Middlesex. Book report by Chris Yarrison. Thank you.



Great book, if you're a sexual pervert. Highlights: incongruous genitals; incest.

Actually very good. Unique, except for the chatty narrative, which sometimes wanders out into crisp, beautiful prose. And I'm not a fan of the epic multi-generational family saga thing, to be honest. No one investigates a murder. No cowboys have an adventure in Mexico.

A young girl finds out she's a boy. There. That's it.

Still I'm compelled to explore Eugenides' slimmer debut, The Virgin Suicides, before moving along with my promised reading list.
