The Virgin Suicides Review: Great book - Came in great condition and a very good book Review: Gorgeous, heartbreaking, voyeuristic - Gorgeously written. At once deeply knowing and incredibly shallow. Voyeuristic and blind to reality. The story is told from the POV of a group of boys through one of their representatives. They're intrigued by a family of five teenage sisters who live in the neighborhood, with an apparently domineering, religious mother and a passive, weak father. The girls are nicely fleshed out, as much as they can be from an outsider's POV, anyway. Each has a distinctive personality. The shallowness comes from a certain misogyny on the writer's and narrator's part. What could be have been more beautiful is cheapened by the fact that all the boys ever see is their chance of a sexual relationship with the girls. But underneath that misogyny is more than meets the eye. The end feels karmic in a way, a payment for the voyeurism and complete lack of understanding on the boys' part, to look past the misery, emptiness, and desperation of the girls who needed real help and got only horny boys who thought they could cop a feel. The blind eye of an entire neighborhood allows the demise of these girls, as does the passivity of the father and the extremist beliefs of the mother. All at once beautiful and heartbreaking. A worthwhile read. Do be aware that there are some uncomfortable ideas and contents that are no longer timely, but the book was written in the 90s. The final chapter irritated me and in a way cheapened the rest of the book for me. I would have preferred skipping it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0307401928 | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,707,459 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #55 in Coming of Age Fiction (Books) #235 in Literary Fiction (Books) #1,843 in TV, Movie & Game Tie-In Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (12,259) | | Dimensions | 5.5 x 0.7 x 8.2 inches | | Edition | Clean & Tight Contents; Softcover | | ISBN-10 | 0446670251 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0307401922 | | Item Weight | 10.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 256 pages | | Publication date | September 20, 2011 | | Publisher | Vintage Canada | ## Images ![The Virgin Suicides - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rMCGAMT2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book *by W***S on February 18, 2026* Came in great condition and a very good book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous, heartbreaking, voyeuristic *by S***E on April 2, 2022* Gorgeously written.

It was extremely well written, as expected since I had read the author's Pulitzer Prize winning novel beforehand, but I found it a bit difficult to grasp the motives involved, for all the characters. Some of their actions were bizarre, and did not recall any of the friends that I knew growing up. It does ring true in the conclusions that it draws. Being somewhat nihilistic, I expect tragic outcomes. And I agree with the subtext that seems to echo Thornton Wilder's famous conclusion in his Pulitzer novel, that in time we are all forgotten. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/791979862-the-virgin-suicides](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/791979862-the-virgin-suicides) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
