What did you think of Virgin Suicides? I saw the movie way back when it came out, not knowing it was a book then re-discovered it after I had read Middlesex (which I LOVED). I then re-watched the movie and loved it more.

I didn't know what to expect with this book. I enjoyed the telling of the story more than the story itself. It is going to make for a great discussion at my next book club.
