Tia (USA: CO) (2008/07/03): Loved it! Very interesting, intriguing book. The beginning is a little slow as you learn the family's Greek history, but picks up and then you don't want it to end.
McLean (USA: PA) (2008/08/06): This is a fabulous book! Mooch it, check it out, buy it....you will not be sorry.
Zaq (USA: OH) (2009/07/27): Absolutely loved this book. I haven't been this involved in a set of characters since I can't remember when. This is one of those books that saddens you to finish the last page.
Laila (USA: CA) (2010/10/16): This book was disturbing to me at first, and at the same time not too intriguing since the history is far removed from my origins. But I stuck with it because any book with historic facts and good writing needs a chance. I really developed compassion for the main character, and could not put it down as it progressed. I will look for others by this author
Lily155 (USA: CT) (2011/01/26): A wonderful book. Once you start reading you won't be able to put it down.
Jen Rouse (United Kingdom) (2011/04/25): Wild and far-reaching in narrative scope with authoritative voice and pace, this is both a Greek-American family epic and the story of Cal, the "middlesex" of the title. I loved this book, it's rollicking and big and bold and great fun too.
