I'm back.

I finished reading Arthur Golden's Memoirs of a Geisha. Grabe! I never hated a character from a book until this novel! How I hate Hatsumomo. If you ever saw Princess Sarah (the cartoons in ABSCBN), you'll definitely think that Hatsumomo is the twin sister of Lavinia. Argh! What an envious, self-centered biatch!

I like the story. Its very telenevola-ish but with a punch of refinement and culture. I love how Golden describes the kimonos worn by the geishas. But, I don't like the last 5 chapters. It was quite boring.

The story made me look at geishas on a different light. Now, when I see one I'd look at them with respect. Sayuri is such a lovable hero. Hay!

If in case you haven't read this book, it would be worth buying.

Rating: 8.7 out of 10
