Customer Reviews

Interesting and Fun!

This book is a dazzling romp! It's both smart and entertaining at once. I learned more than I expected and urge others to purchase this under-appreciated book!

Makes me want to have a sister!

This is an amazing gem of a book! I've always admired Ellen Stern's writing, and this is some of her best yet! (I do recommend A Passion For Red also). Who knew that Ann Landers and "Dear Abby" were twins? Or that Jackie Kennedy and her sister, Lee, didn't always get along? Pick up this book immediately!

Fascinating, fun, and full of information.

This book is just fascinating! What a fount of information! My two sisters and I love the clever mix of history and humor, photos and illustrations. It's a great gift idea for the person who has everything -- including a sister.
