Title: This book Inspires!!
Review: I found this book to be one of those things that you come across once in a great while that just makes you take a deep breath and sigh with the satisfaction that you are somehow different after reading it. I think those of you who say the book is flat and unemotional are not reading it with keeping the context it's written in in mind. This is the Japanese culture, where 'saving face' is everything, and showing emotion is considered weak. So although you may not always learn the true feelings of Sayuri, you are not supposed to be reading this story as YOU would have told it. That's important to keep in mind. The story is true to not only the anthropoligical facts, but also the Japanese culture. It is wonderfully written and an enchanting tale. I completely recomend it to anyone who wants to learn a little about the Geisha's world as well as their own.
