Jackson's nonsensational journalistic style produces an evenhanded discussion of "twinness." The text outlines the scientific details of egg splitting and recounts several stories of twin phenomena, looking at what it would be like to have a twin sibling. Jackson also covers reasons for twins both to share and not share common characteristics. The photo-essay format results in an appealing magazine-style layout. Glos.
