Saul Diskins extraordinary memoir is rich with unique and wonderful intimacythe intimacy of twinship. For me this made that closest of bonds come alive in a way no other book Ive read has succeeded in doing. Diskin makes one feel like a twin, see the world through a twins eyes, suffer with him in a way that is at times almost unbearably close and poignant. One becomes immersed in the life and death struggle. The medical detail is wonderfully well-done, as are all the relationships. The peculiar and overwhelming nature of twinship is brought out in a way thats both uncannily spirited and wholly down-to-earth; completely unsentimental. The reader participates at every point and on every page in an intimacy that he knows only death can end.

What is it like to lose your mirror-image, your other half, your secret sharer? The End of the Twins is an arresting memoir that evokes the mysteries of twinship and the irrevocability of loss.
