    Very Fun & Very Smart Novel

    "Twin Lies" is the perfect novel for folks interested in travel (or the journey motif more generally), feminism, love, jealousy, alienation, family dynamics, subjectivity & sex or Life. This novel is very deceptive. On the surface, you think you are reading a fast-paced book about a very bold woman on the run from her past, but there is so much more going on here! This book asks some pretty big questions about what it means to be a woman, a mother, a sister, a human being in the modern world. Oh & you learn a great deal about twins! I would highly recommend Vonnegut's "Twin Lies" to B & N readers.

    Highly Recommended-What a great book..you have to check it out!

    I couldn't put this book down and finished it in less then 2 days. I always wanted twins. Her story opens yours eyes to what it would it would be like to be a twin. Vonnegut takes you on a world wide adventure from California to Panama and beyond. Total page turner. The characters keep you on the seat of your chair and keeps you turning the page. Great book!
