So I was a little late on finishing this up, didn't finish it til yesterday (but that was because I have had a crapload of homework to do). I loved this book! From start to finish it totally met my expectations of what a great book should be. The writing was beautiful and flowed through out the whole book. The author's writing was rich and detail and you could picture everything that was happening so well. I also enjoyed that Lisa See did a great amount of research in writing this book. She traveled to China, including the villages that she used for settings in this book. At the end of the book there are a few pages where she talks about all the research she did and thanks a lot of people for all of their help and support.
The book isn't terribly long, I could have finished it a lot faster if I hadn't been so busy with school stuff. But it is really one of those rare books that I found myself trying to pace myself, so that I could savor it and make it last a bit longer. I would love to see this great story turned into a movie one day, even though I tend to think that book versions are better than movie versions. I just think this story is too wonderful to not be shared with those who are not into reading.
