I've read this book 5 times now, and each time is like a new experience. I even chose to read it for a 6th time for a book report I'm doing in school. I've never read a book so incredibly detailed and enchanting. The description in this novel is just breathtaking and the relationships are so believable. It's hard to not think of Sayuri/Chiyo as a real person. You honestly feel like you are reading a biography. it's amazing; a must read.

I thought the book was great. I haven't seen the movie, so I incapable of comparing the two. But I do personally think that in some stories, a movie can't portray a story as well as a novel can. I am hoping this is the case with this book, as you get a more personal feel to a story when you are reading a persons thought and feeling instead of having an actor try to show the emotions.

This book is just stunning, each description is so well detailed, I read the book twice, don't want to see the film, scared it will give me another image of what I had so well imagined.

Well, reading through all your reviews, I decided to read it myself.
All I can say is, yes, it's not too bad, but no, I could put it down and no, it wasn't so WOW like I had thought it would have been.
Golden is Golden.

by Brittany Memoirs of a Geisha: My Review
This book is very well written, both in that the author is male and the culture is clearly well represented. Though this book is fictional, one can actually learn from it. This is because geisha are real and many of the things mentioned about them in Golden's book are factual. The Japanese culture is also represented in the food that they eat and the way women are treated in the novel, even as geisha women are still objects.

by Kayla I was blown away!!!!
This book was amazing! I had to pick a novel to read for my English class, and was really dreading picking a book out. Then one of my classmates recommended that I read Memoirs of a Geisha. So I decided I would. We got a month to read the book and I read it in three days. Then we were asked to write and extensive report on it, including a one page long summary. I found it so hard to keep my summary on one page. I wanted to tell my teacher everything that happened to Sayuri and all the hardships she went through. In other words, the book is a magical book which enchants the reader and transports them to a land of unknown hardships, treasures, and a rare found happiness in a world of hurt and pain.
Stranger than fiction, blending tragedy and farce, How to Create the Perfect Wife is an engrossing tale of the radicalism, and deep contradictions, at the heart of the Enlightenment.
