The Childhood of a Greek Hermaphrodite - Middlesex
I have been reading Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides for weeks. I'd seen it several times while browsing and carousing through Borders and Barnes & Noble, but I really hadn't paid much notice to it until it became a recent Oprah Book Club pick. Pulitzer Prize Winner Eugenides tells this story through... Read full review »
Middlesex - Pulitzer Prize novel - epic Greek American tale
There is something not quite right about Calliope Stephanides, and "Middlesex" is about her journey of discovery. The story covers three generations of her Greek-American family starting in a small Greek village and ending on the doorstep of the Detroit home where Calliope grew up and never quite...

THREE GENERATIONAL TALE OF THE GOOD AND BAD IN AMERICA
"Middlesex" is one of the most amazing books that I have ever read. It is humorous, painful, realistic and full of fantasy of a sort. Jeffrey Eugenides' first novel, "The Virgin Suicides" was an acclaimed bestseller that I have not read. "Middlesex" won the Pulitzer Prize in Literature. While the... Read full review »
Dissenting Opinion Here - Middlesex Bored Me
I always find it easier to write a review of a book I feel passionate about. If I love a book like crazy, the words jump from my fingertips. If I can't stand a book, I find the words flow fairly easily as well. It's a book like Middlesex that give me trouble. This is a book that leaves me flat... Read full review »

Teen Hermaphrodites: It's All Greek to Me
Wouldn't it be cool to be Greek? I think it would. Of course, my knowledge of Greek culture is pretty limited, and can actually be summarized in the following 3 points:
1.Gyros taste pretty good.
2. "Baklava" is fun to say.
3. I like the Pirate's Pizza commercial where the little old...

Much more than just the tale of a hermaphrodite.
Because I loved Jeffrey Eugenides first novel, The Virgin Suicides, I anxiously awaited his next offering. I ordered it without reading much about it and was a little put off by the synopsis. I more or less expected another Boys Don't Cry with a Greek Spin.
What Euginides gives us is so...

Quite the Compelling Tale
"I was born twice: first, as a baby girl, on a remarkably smogless Detroit day in January of 1960; and then again, as a teenage boy, in an emergency room near Petoskey, Michigan, in August of 1974."
From the moment I read that very first line, I was hooked on this book. This is the...

Both Sides Now
Jeffrey Eugenides richly deserves the Pulitzer Prize the novel received.
The novel traces the main character Callie's origins from before her birth to the present and explores every kind of middle ground, most notably that of gender identity. Hence the title...
From Callie's...

Dealing With What We're Dealt
How do I write a book review without seeming completely besotted by the book? Before I try, let me say that "Middlesex" was one of the best novels I've read this year, or the last, for that matter.
Jeffrey Eugenides captures the reader from the very beginning. We are not sure who...
