Journal Entry 1 by chambejd from Worcester, Massachusetts USA on Saturday, March 24, 2007

I read this book a couple of years ago so I'm going to send it out as a small US-only bookray. Please PM me to join.

My thoughts of the book from the other book's journal entry... I enjoyed this book overall. The first 300 pages were difficult for me to get through, but after that the book started to pick up and I couldn't put it down. It was very educational.

I've wanted to read this book for a long time. And I'm glad I got the chance to read it - finally. I enjoyed the book quite a lot. I especially liked the family saga (a VERY disfunctional family) Cal/Callie was a wonderful narrator. I learned a lot about the history of Detroit and about the family secret whose product is Ca. Truly a novel with epic scope!!

Waiting for NerdyBookGirl's address. I hope to get it in the mail this week.

Thanks for hosting this ray, chambejd.

This was really good - definitely exceeded my expectations! It took me a little while to get into, but once I did, I couldn't put it down. Thanks so much for sharing!

Outstanging story! I can't add any more thoughts to journal than what others have. Thank you, chambejd, for sharing such a classic!

Journal Entry 14 by cisco from El Granada, California USA on Saturday, May 03, 2008

Although it took longer than usual for me to read this book, it was worth it: uncomfortable, interesting, enlightening. Waiting to find out where to send it next! Thanks again for sharing it, chambejd! 

Journal Entry 15 by pattyh from Sunnyvale, California USA on Tuesday, May 13, 2008

I received this in the mail today in a bookray. 

Journal Entry 16 by pattyh from Sunnyvale, California USA on Monday, September 08, 2008

This book turned out to be a great read. Jeffrey Eugenides was masterfull in weaving his plot. In addition to being a great story, it was also quite educational: the biology, genetics, psychological makeup of intrasexed individuals; and history of Detroit in the 50's-70's.

I am waiting for the address of the next person on the list to mail it off to them. I hope they enjoy it as much as I did. 

Journal Entry 17 by nynjagrrrl from Elkhorn, Wisconsin USA on Sunday, September 21, 2008

This book came in the mail a few days ago and I forgot to journal it. I thought this was an interesting book but not one I would recommend. I just couldn't get into it. This book will be off to the next reader as soon as possible. 

Journal Entry 18 by BooksAndJava from Knoxville, Tennessee USA on Tuesday, November 11, 2008

The book arrived and I thought I had journaled it's arrival, but apparently not. Anyhow, it's on the top of my TBR list and I hope to finish it up and pass it on soon.
