JoAnn, 10 year - ...Diane, couldn't agree more!<br /><br />JoAnn, 10 year - good for her~ it was really sweet.<br /><br />Vintage Reading, I have never read Amy Tan! She is one of those authors I mean to read but never do. Thank you for the recommendations.<br /><br />Cornflower, she did very well, thank you! I look forward to your own thoughts on this book.<br /><br />J.Danger, it's a good read!<br /><br />Staci, it absolutely did, thanks. I hope you enjoy the book!<br /><br />Bermudaonion, yes! Do read them, I think you will like them.<br /><br />Ti, Nuts! But I can see your point. The girls were a little bit whiney for me. I'll be looking for your review when you've finished.<br /><br />Karen, it's fantastic, absolutely.<br /><br />Literary Feline, I think this will be a problem Lisa See will face for a very long time! I don't know if she could ever exceed Snow Flower.<br /><br />Les, Sounds like a good decision!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208766776468157501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5040657217275018769.post-35853040898158002582009-06-04T06:35:54.883-05:002009-06-04T06:35:54.883-05:00I still haven't read Snow Flower, but hope to ...I still haven't read Snow Flower, but hope to get to it this summer.
