Helpful Score: 1

I read Middlesex several years ago and really enjoyed it. I expected to get the same satisfaction from reading this book, but was disappointed. His prose, as usual, is clever and lovely, but I felt like it lacked the same soul as Middlesex. Predominately because you never really got to know any of the characters - it was narrated by a nameless person in the context of presenting a case - about a set of girls he didn't really know. There was some attempt to show how it affected him and his friends, but without larger context of who he or they were it felt empty.
