A Layering of generations and ideas

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2000
Review: The structure of the book, The Joy Luck Club, by Amy Tan is very interesting and very much facilities the universality of the novel. An important key to the Joy Luck Club is its tying in of each families' story. The north, south, east, and west of...

Date of Review:  Jan 23, 2000
Review: This book helped me understand much about the Chinese culture. I loved how well each of the characters was developed. I had seen the movie first years ago and only now got around to reading the book. I think the book was much better than the movie...
