Summary: An excellent book for a English or History class discussion
Review: Not only is this book entertaining to read, but it is also educational. Arthur Golden had spent quite an amount of time and energy to do research on the life of a Geisha,as well as the culture of Japan. His research should not be in vain, but instead something worth being discussed in an educational setting. As a student myself, I believe I have learned more about the culture of Japan in this brief novel, than from any thick history book I read in my educational career.

Summary: surely good stuff...
Review: i can tell i enjoyed this tale very much. the author did an excellent job, in making up full story and researching on japanese geisha... but the good research actually played more role than backing up the whole story, which made me bored of too much details on cultural stuffs.. sometimes the explanations have cut the flowing storyline. but generally speaking, it's surely a good book, and i recommend this book especially to who is not japanese and wants to know about japanese geisha.

Summary: Brilliant!
Review: Arthur Goldens tale of geisha life was superb. It is amazing that he can write so well regarding the thoughts and feelings of women; I had to keep reminding myself that it was a fictional piece, and not biographical. I couldn't put it down, and spent many a night reading when I should have been sleeping!The worst part was finishing the book, as I never wanted it to be over.

Review: Beautifully written. Emotionally sensitive. Humor, tears, tender fears and blue wishes. Sounds almost as if Mr Golden is accessing a previous lifetime. I loved it!

Summary: I couldn't put it down!!!
Review: I lived in Japan for two years in the early 70's and found the culture very interesting. I heard stories about geisha but really had no idea what all their role consisted of. The author brought these characters out so dramatically that i will never forget them.

Summary: A Captavating Journey Into the Life of a Geisha
Review: I am a high school student who has become enamored with this book. It is by far the best account of Japanese life in that era. I cannot wait for Golden's next book. This book was a complete oddessy of a Geisha's life. Wonderfully written!!!!!!
