Negative Positive
Title: A great book.
Review: I found this book to be totally engrossing. I cared about the characters, and was fascinated by the life of the geisha. But most importantly, to me anyway, was how the author did not take the low road, or sputter out in the end, as so many authors do.How many times have I read a book, to become involved with the story, the character, the events taking place only to have the author seemingly run out of energy or ideas and simply end the story the easiest way out? I appreciated the way the Mr. Golden followed through with his ideas, thoughts and characters, and allowed them to find a satisfying conclusion.Also, I had to keep reminding myself that a man wrote this book....so few seem to be able to portray women in any kind of realistic way.
Is the review positive or negative?
