I like Amy Tan, she is a very talented author. I have enjoyed Joy Luck Club.

I listened to this book for over 24 hours of mind numbing boredom. I finished it. I had to for some reason. I just did not enjoy my this book. The book was lacking. There was so much sex, but it was poorly done. No really it was lame, insipid, boring, dull. The story was dull, as we hear whining characters continue to talk about how betrayed and unloved they felt, as they try to grow but never really do grow.

Basically a story about women who have sex a lot, with men who mistreat them. They get pregnant, they get abandoned, they pull themselves up out of the mud. The find forgiveness and love and reunite. Blah blah blah it was dull. Her other stuff was better.
