Review title: unconvincing
Product review: Unconvincing fictional account of the lives of Chang and Eng, told in the first person. First person fictional novels about real people are usually unconvincing - this is a long narrative of Eng's thoughts, about which the author could know nothing. Therefore, it seems to me to be an account of how the author thinks he would feel if he were Eng - which is rather self-indulgent of the author. Add to that the fact that the author's point of view is 20th/21st century while the events he discusses occurred in the 19th century and you see why the book is so unconvincing.
