Bana AZ (anabana_a) | 414 comments I'm choosing this book, too! I've wanted to read it ever since I saw a tv interview of Eugenides about this book. It seems like it'll be one of those mind-opening books. Good luck to us.


Patricia Passos (pati_r) | 2 comments I'm thinking about reading this book too. I've read so many wonderful reviews. Hope we all like it! :)


Candice Mcmullen | 5 comments I bought this book based on the cover and I'm glad I did. It is definitely a book that is hard to put down once you've started reading it.


Bana AZ (anabana_a) | 414 comments I'm about 30% in. I didn't expect so much of the book to be about Cal's grandparents. Like while I'm reading, I feel like I'm still waiting to read more of Cal's actual life instead of the family history. I'm enjoying it, nonetheless.


Adrien Meslier (adrienm) | 10 comments Great choice !
Enjoy your reading :)


Tricia (drakmom) | 17 comments I'm about half way through. There is a lot of family history in the book but it is holding my interest so far.


misplacedselchie | 347 comments Cal's grandparents and all the family history stuff is very important so don't lose hope yet!

Cris (cris_lectora) I loved this book. When I read it I also felt a bit confused at first that we weren't learning about Cal's life, but the family history is so compelling that you don't really mind that it was not what you expected :)

Hope you enjoy it!

Bana AZ (anabana_a) | 414 comments I'm done with it and I loved it. I'm so glad I joined this challenge. It gave me the push I needed to finally read this book. I reviewed it, too.


Tricia (drakmom) | 17 comments Ok. I finished it. It was not quite what I was expecting. Overall, it was a decent read. I did enjoy the family history. Also a good book of self discovery.


Monique Baez | 47 comments Beginning this today. I'm glad folks are saying it's a smooth read. This will be one of the longer books I take on.
