hinoki 's review for:
The Hundred Secret Senses
by Amy Tan
As usual, I have no idea how to rate this.
This is a story of a half-Chinese American woman (Olivia) and her half sister Kwan (and the stories Kwan tells). In some ways this reminded me of The Great Gatsby because the first person narrator is much less interesting than the real main character. Yeah that's kind of mean to say, because I don't think the author wanted it to be that way. Olivia gets a lot of time to herself in the second half, and I just thought it was so boring. I don't care about Simon. Just get a divorce and move on. I really liked Kwan's sections though and that saved the book.
