Summary: A Beautiful story about a beautiful culture
Review: Memoirs of a Geisha is a beautifully written book. It is sensuous and utterly feminine, and delves into a culture that is mysterious and yet fascinating. That Arthur Golden is not Japanese nor a woman is a real testiment to his writing abilities. I cannot wait for Mr. Golden's next book. I LOVED THIS BOOK.

Summary: BORING, BORING, BORING....
Review: I read this book for the sex and was disappointed. There was none. The story was o.k., but the details put me to sleep.

Summary: What a SHOCKER!
Review: I thought MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA was a non-fiction book until I was about halfway through it. I didn't read the book jacket beforehand, but about halfway through I took out the book's jacket and read it because I thought it was a true story.Yep, it was THAT good and realistic.

Summary: Enthralling, entertaining....couldn't put it down
Review: Couldn't believe this book was written by an American Man!!! Arthur Golden captures the essence of Sayuri. You can see her, feel her emotions. You are taken in by his poetic writing. Not only do you get a chance to share the twists and turns of Sayuri's life, but you are given an opportunity to learn ancient customs and way of life for the geisha of Japan. I really loved this book!!!

Summary: Wonderful Story Telling
Review: I have to admit that I found the beginning a little slow, but after the first couple of chapters, I was hooked. I found myself making time to read even a couple chapters a day. The story flows very nicely and the descriptions make you feel like you're part of the story. Amazingly, this wasn't even written by a Japanese geisha, but by a Caucasian male.

Summary: I didn't want it to end, so I read slowly . . .
Review: I absolutely loved this book. The characters were so interesting and the story was just as compelling. I had no idea how the book would end and was totally surprised. My mother read it and recommended I read it - I've now told anyone I can think of to read it. All descriptions were realistic, beautiful, and easy to imagine.

Summary: this was an awesome book......
Review: Memoirs of a Geisha is a very worthwhile novel to read. Full of passion and longing, torment and bitterness, you feel as if the narrator and protagonist, Sayuri, were relating her story directly to you in the flesh. The novel takes you on a journey through a world where appearance and manner is everything and where love is shunned. It's really quite interesting. Not only is it very enjoyable but it will also expand your cultural horizons. Most people who read this book will have a hard time putting it down the first time. The language is very lyrical and easy to understand but at the same time very poetic. Therefore, when you are ready for your next book, choose this bestseller novel which will do everything but disappoint you.

Review: Found it to be a riveting piece but would like to have more of knowledge of the credibility and understanding of the the author before I rave. How real is it/he? Did he earn this intimacy?
Rating:
Summary: This book will be a classic!
Review: I thought that Japanese culture and that of the geisha was captured in an amazing manner. I was impressed with the way the author explained the various traditions and practices of the geisha. The author does this in a way that captures Sayuri's personality ingeniously.
