Negative Positive
Title: Beautifully Drawn and depicted
Review: This is a great novel. The characters are so well described and clear, so wonderfully drawn, you can easily see any of the characters in any scene. Sayuri appears like any girl, she is someone with whom one can empathize, and the pre-WWII geisha scene in Gion is painted so vividly that one can hardly believe that this is a novel, not an actual oral memoir. To realize that Golden is really an american man from Tennessee is quite amazing--this book is so well researched and factual that it's difficult to believe he simply write this himself. A definite must-read--amazingly vivid and beautifully written.
