I love the musical Side Show so I wanted to know more about the real Daisy and Violet Hilton. This was a very entertaining read, fast-paced and fascinating. It's amazing how the twins were once the toast of society but ended up forgotten and penniless in a trailer park. Definitely a worthwhile read. (

A fascinating biography of the famous conjoined twins of the Vaudeville era. The book bogs down in places, but the story is fascinating from their birth to their very sad ending. (

Absolutely compelling! Once you get past the first couple of chapters, that is. I was completely drawn in by this fascinating, true story of conjoined twins who (as the back says) go from rags to riches to rags. Highly recommended! (

Very interesting account of the fascinating lives of conjoined twins. Occasionly the writer lapses into rather romanticised, almost fiction style writing, which is unnecessary as the story is more than strong enough to carry itself without this. He's obviously done a great deal of research and the fiction style detracts from this.
