great read

rono42 from texas, Oct 1, 2008

I could NOT put this book down. Picked it up because it was written by the same author as Virgin Sucides (another great book). It took the author nearly 5 years to write this book and it was well worth the wait. Don't let the topic scare you. It isn't about the he/she sleeping around or anything like that. It's a great story of someone finding themselves and then finding their family history. The story jumps from generations, but personally I couldn't put the book down because I was so interested to get back to each of the stories within the book.Great Read!Pick it up and Enjoy!And u cant beat overstock's price!

Middlesex

coann from Michigan, Jun 27, 2008

Often times I was very confused with this book. I seemed to jump around alot and was just very hard for me to get into. Not something you should pick up if your looking for a light easy read but if your interested in trangender issues then obviously this book tells a good story.

An amazing book, full of fascinating detail and historical information, that reads so well you don't want to put it down. One of the best novels I've read.
