The Virtual Bookcase Reviews of 'The Virgin Suicides':
Reviewer ashley ogilvie wrote:This has got to be the most dramatic yet realistic book I have ever read. Everytime I ask people their opinions on suicide, they say they think the person was being selfish. But you must think about what drove the person to do it. Wether it was their own state of mind, bullying at school, or in this book's case, the parent's expectations and/or rules. If you hold your children too close or you expect too much from them you are going to drive them away, or make them feel like they are never going to be good enough. I think that's what this book is trying to tell people and hopefully thats the message they are getting.
