“This is one of my favorite books. I just love Jeffrey Eugenides and as far as I'm concerned, this is his best work. I could (and do) read it over and over again. Although I'm guilty of seeing the movie before reading the book, I still think that I give appropariate love to the novel itself. His writing is just so poetic and dreamy. I was honestly shocked that this book was written by a man because it's so in touch with the feminine psyche and adolescence in general. Don't even get me started about this book- I could go on forever. The narration style, the characters, the unique writing, how it all feels like it's read through the film of mystery and age.... just perfect.”
