What readers think of Memoirs of a Geisha, plus links to write your own review.

I really like this book very much. I could imagine myself as Sayuri. I will cry when she is sad and smile when she is happy. I didn't know how struggling life was being a geisha, until I've read this book.Memoir Of Geish makes me appreciate my life more. Sayuri was so strong and tough that no matter how worst the situation, she'll never give up. I really like her personality and she let me realise that everything is possible as longs as we hold on to it. Life without hope is meaningless and I would never let that happen to me. Thanks to Arthur Golden.

i loved this book i was the best book that i have ever read and i read it about 4 times and still cry

This book is so great, I don`t have any words to describe how I like it!!

one of the best books i've ever read, i'm reading it for the second time, what i usually don't..thanks to mr golden for this novel

This book is so great!!! I really got me back into reading. This is my favorite book!!! I loved the story, I really learned a lot too...

I am extreamely critical of books which proudly proclaim, "New York Bestseller List for over a year!" I find book like that are usually high over-rated anyway. So you can imagine my surprise and delight to find that "Memoirs of a Geisha" deserves every single week it spent on the Bestseller's List. Golden writes in a wonderful woman's voice so much so one can't hardly believe that the story is NOT something a geisha had dictated. Sayuri makes a wonderful modern heroine, and the story holds you captive from the very first page. Golden's prose is alluring and whimsical and he succeeds in capturing the essence of the Japanese language in English in ways never thought possible.

An awsome well written novel!!!

This book was written really well. Until the very end when you read the comments, there is no way of knowing that this story was not told to Golden, but rather moreso fiction. It is a great story about a girl comong into realizations about her mother's death and losing every other part of her family she has. She grows up and gets revenge against those who wronged her in the beginning and geld her back for so long. I recommend this book to any one who reads it. It was great for me, a teenager, and it would be great for older people as well.
