My Summer Reading Book 3

Title: The Joy Luck Club

Author: Amy Tan

I enjoyed this novel by the fabulous Amy Tan. All the different stories from the four Chinese-American families really had me feeling a different pathos for the majority of the novel. My favorite stories came from the mothers who I felt were more interesting than their daughters. However, the one mother I wanted a background story from was Jing-Mei's mother Suyuan Woo. All the other daughter's mothers had very beautiful and at times hard tells that had me feeling great sympathy. The daughter's stories just seemed immature and at times pety. The mothers' stories definitely had my attention alot more than their daughter's stories. I give the novel itself an 88 because my attention did falter a bit and at times I felt the stories were too drug out. Overall, this novel and it's story is a classic that everyone should read atleast once.

88/100
