Amy Tan brings her characters to life through historical settings that make you keep turning pages to read through to the end! I loved this story1

Very good book for book club discussions. Lots to talk about.

A book that gives family history value. It gives layers to your life, and solid ground to stand on. Amy Tan tells a tale not easily forgotten.

Difficult to get into & finish; I found the characters to be uninspiring, confused, mean, spiteful victims who blamed their misfortunes on ghosts & imaginary negative "luck." I didn't like any of the female characters. I know several Chinese women who have emigrated to the U.S. who speak broken English, are angry, bossy & just plain mean & spiteful. I hope the Joy Luck Club is more interesting & the characters are better & more well-developed, but have no interest in reading it.

Really liked book. I felt I knew the characters and felt their pain and happiness.
