“I was really touched while reading the book and felt like crying at so many points .. beautifully written”
“i love the book”
“Should I read this? Is is something similar to Scarlett O'Hara and Jane Eyre???”
“Amazing book. Beautifully written from the point of view of Sayuri. You really get a feel for her struggles. Although I was shocked and disappointed when I heard much of the geisha customs in it were fiction. A little research can do wonders.”
“Oddly forgettable considering it is a memoir”
“The book is awesome! I liked the author's creativity while using kind of words to describe the faces of ppl, objects, situations. For eg, Pumpkin's face! I felt the movie was not upto the mark as compared to the book!”
“The book start out with her and her sister being sold to a Geisha House, so it wasn't her dream to be a geisha. But given the situation she was thrown into, she strove to be the best she could in hopes of one day impressing that one man who showed her kindness when she was only a child. ”
“I read this book last year, this is a beautiful story about a young woman having a dream of becoming a geisha--regardless of her being a prostitute--it was her dream. The beauty of scenery of Japan was captivating and vividly describe--it's one of my favorites--and the movie was wonderful also.”
“This was a great book. Very interesting, heartfelt... I cried a lot for the main character. ”
