You like the same characters I like.
I wonder why the movie couldn't have Nobu with one arm instead of two like the book. It can't be that diffucult with all the props and technogly we have today!

I know, when I saw the movie I was wodnering why they didnt have him with arm, I'm sure that wouldnt have been that hard to do with the technology there is now

Mary-Lynn: Extactly! It ruined movie Nobu for me. The Chairman is suppose to have white hair... like in the book. But in the movie, he's a bit young.

Zofie: You should read the book. It's great!

I know those two things really bothered me, I didnt even see a problem with Sayuri and The Chairman being together or what not because he didnt even look that old.

Mary-Lynn: I agree! I actually love them together.
I wonder if Arthur Golden is going to write more books? It would be awesome if it's another geisha book.

Aw. That sucks! It's really a good book.

Has anyone read the book? I would really love to talk about it.

Just finished the book. I really enjoyed it. Although I have to say I was a little disappointed with the story , post World War II. I didn't like what they did to Nobu. At the end of the day, he had done so much for Sayuri .
Spoiler:
While I understand why she did it, I did not like the way she betrayed him. And I didn't like the implication that somehow he didn't care for her if he was angry for it. I didn't necessarily want Nobu and Sayuri to get together, I just felt that he was treated unfairly in the scenario just to pave way to Sayuri/Chairman union. TBH, I was quite indifferent to them getting together.

Good book. I read it right before I saw the movie. It idealized that world a little but it sucked me in and the heroine was wonderful.
