    The Virgin Suicides - Jeffrey Eugenides

    I've seen the film a few times, and it's been the subject of a film and television assignment of mine. I love the film a lot, so the novel sounds awesome if the film's awesome.

    I was thinking of reading this, what are people's thoughts?

    I read the book a while ago. I sold it so I don't have it anymore. I think my impression was that there was more going on in the book that we saw in the movie though. If you liked the movie, then you will probably like the book also. I think I remember the Lux character being more "active" in the book than was shown in the film.
    "...if you weren't smart enough to get a pedophile in a dress to put a small amount of water on the child’s forehead, then what the eff did you think was going to happen?
