A review by robynryle
Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

3.0

I've read this before, but am doing it again (no easy task) for book group. I don't know how much patience I have for the epic, first-person novel. Is there some conceit in going on for over 500 pages, basically about yourself, as if your own life story is the story of the world? I would put Midnight's Children in this category, as well.
