I loved every thing about this book from the way it is written to the imagination and struggles they went through

Glorious, loved every minute of it, makes me wish I'd never read it so it would be all new to me again ! Silk Kimonos ! Gorgeous. Would now like to visit Japan some day so I can see the beauty that the book depicted for myself !

I've read this book 5 times now, and each time is like a new experience. I even chose to read it for a 6th time for a book report I'm doing in school. I've never read a book so incredibly detailed and enchanting. The description in this novel is just breathtaking and the relationships are so believable. It's hard to not think of Sayuri/Chiyo as a real person. You honestly feel like you are reading a biography. it's amazing; a must read.

I thought the book was great. I haven't seen the movie, so I incapable of comparing the two. But I do personally think that in some stories, a movie can't portray a story as well as a novel can. I am hoping this is the case with this book, as you get a more personal feel to a story when you are reading a persons thought and feeling instead of having an actor try to show the emotions.

This book is just stunning, each description is so well detailed, I read the book twice, don't want to see the film, scared it will give me another image of what I had so well imagined.

This book was amazing! I had to pick a novel to read for my English class, and was really dreading picking a book out. Then one of my classmates recommended that I read Memoirs of a Geisha. So I decided I would. We got a month to read the book and I read it in three days. Then we were asked to write and extensive report on it, including a one page long summary. I found it so hard to keep my summary on one page. I wanted to tell my teacher everything that happened to Sayuri and all the hardships she went through. In other words, the book is a magical book which enchants the reader and transports them to a land of unknown hardships, treasures, and a rare found happiness in a world of hurt and pain.

This book was incredible! I couldn't believe how addicted I became to it's never-ending magic that is spun into the thousands of words that Memoirs of a Giesha contains. I became so enthrawled by the sheer wonder of the story that I found myself relating to Sayuri in ways that I couldn't believe. Because of the pure magic in this book, well Arthur Golden, you must be an amazing magician.

I love reading and writing about cultural aspects, but I never dreamed of reading a book as astonishing as this one. It made me laugh, cry, feel uncomfortable, but it kept my attention the whole time I was reading it. I never wanted to put it down. I read it strait through many classes. If there was a choice, I'd rate this book a 10; it is my all-time favorite!!
