The Virgin Suicides - Jeffrey Eugenides
With the Mumsnet
Book Club already thriving, we thought it about time we started reviewing grown up books and for this category we want to know what you think is the best book ever written (plenty of scope there then). At some point when we've reached a critical mass we'll be handing out a dazzling literary award to the winning book (watch out Mr Booker) so please add as many reviews as you like and feel free to comment on other folks' choices. As ever, if you have any suggestions for new categories you'd like to see, please send them over to contactus@mumsnet.com.

This book is amazing, well written and thought provoking. I had trouble putting it down and even missed my stop on the train one morning thanks to this book.

This is an absolutely fascinating book and I hardly was able to put it down. It became a definite favorite of mine. Even though you are not surprised how it ends as it delivers what it says in the title. It is about five sisters' suicides. It might be morbid but incredibly beautiful and atmospheric as it is written from the view of some neighborhood boys who were infatuated with them.
