"memoirs of a geisha" is definitely a great read. i found myself going through the pages quickly, and was sad when it was over. the movie wasn't as great as i thought it would be, but i enjoy seeing movies based on books i've read.
so, what do you all think of the book? |

I know this is an old post, but I just finished reading "Memoirs..." about a week ago, and Im completely in love with it. Its one of those books you just fall for imediatly, its so tragic, and romantic, and heartbreaking all at the same time.
My only problem with it is that it seemed almost too "fairy tale" for me, I strangly enough wanted her to end up with Nobu. It just seemed like what was supposed to happen, her entire life had been so bittersweet, and in the end it just ends up perfect. Dont get me wrong, the ending was AMAZING, as was the entire book...but it just seemed like the ending was a little awkward for the book. I havent seen the movie as of yet though....any good? <3 rememberTHEforgotten |
