Title: Major Disappointment
Review: My Book Club chose Memoirs of a Geisha to read this month, so I was looking forward to the read, and was majorly disappointed. The little cat fighting and tricks the in-training geisha did to each other were so trite and sophomoric. It seemed like a man's idea of what women do to each other, and I found it insulting--not to mention shallow, flat and poorly written. I was hoping for a rich, many layered history and story of what, I am sure, is a respected and artistic endeavor unique to the Japanese culture. Instead, I read about silly squabbles a la Joan Collins and Linda Evans on Dallas! Too bad.
