Required for all Sibling Incest Survivors
As the survivor of over 15 years of sibling sexual abuse, this book was a godsend. For the first time, sibling incest was legitimized and shown to be just as damaging, if not more so, than parent/child incest. Very supportive and helpful.

Good but kowtows to feminist dogma
This is an excellent book about this subject, which is admittedly a very difficult one to discuss. Unfortunately, the author felt obligated at one point to couch the discussion in terms of men's supposed need to control women -- despite the fact that many of the abusive siblings were female. One gets the impression that the author was forced to do this by an feminist editor or as the result of pressure from academic colleagues. He even cites Straus, Gelles & Steinmetz, without mentioning that their research confirmed that wives are as violent as husbands. What's interesting about this is that anyone who's been around feminist academics can't possibly be blind to the fact that women can be incredibly controlling and are capable of all kinds of interesting revenge when thwarted.
