This was an easy read. Everytime I though that I figured out what would happen, I was surprised by another twist in the story. The characters were a little unrealistic and I do not belive people would get away with many of these things in real life, but it you can get past the unbelievability then this is a good book.

I dreaded having to finish reading this book. The descriptin for the book made it sound very interesting and unique, but it was not. The first three-quarters of the book were painfully slow and the ending was far too neat.

I read this book in 3 days, it was very well written. I felt like the main character was sitting next to me and telling me a story. Good discussion with the group about how we would handle the hardships that this character faced.

Only one of the five members of our book club finished this book. It sounded like an interesting concept, but the lives and emotions of the three women were not discussed in enough details. This book was more like reading a history lesson on China. I learned some interesting facts about the Chinese government but there were way to many details about the govenment and not enough about the women themselves.

Anyone with a dad who always has something to say about everything will enjoy this book. It only took me about an hour and a half to read and I laughed out loud at least 15 times! could lead to lots of discussion about all the crazy things your dad says.
