The Two: A Biography of the Original Siamese Twins
By: Irving Wallace, Amy Wallace
Narrated by: Michael Adashefski
This is a book I received free from Audioboom and the review is voluntary. I suppose a great deal of people are fascinated with these two people even today, I know I am. They were attached yet lived a long productive life but that's about the extent of my knowledge. This book really filled in lots of gaps. It follows the twins from birth until after death. Their travels, what they learned on their trips, how they made a living, their wives, their in-laws, how they survived living with a large household of children and two wives (two houses and rules!), things about their children, and more.
It also went into how they died, what happened and when. What happened to the body and more.
It also told about each twins personality as they were growing up, how it changed. What they could do even attached to each other that astonished others.
I found this a very personable look into their lives and not a book of facts about them. I came away from this feeling glad I had a glimpse into their lives, even if it was only through a window of the past. I felt I knew them a little. They weren't just a freek show oddity but a pair of intelligent, loving, family men that contributed to their community and handled a difficult lifelong situation far better than I could ever dream of.

Very detailed, had an abundance of historical information which made the telling come to life. ( )

Growing up in North Carolina, I had heard of the original Siamese Bunker twins, Chang and Eng, since childhood and was fascinated by such a hyphenated life. I think it may have been a Life magazine story that riveted me at the beginning. When this book came out in the 70's, I was living overseas and didn't have a chance to read it. Then recently, the novel Chang and Eng, was published, which renewed my interest in the twins. I'm very glad I followed up the novel with this biography, which is the more satisfying of the two books, and highly recommend anyone who reads the one to read the other as well. ( )

A fascinating and exhaustive examination of Chang and Eng. The first widely-known and commercially promoted conjoined twins are followed from their birth through their performing years to their retirement and the raising of their very large families. (And yes, there is a little discussion of the logistics of their marriages, but nothing crude.) Their deaths were, of course, almost simultaneous. That chapter is very sad, as readers feel they have come to know the two. ( )
