Matej Hodac matthodac5632 — I quite liked this, though not as much as the other work of Tan's that I've read (The Bonesetter's Daughter). Both of them deal with very similar themes - cultural identity, displacement, the problems facing the first generation children of immigrants, the problems of those immigrants themselves, how to hold onto your own culture in a vastly different land. However, I felt as if The Joy Luck Club was a less powerful novel for me. I think that was not because Tan addressed those themes any less successfully, or because they're not themes I'm interested in (coming from a country which has in many ways identified itself by its emigrant tradition, far from it); I think it was because of the structure of the novel, and some of its weaknesses. It's a first novel, and that shows in many ways. The structure of the book - an alternating series of stories told by various mothers and daughters - doesn't always work as well as it might. There are one or two points towards the end of the book, I think, where she switches the POV within the chapter; only for brief periods, but it's enough to cause slight confusion and disorientation. Some of the stories are stronger than others, too, their narratives more tightly constructed and less prone to sentimentality. Jing-Mei's story, for instance, of being re-united with her long-lost twin sisters after so many years of separation, felt too soapy for me, and didn't ring true. I found myself much more interested in the story of the mothers and their struggles than in the daughters, overall. Her prose is lovely, however, and it's an enjoyable book. I think I have a preference for her later work, though.

Bruno Frizzo brunofrizzo — Kathryn Davis uses amazing language to create a world in which we are invested and interested. Her characters as well as her fantastical situations all seem believable and lovable.

Dario Frescofiore youwall — Really, really enjoyed this book. It was nice to read a slightly more tame China Mieville. His love and description of the cities he places his characters inside of in his books is fantastic. It's much less 'Weird' than his other books and I found that better suited to my tastes. I have to say - the blurb on the back of the book is really accurate on this one. If your in the mood for a quasi Chandler/Kafka/Dick mash-up - this is a great place to visit.
