 Loved it! December 27, 2008
I hadn't read any reviews of the book before picking up a library copy and I read it non-stop. I really did enjoy the whole set up of the trip with Bibi's death, the characters, and the setting in Burma. I've read one of Amy Tan's prior books, but love this one the best. I'm sorry that some did not enjoy and I did not understand their criticisms - I bought a hard cover version to keep after I had read it.
not one of her best November 30, 2008
The Bonesetter's Daughter outshines this novel. I felt the plot was contrived and predictable and sometimes a little overwritten. I hope Tan takes a step back and returns to her rich and riveting style for the next one.
 Big disappointment November 8, 2008
I have loved all previous Amy Tan books. I was hoping all the negative reviews were not true. This book, however is terrible. It's very long and it was hard to get through. Don't waste your time.
I just can't put it down September 15, 2008
From the 1st page, I have not been able to put this book down. The characters are well defined and I found myself wanting to know more about them. As they got to Burma, I loved the details Ms. Tan gave about the travelers experiences and thoughts about their surroundings.
The underlying political message about Myanmar is a gentle reminder that there are still places in this world where people are not free and treatly poorly by those in control.
 A Wonderful Adventure! September 6, 2008
I picked this book up on a hunch in an airport book store, and I'm so happy I did. If I had read these reviews I would have missed this funny and sly adventure tale. I am in awe of Amy Tan's skill.
