With high expectations, I began reading this book, only to be somewhat disappointed. With the high acclaim for Middlesex, I guess I expected something more than the author delivered. It is an entertaining novel with the uniqueness of the main character being a hermaphrodite. This believable story is told in first person, from Callie/Cal's perspective. It deals with growing up different, awakening sexuality and social rejection and acceptance. Middlesex is an enjoyable, quick read. I liked the book but felt that it only skimmed the surface of a issue and I was left desiring more.
