 Ironic, witty, funny, and surprisingly nonconservative. I do stereotype my own race. I thought with Amy Tan I would be getting the usual Asian child-parent-bonding-over-different-culture stuff. But it was really different. It was a very reviting book and contains many good lessons to be learned.

 So so good! Very sad and exciting story, plus the idiot's guide to Burmese history.

 Excellent. This was very different from her other books, but I loved the story line and the narrator. Once I got into it I couldn't put it down.

 The plot is very interesting. The tone sets the the story in its proper pace, and the characters give life to this story about a mystical excursion. The point of view - the first person omniscient narrator is a wonderful choice for telling this story.

 This book started out fantastic and got weak as it went. Still a worthwhile read, but not one of Amy Tan's phenomenal pieces of art.
