I noticed how many people thus far had trouble getting into the first chapter of Middlesex. While it has taken me a while to get through it in the onset, I actually really started to get into the novel, and I believe that Jeffrey Eugenides presents the character basis extremely well.
I must admit that a few items confused me, such as who is chapter 11 and what the hell is going on. But thus far I have truly enjoyed the novel. I found it very interesting that the author decided to write about a mutated chromosome and its journey. Also I found that the presentation of this information is truly genius. While reading into the 2nd and 3rd pages I thought that I was confused about what I was reading, but the author presents his information in a unique and challenging manner that certainly requires upmost thought.
Thus far I enjoyed learning about the time before the conception perhaps the most and the relationship between Cal’s mother and father. The transitions and random facts make this book far more interesting and personable.
