A review by shnuggs
Half Life by Shelley Jackson

3.0

Weird. I was drawn to the book because of the main theme - conjoined twins. Who isn't fascinated by conjoined twins? The main characters are Blanche and Nora (get it - white and black - lots of cool stuff like that in the book). Nora wants to have a twin-ectomy in essence, as Blanche has been in a vegetative state for years - or has she? There's lots of stuff about atomic energy, "twofer" politics and dollhouses. Like I said at the beginning - weird. But well written. One of the author's other "books" is a series of tattoos that tell a story - I'll have to check that out!
