Book 238: Memoirs of a Geisha

I enjoyed the style. Very easy to read and had a good flow. The way Golden wrote it made it easy to see what was happening in the novel and picture the characters.

I liked the translator note at the beginning. It made it seem more authentic.

Interesting to read about girlhood written by a man. The part about her learning her virginity left something to be desired and I found that it was unrealistic. Alas, what else can one expect from a book written by a man who has never experienced it?

I rate this book an 8 out of 10.
