I brought this on my honeymoon to read at the beach and it was fantastic. I come from an Italian family and understood where the main character was coming from (and talking about when it came to dishes, etc. they were referencing). It will reach to anyone who has had an extended family around and is trying to sort out where their life starts and family obligation and duty ends.

** spoiler alert ** What an unbelievably bizzare book. Yet... it was awesomely bizzare and I loved it! Middlesex, for me, read like a car wreck (mind you, a car wreck I sped through) because I couldn't look away. There are so many odd twists, turns and curiosities you feel that if you blink you'll miss something. The very first sentence in the book sucks you in and doesn't let you go until the end, all the while setting the tone for the whole novel... "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." That line alone should have told me what I was in store for but I still found myself practically gasping aloud, rereading sentences to make sure I "heard" right, and looking around as if to ask if anyone else had just "saw" what I saw. I didn't expect this from a book I debated about reading for a while. I'm sure you're doing the same thing. If you have the book in hand right now and are wondering if you should read it, do yourself a favor and open it up. I'll give you a couple chapters, if you're either not hooked or seriously too disturbed to keep going, then put it down. I'm going to guess I won't see you for a little while. Of course there are the occasional dry parts. Accounting the whole lifetime of a person (fictional or otherwise) can be a tedious process and it can be hard to figure out what to put in and what to leave out. In Cal/Callie's case, practically every moment that happens to her, her parents and her grandparents set into motion what basically makes Callie into Cal, so who is Eugenides to judge what stays in and what goes? Those dry parts are few and far between though, so no worries. The narration also flows smoothly from an adult Cal/Callie to the younger version without hiccups or the odd imbalance that can sometimes occur when trying to make the same character a different character. Eugenides does it with grace so that you can continue to drive that car through the wreck without any speedbumps or odd debris. I'm not going to say too much more about the book because so much happens I may accidently give something away. My final note is that this book was so realistic at times I had to wonder if this wasn't an autiobiography of some true person actually walking around out there. That is probably the best thing about this book. Real, raw, powerful. Quit the debating, read the book.

I wasn't impressed by this book. First of all, I did not like the main character at all. Also, I didn't feel like I learned anything new about Africa or it's people. Though the writing is in a very sparse style, the story could have been told in a few paragraphs. The ending was completely predictable. I'm not sure why people compare the writing to Hemingway because there isn't the depth that Hemingway is able to establish. The characters seemed to be flat stereotypical Africans.

I love that I know how to take what I like and leave the rest. There are definitely some passages I want to do some journaling about.

Well, not the masterpiece that I thought English Passengers was, but yet still a very entertaining book. If anyone has lived in Asia for any length of time, you'll see several hilarious parallels to your own life. This is the story of an young Englishman stuck in Japan teaching at a crappy English school and dealing with his confusing Japanese girlfriend and her frightening family. I read the entire book on a single bus trip, to give you an idea of what a quick and easy read this is.

This book is an Agnostic criticism of both religious and secular fundamentalism. It is not anti-atheist, but neither is it anti-religious. That said, the book was less of a reasoned argument than an impassioned plea to note that reasoned arguments are not what the New Atheists are providing. Rather, they couple their justified fear of religious fundamentalism with an overly optimistic view of rational scientism's ability to bring about a new world order of moral human progress, then use that overconfidence to justify denigrating all forms of the religious impulse. They represent exactly the wrong response to religious fundamentalism, and Chris Hedges book deserves a reading. While it will offend secular fundamentalists, it offers no respite for religious fundamentalists, and its target audience is the Choir of the Moderate Middle. But considering that every book I've come across by or about Dawkins has been preaching to the Choir, that's not a fatal flaw.
I can't wait to read these again with my girls!!

Listened to this on our road trip back from CA. Very entertaining and lots of good messages. FUN!
Being a huge Sam Elliott fan, I tried to watch the movie a while back but found it a little confusing. Reading the book, I kept hearing Elliott's voice for Conn. I really liked this book--the bad guys still had some honor, and the good guys were genuinely good while still being competent fighters. I flew through this book in 2 days, and now am eager to try watching the movie again. My only complaint was the occasional slow part, but when the action picked up again it was a pleasure to read.
