i changed my mind... i rated this book a 1 before, but then i realized that i didnt know half the words in the book. after i looked up many many words, i loved this book. there was total chemistry between the chairman and sayuri and i loved the ending

I just wanted to say that this book has probably been the best I've ever read yet. In the beginning though I wasn't quiet sure if I should read on but when later on the story I just couldn't put it down. I had to finish!

Memories of a Geisha was an excellent book. Whoever says different must have skipped a few chapters. (naming one Rebecca who gave it a one?!) This book actually put you in it her time and place; it was like you could actually feel the experiences she was going through.
If you want a book that you can't put down and will totally blow your mind; this is the book for you.

Memoirs of a geisha is truly astonishing and remarkable book. This is a first book I read in few nights, it is simply impossible to let go and even when you do let go the life in Gion is still happening in your head. I must admit I was touched at the end, but in the same time I was sad because I couldn't be a part of Sayuri's life.....

This book is amazing...
There's something... Magical about it. You cannot put it down for a moment!
It's fascinating, sexy and spell casting... You can actually hear Sayuri's voice in your head, see the places, feel the touch, Smell the green tea...
If you have'nt read it yet - Run to the nearest book store now!
And to the author, Arthur Golden - You're very talented, and be sure that I will be first in line to buy another book you wrote :)

Great
If you'd like to enrich your knowledge with the extraordinary history of the Geisha issue in the Japanese folks - then I highly recommend on you to read this novel.
It is really rich with exact details- even the minimal features- of things. The writer seems very talented and has an attractive way to makes things be - feel and look - Japanese. Enjoy reading- like I did.

Memoirs of a Geisha: My Review
This book is very well written, both in that the author is male and the culture is clearly well represented. Though this book is fictional, one can actually learn from it. This is because geisha are real and many of the things mentioned about them in Golden's book are factual. The Japanese culture is also represented in the food that they eat and the way women are treated in the novel, even as geisha women are still objects.

I am a person who dreads reading, especially a 400+ pages book! However, once i got myself into it, the beautiful storyline of Chiyo/Sayuri held me in with a vicegrip!! This story is full of metaphors and imagery. A 'geisha' is NOT a prostitute like everyone stereotypically thinks; through the story itself, you will be given light about the true life and harshness of being a geisha. Enjoy!
