Book Reviews of The Joy Luck Club
Book Review: !!Joy Luck Club!! ->Mrs. Lenhardt<-
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book for World Literature presentation. I saw the movie before I read this book. I pretty liked that movie too. I challenge you to read this book with dry eyes.
This book tells us that author; Amy Tan explores the different mother-daughter relationships between the characters, and at a lower level, relationships between friends, lovers, and even enemies. This book is organized into four sections, two devoted to the mother and two devoted to the daughters, with the exception of June. The first section, logically, is about the mothers' childhoods in China, the period of time during which their personalities were molded. And the second and third sections are about the daughters' lives, and the vignettes in each section trace their personality growth and development. The mothers' describes through the eyes of the daughters.
I strongly recommend this book. You guys should read this book. And Tan's novel is a worthy read.
