Book Reviews of Memoirs of a Geisha
Book Review: A Wonderful Novel!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an extremely well-written novel that kept me captivated from the very beginning. "Memoirs of a Geisha" follows the story of a young woman who experienced many misfortunes throughout her life, who overcame many trials to improve her status in the world, and who ultimately achieved what she wanted most. I loved the overall plot and descriptiveness of the book, especially since I was reading about a completely different culture (Japanese) than my own. I also loved this novel because it showed the life of a Geisha and what being a Geisha meant - the book detailed all the training they underwent, schooling, what was important, how the world viewed them. This book was full with drama and action, and I couldn't put it down the first time I read it!
