Book Reviews of The Virgin Suicides
Book Review: "Obviously, Doctor, you've never been a 13-year-old girl."
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw the film when it first came out, and while I found it beautiful, there was something about it that bothered me, that kept me from really LOVING it. Once I read the book, it came full circle for me; everything that made me "question" the film made sense and made me REALLY appreciate it. The book is perfection, playing out like the dreamiest and most delicious (and often times intensely dark) surreality; it's an almost ideallic suburbia. The Virgin Suicides is one of those books where you underline and highlight and copy down passages wishing you'd thought of them. Jeffrey Eugenides has mastered the english language and I would easily recommend both this book and Middlesex to anyone who loves fiction that you can't put down and can never forget.
