A review by inksuinka
Middlesex by Nathan Osgood, Jeffrey Eugenides
4.0
Hmm. I have a hard time reviewing Middlesex. I expected to really love this book based on reviews and the subject matter, but it didn't quite live up to the expectations. It's not that there was anything I disliked about the book, I liked the whole story that spanned for three generations from Greece to Turkey to Michigan to California. There were many individual storylines and I enjoyed them all, but didn't really invested into any of them and the book didn't envoke big emotions, which to me is a requirement of a great book. I appreciate the exploration of being intesex, enjoyed the Greek culture and really liked the ending of Middlesex.
"My family found that, contrary to popular opinion, gender was not all that important. My change from girl to boy was far less dramatic than the distance anybody travels from infancy to adulthood. In most ways I remained the same I’d always been."
