I've got to say this is unlike anything else I've ever been exposed to before! The story held my attention completely all the way through, and really made me think - the style of using two narrators voices (perfectly logical in this case) to give different perspectives was a very good idea.

Journal Entry 7 by affinity4books from Bryan, Texas USA on Saturday, September 5, 2009
from batty's box- I chose this one because I've read a couple novelizations of the life of Chang and Eng, the original Siamese twins, and am curious to hear a story about female conjoined twins.

Thanks for sharing!

I was just getting this book ready for release...and I realized I had not listened to it yet! This is a very touching and moving story about two craniopagus twins. I believe the author did a wonderful job of describing the wealth and beauty of two lives well lived. These girls and their adoptive parents created a life of love and despite their limitations, they seemed to have a full life. This book is filled with messages of hope and resilience.
I think the author created an amazing and thoughtful story. I am glad I had the chance to listen to this book.

Journal Entry 19 by Moody-Blue at Whittier, North Carolina USA on Tuesday, May 7, 2013
Interesting... and I liked that I didn't know where it was going. Strangely though, I was disappointed in the end, but I don't have any idea how else it could have ended.

Offered up in iwillrejoice's audiobook VBB, chosen and off on a new adventure.

Yippee, I received this in the mail this afternoon! Thank you for sending this audiobook my way. :-)

Journal Entry 22 by FeistyPom2Love at Carpinteria, California USA on Monday, October 21, 2013
I just finished listening to The Girls and enjoyed it! I thought both Stephanie Zimbalist and Lolita Davidovich gave an excellent dramatic reading. I also liked that this novel was told through the view points of both Rose and Ruby.

At times, I found myself forgetting that I was listening to a novel and not a real memoir!

Some scenes in this novel were painfully sad to, like their interest in Frankie and his blatant disregard for them... Kissing Ruby, but taking Rose's virginity. That whole scene and its outcome left me feeling sad.

The ending of this novel was expected.

I also wrote a review of The Girls on my blog. The see as follows:

A very special book. I liked it, but some parts are ringing hollow: the birth of the childs, the pragnancy, ... but on the whole a very interesting reading.
