Memoirs of a Geisha

Rating:
Summary: I made a new friend, now that the book is over, I miss her.
Review: My grnadmother lent her copy of this book to me and I am not giving it back - this is my favorite book of all times! The book was engrosing, eye opening, inspiring and wounderfully written. If you like memoirs, this is as good as they get. To read Mr. Golden's book is to know Sayuri. I was sad to finish reading it, and when I did, I wanted to find her. What a great exposure to a different culture!

Summary: A Golden era brought to life . . .
Review: With great sublety and meticulous research, Golden brings to life the vanishing world of the Gion geisha. Far from being a common prostitute, a geisha is an "Artist Person", and Golden illustrates this fabulous world as well as any westerner ever has, although the heroine is a fictional creation. A wonderful book.

Summary: Perhaps the only book i've finished reading in 3 days time..
Review: We all know of Cinderella and of Beauty and the Beast... but nothing can compare to the story told in Memoirs of a Geisha. At one point in the story... I almost believed that the story was true... this tale perhaps is one that will live forever in any readers heart.

Review: This book is truly a page-turner. It was an engrossing journey to watch Chiyo grow from a child into a geisha. It is one of the best books I have read in years.

Review: Where to begin? Aurthur Golden's extraordinary novel truely captures the life of a geisha, leaving nothing more to be desired. This book kept me totally captivated from start to finish - never was there an unneccesary word or a dull paragraphy. What an exquisit work of literature!

Summary: Excellent literature, destined to become a classic.
Review: As a student of English Literature and an avid reader for many years, I have read thousands of books. Many of them move me. Memoirs of a Geisha is one of these. Arthur Golden has created a classic tale of love, life, change and growth. I feel as if I had the opportunity to meet an amazing woman. I am a fan of any fiction that is historial as well, and this novel provides educated insight into pre-WWII Japan. A must read.

Summary: Excellent book!
Review: This is an excellent book that was nearly impossible for me to put down once I had started reading it. I HIGHLY recommend this to the serious reader who is looking for something different from the usual memoir-type books.

Rating:
Summary: Great! I'd give it ten stars if I could.
Review: Memoirs Of A Geisha does not need an articulate and witty review, like most of the reviews I just read. It is simply, a really good book. I think anyone who likes to read will love this book. This book would appeal to readers ranging from Jane Austen to Danielle Steele. I think the coolest thing about this book is that A non- japenese GUY wrote it. This book will take you to another level!
