A well-written book. Even though most of the readers I assume did not know the places, the way it has written made the places very "visual" to the readers. I found this book very interesting and it is very enjoyable to read it

One of the best books i've ever read! This story is incredibly engaging and detailed, and really gives you a sense of another life. The imagery in these pages will take your breath away. Truly an amazing story.

I have read this book 4 or 5 times so far. It is a very interesting story and I like the way it is presented. It is an easy book to read. I have not seen the movie, but I usually like the books better anyways.

I loved this book so much I not only keep 2 copies of it, I also bought one for my mom and both my sisters. definitely a keeper!

This was a wonderful book. I have never seen the movie but from what I've heard, the book is much better. Loved it and passed the book along to others to read.

Beautifully written, heartbreaking and captivating. I loved this book, and the movie is also excellent. What an amazingly beautiful and tragic story. A .

I loved this book!

I read it within a few nights. If I had the choice, I wouldn't have put it down. It created a vivid, and beautiful story in my mind - and I couldn't wait to see the movie. Although the movie was excellent, the book was better!

Highly recommended.

This was a wonderful book. I have never seen the movie but from what I've heard, the book is much better. I took every chance I could to read this book. Loved it!! :)

I read this book years ago and loved it. Every time I see the cover I remember how much I enjoyed the book.
Book is old now so if you have not read it yet you can get a used copy at a great price.

A great book. It's an interesting look into the world of a Geisha and the business of it. I did watch the movie when it came out and while I did enjoy the movie I felt the book painted a better picture. It's a nice easy read so it's good if you want something casual because the story is easy to follow and the writing style keeps you interested.
