Book 2: The Virgin Suicides

While I was researching this book, I came across this blog, called Sunset Gun, that had devoted a blog post to The Virgin Suicides. It is very informative, and interesting to read; she talks about both the novel and Sophia Coppola's film version, which "doesn't tell a story; instead, it leaves a swoony, foggy impression, a darkly beautiful intangibility filled with almost torturously elusive feeling" (sunsetgun.typepad.com). She delves into the bond of the five sisters, who are portrayed as mysterious, lost characters. The pictures on the blog aren't showing up when I view the website, but still it is a very good read regardless.
