The Virgin Suicides - Collins Modern Classics : Eugenides, Jeffrey: desertcart.in: Books Review: Unexpected plot and extraordinary writing. - From the title itself and the way this book entails so much about religious stuff I was convinced that this would included some sacrificial shit. But no that's not it. This is a story about how the deaths actually affected the life of people around the Lisbon girls. The fascination that everyone had about the mysterious Lisbon girls leads to their obsession with their lives. This is one of those books which do not give much importance to the plot but to the way it's written and it's vocabulary. Great writing and oddly satisfying. And yes you do get to know why they killed themselves which was expected but still shocking. Review: A must read! - The Virgin Suicides is a story of five sisters, it’s the story of their life and their demise. Told from the point of view of their neighborhood boys, the Virgin Suicides shines light on the boy’s fantasy of the girls and their obsession. For them, Lisbon girls aren’t human, they are objects of desire, exhibits to look at and understand, the dehumanization is the essence of the story. The Suicides takes the center stage? Why did the girls do it? Don’t go into the book waiting for answers, Jeffery Eugenides doesn’t tell you, instead he weaves a beautiful twisted tale, of the loss of innocence, death of the American suburb and a whole lot of male gaze

Unexpected plot and extraordinary writing.
From the title itself and the way this book entails so much about religious stuff I was convinced that this would included some sacrificial shit. But no that's not it. This is a story about how the deaths actually affected the life of people around the Lisbon girls. The fascination that everyone had about the mysterious Lisbon girls leads to their obsession with their lives.

And yes you do get to know why they killed themselves which was expected but still shocking.

The virgin suicides
What a novel! Definitely superior to the film, though I like the film as well. The language and the tone are inimitable and just great literature.
