The Virgin Suicides is one of my favorite books. It was really well written and the movie made of it was not too bad. The book is a type of recollection of the lives of five sisters, admired from afar from a group of five friends. The boys kept records of the girls odd lives and ultimately never forgot them even after the girls all passed away. The group of sisters led a life that was different from people their age at that time. They were mostly kept inside and were never really allowed to have friends over. This was the believed cause of their suicides. The main reason I love this book so much is because the reason for the suicides is still unknown. It leaves a mystery to the book that I thought was well thought out.
