Book Reviews of The Hundred Secret Senses
Book Review: A book that connact with every Chinese heart.
Summary: 5 Stars
A well-described novel that details how a girl comes to find out who herself really is. Olivia is an American girl with a Chinese father who had died when she was just a kid. She might has live like the other American girls. However, a sister from China has changed her life. Following after Kwan, her sister, Olivia has found her dream, her faith, and herself in the far away China. This is a book that connected with every Chinese heart, no matter where they are. The Hundred Secret Senses is mostly focus on the friendship, the love, and the mysterious relationship in the of Olivia and Kwan in their last life time. Chinese people believe that people have so many life turns on after another. And often, they think, what you have done in the first life time might effect the next one. It also tells about how the special talent that Kwan has, she could talk with ghosts. For Chinese people, Kwan must have the yin eyes, so she can see the yin people, who are the ghosts we call in English. With her great talent from God, Kwan has helped Olivia through all the difficulties, though Olivia has always refused her help. So that's the place that show with great love"No matter how she refuse me, I am going to do anything she needs." This is the third book I read from the same author-Amy Tan. I read her first book, The Joy Luck Club before. I had asked my friends' opinions about this author's book. All the response I got was something like "It's all right," or "It's so boring!!" With a doubtful heart, I still read the book. Through the readings, I found these books went straight into my heart. As a student in an international school, it's hard to tell which group you might fit in the best. But this book taught me how to make my choice. It told me that wherever I am, just remember where I came from and never forget the true self. I recommend this book, to someone, who sometimes confused at who they are and where should they stand.
