A review by jedore
Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

5.0

What an incredible writer! After seeing him - along with several intersexuals - on Oprah, my interest was piqued. I absolutely loved this book!!! It meets all of my criteria...great writing, a story that hooks you in and keeps you turning the pages, strong character development. And this book gave you a cherry on top...an education on what we grew up knowing as 'hermaphrodite', but never really understood (hence, thought was 'weird'). Nothing weird here...just a person struggling with a medical and psychological challenge. I highly recommend this book!
