 Wonderful book. September 24, 2008
Very captivating. I couldn't put it down till I finish it.
Very easy to read, dynamic plot.
The movie was beautiful but it didn't show even half of what is in the book and why.
It has a very interesting ending (unlike the movie).
One of my favorite novels! August 31, 2008
This is a wonderfully written story about the life of a young Japanese girl that suffers a lot but becomes the best she can be. Everyone I know that has read this loves it as much as I do. The writer captures your interest right away and before you know it, you're living in Japan, during the war. I saw the movie after reading this book and was very disappointed with the movie. There is just too much to try and convey on the big screen. Treat yourself to some "me" time and read this wonderful story.
Awesome writing style..my absolutely favorite book August 9, 2008

Just read an excerpt..or the first page and you will see that it pulls you into the story immediately and it never lets you go. I was never bored and fell so deeply into this story and into the imagery and emotion that I wish I could find another book that could take me on a such a journey as this book did. I've been searching but have not found its likeness. I was blown away that this story was written by a man and not by a Japanese Geisha.

I find it very hard to believe that in the 30s and 40s the Japanese culture, one of the most esteemed cultures in the world, would train young girls for the exclusive pleasure of men.

The author does an incredible job at keeping the reader "hooked." i could not bring myself to put it down....when i finished the book, i wanted to learn more about geishas and their cultures.....this is a must read.
