À propos de cet audio

 This nationally best-selling novel from Pulitzer Prize-winner Jeffrey Eugenides was adapted into an acclaimed film by Academy Award-winner Sofia Coppola. A haunting yet wickedly funny tale, The Virgin Suicides has captivated countless readers with its intoxicating portrait of lost innocence. A brilliant fusion of dark humor and tragedy, it is an atmospheric, allegorical masterpiece about five oppressed, suicidal sisters and the boys who dream of rescuing them.©1993 Jeffrey Eugenides (P)2006 Recorded Books, LLC.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Eugenides' voice is so fresh and compelling, his powers of observation so startling and acute, that most will be mesmerized....This is an auspicious debut from an imaginative and talented writer." ( Publishers Weekly)
"A finely crafted work of literary if slightly macabre imagination....A black, glittering novel that won't be to everyone's taste but must be tried by readers looking for something different." ( Library Journal)
"Mr. Eugenides is blessed with the storyteller's most magical gift, the ability to transform the mundane into the extraordinary." ( The New York Times Book Review)

I really enjoyed this book. I wish I could say I came here independently of the movie but I didn't. That being said I do believe the book is better. If you are concerned the movie and the book will not follow each other fret not; the movie is actually quite sincere in its attempt to follow the novel. My only concern is I felt some words were mispronounced. Not the end of the world and perhaps it is because I am from Canada and maybe they are being pronounced correctly in other countries dilect.

As far as performance, it was great. It was a great book but not my cup of tea. It was good though. The end leaves you wanting more.

I watched the movie as an adolescent & thought it was good, not fully grasping what was actually happening 100% of the time. Seeing this audiobook, I thought, ‘what luck, I can fill in the blanks’, plus not watching the story for over 2 decades now, I knew I wouldn’t remember everything anyways!
It was disappointing to be honest. When men write women… and not well, just makes me cringe now & that’s what I experienced listening to this. To add insult to injury, the narrator said weird things like live-d, instead of the past tense lived.

Just ok…
