Haven't read it but am sending it on to Wisconsin with a friend. She'll send it back, right?

Released on Thursday, August 29, 2002 at suitcase in Madison, Wisconsin USA.

I like Amy Tan's books, she's a great story teller. The dual "ghost" story of Misses Moo and Banner was however a lot more compelling and interesting than the modern story of Olivia, Kwan and Simon. The ghosts were also more sympathetic characters. I didn't really care what happened to Olivia and Simon, and found myself reading quickly through those (longer) parts just to get back to the ghosts. The ending of the modern story was predictable, though I couldn't help rooting for the opposite outcome!

Am releasing this book in Seattle on a front porch.

It arrived today, I'm looking forward to reading it, this time.

Reading just doesn't get any better than this. This book suspends all disbelief and takes the reader into a very real and magical world. I gripped this book tight.from the first page to the last. A good thing too, if I ever set it down, someone was sure to comment on it. I could see they were coveting it. A good book.

Released on Wednesday, August 27, 2003 at Swedish Hospital in Seattle, Washington USA.

This book does a good job of championing heart
and spiritual themes over intellectual ones. Releasing to a friend.
