Raising twins seems like a lot of work because you cannot stop them from doing things like this. The bond is so strong.

We don't have a twin in my family. But I happen to have met this twin in my school and I could relate them to the description the author gave. Their life is so unique and mind-blowing.

One of the reasons I love twins is the bond they share, it's just always strong and unbreakable. It's only on rare occasions that you find twins without love for each other.

The connection between them was so strong. It really showed how siblings should be towards each other. I hate when I see rivalry among siblings instead of love.

I love that the twin could openly express their love and fondness for each other. Most times twins compete against each other. But these two decided to team up. It was both of them against the world.

I'm guessing it's a very deep connection. Personally, I don't know because I don't have a twin. What I've observed is that, regardless of how much twin siblings love each other, parents must encourage the development of independence and individual identity.

Twins are always close with each other. I detested the punishment sharing policy. It was awful, and highlights how bad Joey was at parenting.

I do feel they shared a deep connection and love for themselves. I love how connected they were and how their mother tried so hard to lead them through the right path.

The twin bond in the book was described as a strong, loving bond. It was like being born with a best friend attached :lol: however I didn't like the punishment sharing policy because at the end they are individuals, their own persons. So that was unfair.

I loved how the author describes the twins so well anyone who has a twin of has stayed with would be able to relate to what the author is saying. However, there should be a set boundary.

I liked the description of the twin boys, their personalities, what they has to share, their minds and their unique way of thinking.

I think that twins have a closer relationship as portrayed in the book.

It is just like that for all twins. Their bond is so strong that it doesn't even matches triplets' relationship. It becomes stronger if they grew up together, get punished together and relate well

I guess they really are each other's keeper. As a parent, policy or no policy, I will punish the wrongdoer but if the other twiin wants to take the fall for the other, I will punish both. In this book, the twins display true brotherhood and affection for one another.
