Negative Positive
Title: Sorry: Over-rated
Review: Sorry, but I couldn't finish the book. By the time I realized I was over half way through and I still wasn't hooked to the story line, I bailed out. There was one too many "Oh, but the Chairman", "Look what pretty eyes she has", and "It was years later I learned". I really expected more of a cultural insight vs cat-fighting perspective. I had hoped for more insights to the "artisan" aspect of geisha life, vs the bidding war for the mizuage.....I must say on the positive side that there are many clever descriptive passages (but even these wore thin as the pages dragged on). (Ref below reviews: Can't believe it was written by a man either...)
Is the review positive or negative?
