that I felt sick after reading it.

This review is from: Twins: Dead Ringers (Paperback)

Thus, while the plot of the book resembles the movie, there are a number of differences. With this book, you do get a much more detailed view of the twins and their world. "Twins" is definitely not for everyone though(some parts of the book are quite explicit and/or graphic), but if you liked the Dead Ringers movie, I'd recommend checking this book out.
