Negative Positive
Title: Be advised this book is FICTIONAL!!
Review: This book is very easy reading. I could not help but laugh at some of the remarks only a Yank woman would say. As if the author had no idea about their language. I have read other Geisha books, studied Japanese and know people who live in Kyoto. This book is very American it's no wonder all the mindless Yanks love it!! It is a wonderful story no doubt of the struggle of a young "Geisha" woman. I read it in 5 days. It was a nice change. It's almost the same as if a Geisha would read "Hollywood Wives". It's almost laughable. The whole Chairman ordeal was very tiring. And Hautsumono's character was eliminated too easily and without a boom. In fact the story was not even about Geisha at all. Only about 2 women trying to bring another down for treating one of them so badly. Sounds like elementary reading.
Is the review positive or negative?
