What Members Thought
The mark of high literature is that it presents the reader with difficult questions of humanity and oftentimes forces either internal reflection or a reassessment of one’s current worldview. I found this novel deeply affecting and wildly successful on both counts. It made me feel all the emotions that make us human beings and I didn’t want it to end.
I liked it a lot.
It got a bit boring at the teenages, but all in all, it was a very warm and loving story. It felt like an autobiography. I kept forgetting it wasn't :-D Now, of course, I can't say what the reality of being intersexed is, so maybe I'm wrong, but to me it felt like someone telling their own story.
The ending was very nice.
I heartily recommend this book. It was interesting, had enough of magical realism, history, funny bits, and emotions, to make it a good read. ...more
