Book Review of Middlesex

Middlesex
Middlesex
Author: Jeffrey Eugenides
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 2


This book is on my top 10 all time best book list, out of hundreds. For those who are bored with the history leading up to the main story, you've missed the point. This book is about developing characters and background that impact the main character. This story was not just a story of a hermaphrodite, it is a epic of the impact of immigration, cultures colliding, family tradition, and so much more. For those looking for an entertaining story, this is not the book, but for those who enjoy a book that takes its time in developing the characters and scenes and lets you into the mind of the characters, it is enjoyable.
