Chang and Eng by Darin Strauss

3.0

I really wanted to like this book. The idea that two people would be stuck together for life, and so close to each other without any privacy or separation, is really the misbegotten basis for Western romantic love, isn't it? Instead, you have siblings who can never spend time apart from each other except in their own heads. How does that work, exactly? What happens when they want to masturbate for example and the sex thing just didn't seem very well worked out. I know they must've talk to each other more, but the story didn't make it seem as though they communicated to each other very much. I can't imagine not getting along, there are conjoined twins Who have their own TV show, I think I'll go watch that instead.
