Last week I read The Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan. The Joy Luck Club consists of a lot of short stories from the perspectives of Chinese mothers and their American daughters. Some of the stories were really enjoyable, but more than half of them were boring in my opinion. A lot of the stories were really similar, and so it made it seem like you were reading the same thing over and over again. All of the mothers were in a particular club, but it wasn't too relevant in the book. My favorite character was a girl named Waverly, and her stories were the ones I enjoyed most. The Joy Luck Club has a few pretty inappropriate parts, and it is fairly long. Overall, I definitely would not recommend this book, because I was pretty bored for most of the time when I was reading it.

Oh, that was very interesting Talia. I haven't heard about it before, but know I have! ���� I like the concept, but I don't like reading the same chapter over and over again, so I may not enjoy it that much. ��
