Title: unrealistic books aren't moving in my opinion
Product review: I bought this book to read for school because I had read all of the wonderful reviews and I thought I would like it. The problem with Tan's book is 1) it is unrealistic 2) it is a formula book. Tan writes as if she is planning for a movie- but its not a movie, its a book. The plot follows a mother and a daughter (Pearl and Winnie-Louie) and the feelings each has about particular secrets they are keeping from one another. Winnie decides to tell Pearl that her real father isn't who she thinks he is and blah, blah, blah..it goes on for pages! For maybe 250 pages or more she tells a much too detailed account of EVERY SINGLE THING that has ever happened to her and you never hear one remark from Pearl until she's completely finish. It was terrible.
