Memoirs of a Geisha was an incredible book to read. I do not consider myself a person who often reads, but once I began to read this book, I was completely infatuated and hooked to it. In result to that, I finished it in three days. It was an aweing novel that I will …more

I have just finished reading this brilliant novel. Definitely a must read page-turner. I have never read a book quite like it, I found it compelling. Much respect to Mr Golden.

I found this book more interesting than emotional. The use of diluted metaphor allowed one to sympathies with the character of Saruri yet not really empathize with her. However I thoroughly enjoyed the novel and I would recommend it to others as both an insightful and educational read.

A lovely book. Touching. Like so many other readers, I too felt alongside Sayuri throughout her travails and her journey through life. At no time did I feel that I was seeing Japan and its Geisha culture through an outsider's eyes. It's authenticity, and my feeling of …more

This is the most fascinating and inspiring book I have ever read. I could put it down, and yet I did not want to finish it. It made me laugh, cry and think all at the same time. Absolutely brilliant.

If you like a book that focuses on noble suffering then 'Memoirs of a Geisha' is the book for you. Using detailed descriptions, mesmerising metaphors and ingenious imagery that is most fitting for the period 1930’s – 1950’s, the author Arthur Golden takes us …more

When I read this I was blown away and felt that I was right next to Sayuri as her life went on. Once I started reading this magnificent book I couldn't stop. Even after reading it three times, I still want to read it again and again. I recommend it and give it five out of five.

Iain McCorquodale
I was already in the middle of another book, when I picked up my copy of Man and Boy. As an ex-pat Brit in Canada, I was especially looking forward to Tony Parson's exploration of the New Lad as new parent. So, I gave in to temptation and curiosity and …more

Thom Hanser
I knew in advance that Sanders was not the author of this book. I purchased it and read it because for any reason I was happy to see Archie, etc. live on. The book was well written, in fact I think it a little fresher than Sanders latest efforts. My problem with …more

I was deeply depressed when I heard of Mr. Sanders passing. He has been my favorite author for years. So when I found McNallys dilemma, I was overjoyed. I thought this was a book Mr. Sander s was working on at the time of his death. I had no idea it was written entirely …more

Like so many others, I found it deceitful to pass Lardo off as Sanders. I would think it would be illegal! I thought this book was a little off Sanders' usual caliber, but gave allowance to "nobody being at their best all the time". Lardo actually didn't do a bad job …more

Beth
Like so many other readers I was also hoodwinked into buying this book. I didn't discover until I was part way through it that it wasn't written by Mr. Sanders. I think this is wrong to prominently display Mr. Sanders name, especially when the book is in the rack at the …more

Garner
With the passing of Lawrance Sanders, I felt as if I'd lost a close friend, as I believe I've read everything he had written. I also felt a close relationship with his fictitional character, Archie McNally. Thankyou, Vincent Lardo, for a job well done, and keeping my …more

Rob
Like many others, I was conned into buying a book that I legitimately thought Lawrence Sanders wrote. But loving the Archie character, I read on. Reading this book was like watching television through tissue paper. Yes, Archie, Connie Garcia, Hobo, and Lolly were there, …more

I saw the Sander name and McNally and grabbed the book - then noticed another name and thought " Oh well, I'll try It" even thought it put me in mind of the churning out of V.C. Andrews nonsense. Well, I was a little disappointed - usually a McNally book perks along …more

Donna
This book could have been called "Donna's Dilemma." Knowing that it wasn't written by my beloved Lawrence Sanders, I wasn't sure I even wanted to read it but the lure of Archy McNally was too strong to ignore. I wish I had. It certainly wasn't a horribly written book, …more

Leslie from Connecticut
When I saw a new "McNally's" book at the store, I grabbed it and brought it home. That was when I discovered that it was written by Vincent Lardo with the permission of Mr. Sanders estate. They picked a winner as far as I am concerned. Had I not read …more

When I picked up my copy of McNally's Dilemma and saw another author's name besides the beloved Lawrence Sanders I was skeptical, but optimistic. I am only halfway through this book, but oh my goodness! Do I ever miss Mr. Sanders! I'm sure Mr. Lardo is an excellent …more

I loved the latest Archy McNally romp, even though Mr. Sanders died several years ago. I think Mr. Lardo captured the style of the McNally series, and I can't wait for the next one due to be released this summer. But why wasn't there a bullet hole in the shirt?

I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Lawrence Sanders, who has been a favorite author of mine since I discovered his books at the age of fifteen. I was even more saddened to learn that more books will continue to be published under his name. It doesn't seem …more
