This was pretty good. I didn't like it as much as the movie though. Actually, if I hadn't watched the movie first I may not have finished this book. I found it a little confusing and hard to keep up with who was telling the stories in different chapters. I do remember having the same experience with watching the movie, but at least I had a face to put with the story so that it was less confusing. All in all a beautiful story about mothers and daughters.

I enjoyed this book. Amy Tan has the ability to write characters who you'd like to meet, and she can weave a story like no one else. This book can bring tears to your eyes and also bring a smile to your face.

This is my favorite Amy Tan book. I've read it several times and just now willing to part with it. I love the different stories...It's as if you're there while it's happening.
