This a fantastic book. I would say that those who have seen the movie or have a good imagination would enjoy the book more, but I am no expert. Either way, I really enjoyed this book.

McKibben got a group of friends to tape all 24 hours of television available on the 103 channels in his area and then he watched every hour. After he recovered from this media deluge, he wrote about his experience and compared it to 24 hours spent far away from a television screen. Fascinating and well-written.

Worth pushing through the unconventional narrative to get through a rich, emotional, unique story...read this two weeks before the 10th annversary of 9/11.
First off...Bravo to Oprah for selecting such a fine book for her book club! Oprah does not treat her book club members like fluff heads...this is a smart book which assumes the reader is smart too. Middlesex is a long book and a dense book. It is epic in scope. I found it slow to get going, it bogged down in detail in the middle for me, but the end was sublime as all the parts fit together. I was blown away. Middlesex deals with some topics we don't want to think about...war, brother sister sexual relationships, intermarriage, assimilation of immigrants, urban decline, race relations, white flight, and not to mention ambiguous gender. And yet all of these topics are dealt with tenderly...compassionately...humanely. The details were remarkable...one of my favorites was the character Marius Wyxzewixard Challouehliczilczeze Grimes (what a name!) who tells Callie that Cleopatra was a Greek, that she was a Ptolemy, and therefore he calls Callie Little Cleo...but he never mentions that Cleopatra was married to the brother! I don't know that I would want to read this book at the beach...I'd prefer something lighter. I really feel like I would like to read it again soon because I'm sure I missed a lot the first time around. Great read!

The fact that I get to bring up the stories in this book frequently in my 5/6th grade class should say it all. It's interesting, exciting and stays with you. And McPhee wrote it which means you had fun while you were reading it too, not just when you're retelling the stories.

"It is said that the personal is political. That is not true, of course. At the core of the fight for political rights is the desire to protect ourselves, to prevent the political from intruding on our personal lives. Personal and political are interdependent but not one and the same thing.... The realm of imagination is a bridge between them, constantly refashioning one in terms of the other." Nafisi's memoir covers a lot of ground (way more than the promotional blurbs would suggest) in relating her experiences living in Iran under fundamentalist Islamic rule, as a woman, and as an academic, and specifically as a scholar of Western literature. She does not tell an especially coherent, linear narrative: she wanders, and she knows it, and she can't help it. She needs so badly to be true to her experience, and neat little narrative lines feel insincere to her. So she superimposes a structure by correlating themes in her life with critical observations about books important to her (Lolita, The Great Gatsby, Henry James, and Jane Austen). It works, but it worked for me especially well in the first two sections of the book ("Lolita" and "Gatsby") because I'd actually read the books she was discussing. Her observations on both literature and fundamentalist revolution are potent, and she expresses them with passion.

I'm going to have to write this review without the book at hand since I gave it to a friend so I might not be able to refer to parts of the book accurately. Initially I liked the book. I thought it started out well and I liked the writing style. But early on the author made some statements which really bothered me. (Please remember the statement I made earlier in regards to accuracy) The first one I came across was in reference on how she felt sorry for people who basically chose to live in their houses, work, etc, because basically they weren't living a true life. Now, who the heck is this woman to tell other people how to live their lives. If someone wants to raise their family in the "traditional sense" who cares!? as long as that is that person's idea of happiness. Now, occassionally I would prefer to live a life of Nomad-ship myself but would never pity people for not choosing to live that type of life. The next thing she did that made me basically close the book for good was state that she was now "one" with the indigenous people of one of the villages--that there were no distance between them. She says this simply because she spent a weekend away from the village in a beach town as this indigenous family spent. So, Rita, who is not a rich woman but compared to these people her income is quite large, who can leave the village and this way of life at any time, pay for better hotel at any time, buy food at any time, leave the country at any time, (you get my drift) is now at one with this family? Ummm....I think not. Maybe she becomes a little less self centered later in the book but I just didn't want to waste my time finding out. Abandoned the book around page 70.
