The Virgin Suicides (edit title)

• Rated 4 stars

“Seductive, sexy, deadly, hilarious, sad.”

• Rated 1 stars

“I wanted to love this atmospheric book, but alas, it didn't do a thing for me. Watch the movie instead.”

• Rated 5 stars

“This book is so incredibly well written that the pages and chapters fly by with an intriguing anticipation. The narrator and pov are uniquely compelling and the mystery of what you don't know about the characters is more motivating to continue than what you do know. Eugenides is a true master at characterization.”

• Rated 5 stars

“Sad story of the suicides of all the daughters of a family. An insight into the girls minds.”

• Rated 4 stars

“The first time I read this book I wasn't sure I liked it but upon re-reading it, I've discovered what a beautiful and brilliant book it truly is. The movie is different but equally as brilliant in its own way.”

• Rated 5 stars

“Wonderful and tragic.”

• Rated 5 stars

“This is an amazing book. Although this is fiction, Eugenides words flow as if it is a memoir, and he is recalling memories of his adolescense.”

• Rated 4 stars

“Beautiful and startling characters.. still leaves me with many questions. Haunting.”

• Rated 5 stars

“This is a beautiful book. After reading it a few years back, I placed it on my bookshelf at school in hopes that one of my students would pick it up and read something good for once. The title certainly elicited a few snickers (I was teaching eighth graders at the time), but I dared a particularly silly thirteen-year-old boy to actually read it instead of mock it, and he agreed to give it a try. He wound up really, really liking it. What better endorsement could there be? ”
