Summary: Over depentent authors' offer poor views of being twins
Comment: Being a twin myself I was looking forward to reading this book co-written by twins, however I was greatly disappointed by the time I finished. The obvious emotional growth problems the authors' had while growing up has caused them to give a skewed view of how twins react to each other and those around them. While being a twin does create a special bond for the two involved the authors forces tales of how being a twin can ruin marriages or other relationships. They lead you to believe that twins will never succeed on their own and that they remain dependent on each other forever. Their lack of research only offered one set of twins that liked being apart, thus they supported their own views. Although one of the authors has her PH.D, no real research was ever done, only surveys. I hope those who read this realize that not all twins grow up still connected by the umbilical cord and that twins can thrive on their own. I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone unless they have a table with one shortened leg on it.

Summary: Great guide for parents of twins
Comment: Being the mother of twins, I am glad to read a book that lets me see what is happening inside the twin relationship. My twins are often in their own world and this book has helped me see what it's like in there! "Dancing Naked" is very informative, yet entertaining. I think all parents of twins should read it - - you'll learn some surprising things about twins.

Summary: Non-twins definitely can learn a few things from twins.
Comment: As a non-twin, I began reading Dancing Naked (given to me by a twin friend) with low expectations. Surprisingly, I thoroughly enjoyed this well-written book. I am now far more aware of the special bond between twins and I will never look at my twin friends in the same way again. I also thank Ms & Ms Sipes for providing me with valuable insight into relationships of all kinds. Non-twins definitely can learn a few things from twins.
