The Virgin Suicides
4 journalers for this copy...
The fact that this book is so popular disturbs me a bit. It's incredibly sad, but there's something that keeps you reading. It's that feeling of not being able to tear your eyes away from a horrible accident; you know you're going to see something awful but you have to look anyway.
Passing it on to Seferim.

Just received the book in today's mail....I'll be reading it soon. Thanks for sharing Seferim.
I watched the movie when it first came out, and I thought it was a beautiful movie and a sad one as well. Now reading the book, I understand the dark undertones of the movie. It's such a sad story, but such an addictive story. Once I started reading the book, I couldn't put it down.
Thanks Seferim for sharing!

This book was a little strange, to say the least. I'm not sure I understand why it's so popular, it certainly is not a book I'd ever buy, nor one that I would recommend to friends, due solely to its disturbing content. Worth reading, but glad I only have to pay for postage for the chance to read it.
Mailed it to the next bookcrosser on the list!
