Narration Concering Books The Virgin Suicides
The shocking thing about the girls was how nearly normal they seemed when their mother let them out for the one and only date of their lives. Twenty years on, their enigmatic personalities are embalmed in the memories of the boys who worshipped them and who now recall their shared adolescence: the brassiere draped over a crucifix belonging to the promiscuous Lux; the sisters' breathtaking appearance on the night of the dance; and the sultry, sleepy street across which they watched a family disintegrate and fragile lives disappear.

The Reading Rush day 2: Read a book and watch the adaptation.★★ /5Sadly, this wasnt my cup of tea. This wasnt a bad book, but I just didnt care about anything that happed to characters. The story itself wasnt bad; I definitely see what I tried to do. I dont have a lot to say; because it simply wasnt something I enjoyed or was interested in.Once, when I was 13, my father came home early from work and asked to see my yearbook. It was the last day of junior high, and I remember that I leaned against the kitchen counter, cracking my knuckles, and watched as he slowly turned the glossy pages, reading all of the comments that had been written by my friends. He was silent the entire time he was reading, but when he finished, he handed me back my yearbook and said, I loved being a teenager, but I wouldn't be one now for anything in the
All readers bring to their identifications their histories, and in this book, who you identify withthe voyeurs or the object of their voyeurismmay inform your reactions. If you identify with the people who are looking, you may feel uneasy, uncomfortable with what you are doing; you may even feel repelled by the story and prefer distance from the family you are watching; or you may imagine you understand more than you possibly could. If you identify with the family being looked at, you may
Sometimes, you just know when you have found a truly great novelist and Jeffrey Eugenides is one such novelist. I initially rated this book four stars but no, it deserves a five star rating . And where have I been since 1999? On some desert island? How did I not possibly know of this wonderful gem of a book? Mr Eugenides has shot onto my favourite author list and I've ordered Middlesex and The Marriage Plot from my bookseller. This is a haunting, dreamlike, atmospheric and raw novel. Told from
I don't even really know what to say. I think maybe a few people are going to be disappointed that I didn't give this five stars, and I mean, I'm upset that it wasn't five stars either, but hear me out.The thing I liked the most about this book is the perspective. We're learning about 5 girls who commit suicide.. and we NEVER hear anything substantial from any of the sisters? It was genius. The way this book was written is brilliant. Honestly, every couple of pages I would think to myself "When
So much better the second time around (and I loved it the first, so...)Gorgeous, creepy. A suburban mythology. At first, I couldn't shake images from the film, which I thought might detract from really appreciating it as a novel, but in the end it didn't. I think that's because I realized Sofia Coppola had done a remarkable job adapting the text. I mean, holy shit, it's pretty much perfect. Such a moody novel with sparse dialogue, but what is there, is so right on (and often funny)... GUSHHHH.
suicide isn't the happiest of topics. the suicides of five sisters is even less pleasant. how do you recommend a book to someone on such a grim topic? easy: just read it. what eugenides does so well is capture the mystery of secluded sisters, as seen through the eyes of neighborhood boys. this is important in reading the novel. it's not necessarily the lisbon sisters' story, but rather the boys' story, and how the suicides affected them all the way into adulthood (the boys are now men and they
