I enjoyed reading this book and found it very easy to read. My father was in Japan during the Korean War and sometimes referred to the Geisha. So needless to say I was interested to actually read about the life of one. The author makes you think a girl is actually the author and you sympathize with her life. I kept reading just to see if she gets what she wants. This book was very quick to read. I read it in 2 days. I couldn't put it down.

Memoirs of a Geisha was fantastic. I hesitated to read it because I am not so very interested in Japanese culture or Geisha for that matter, or, at least I wasn't before I read it. It was captivating and hard to put down. I will definitely read this one again.

As a student i dont fancy reading but this book was one of my most favorite. As a student i did find the book a bit racey but i understand were the author was coming from due to the fact that sayuri is or was a geisha. I absolutely positively benifited from reading this book. Being 14 i could relate to this in many ways (ex: always wanting to run from my problems). I thank the librarian for the recomendation and hope that others READ AND ENJOY THIS NOVEL AS MUCH AS I DID.

So okay. It is good. But hey! They should have rated it R. Not that I care but what if little kids read it? But frankly, it really is good, I tell you. I recommend it to those who haven't read it yet. Though at the latter part there would some subtle adult scenes, well, it wouldn't matter if it wouldn't matter to the one reading it. It really was very easy to read and understand; I am only older than twelve and younger than fourteen as of present so I'm speaking as a really awed and surprised young girl who find 'Memoirs of a Geisha' enchanting and magnificent. Very great and fitting for a book report. People, read it!!!!!

Even though I am just 13 years old i found this book magnificent and riveting.
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.
