Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes- for anyone who's watched the film, the book is a great companion with expanded detail and "flavor".Who was your favorite character and why?
I didn't really have a favorite character, they were all portrayed well by Eugenides. I don't know if it were possible to have a favorite. You feel like you knew them well, and didn't know them at all.What does Nick Landrum bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I've listened to all of the Dexter books narrated by Nick Landrum and I like his voice. It doesn't "get in the way" of the story.If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
There was a film! Don't know the tagline, but I'm sure it's just as vague as the deep story.Recommended Listen!

Truth be told, some of the characters were annoying also. The parents would be crushed by the loss of a child, especially the suicide of a child but with 4 other children in the house, one would have to change, to be engaged, to draw together. Difficult of course but to throw away life in the face of 4 daughters seems impossible.
Thankfully, I've no experience with suicide in my family and it's important to consider this issue from many sides so the book is a good experience to have and it's well written, as all his stories are.
Read the book instead of listening to it

no, in my sense it is touching on a big subject in a shallow wayWas The Virgin Suicides worth the listening time?

It's a shame, because it's such a compelling concept and I've heard great things about Eugenides. I'm going to try Middlesex even though I did not like this book, that's pretty clearly his masterpiece.

But what a mind that is. He always leaves me pondering, as the world he creates always enters my heart and stays.
Give this new classic a listen for its lingering beauty.
