Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Preule Ten Toesscher
Hello,

I've read this book after it was recommended by my wonderful teacher Geert ten Tusscher who really needs a big compliment because he's so very good. He's so very good speaking about the triangle of love, which is the most important element of the english literatur and actually all literature!!!
The triangle of love, what shows off very often in this book, is this: Love has three compenents: commitment, passion and intimicy. On this last part, Geert ten tusscher has expierenced a lot!

goodbye!

Rated 3 of 5 of 5 by Renee
This book was an OKAY read. It is written spectacularly, however at times it got too boring. I know it's meant to be very discriptive to create an image in the reader's mind, however it was just too much detail. I loved the themes portrayed throughout the novel, and they were presented excellently. I had to read it for my HSC Preliminary course, and maybe that's why it got boring. I've watched the movie as well and that was a pretty good film, especially Ishmael Chamber's character (Ethan Hawke).

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Maho
I think it is quite a good book and the ending of the movie totally sucked.

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by nic
a brilliant book, i read it then watched the film half way through reading, this was all for my AS english literature course. i dont read as much as i should but this is a book that i could read again so it must be good! the film was enjoable but it think it should be wathched after if anythig because it can spoli your own creation of the characters although etta heine and art moran were as i imagined.The vivid description is a bit gory but certanitly makes the reader feel involved in the novel.Also gets across very significant issues.amazingly written.

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Jen
I think that this book was very well done, it gives us more of an insight to what the Japanese Americans had to go through, and all the discrimatory that was put there way because of thier culture, it is a very well done book, the only thing i feel that wasnt quite necessary was all the decription of the "body parts"in it, i think we can get the general idea of what these look like and what happens when 2 people sleep together, then having to go into so much detail, but all and all it was a well done book, with a good storyline that kept you in suspense till the end. :)
