The Hundred Secret Senses (Abridged) Audiobook

" Sweet 'n Sour... fitting into one culture while having to accept your own. "

" Probably one of my favorite novels ever. Everything about it was amazing! I will definitely read it again. "

" My favorite Amy Tan book "

" This book is memorable for the voice of Kwan, Olivia's half sister, who possesses the secret senses. "

" I found the lines between fantasy and reality of the protagonist and her sibling to be blurry, making it difficult to follow the story line. I had the feeling of being dropped off at a train or bus station without the proper information of which train or bus to catch and at what time it would arrive. Ending felt hurried and unfinished. (Maybe my lack of understanding of superstition and culture of the orient influenced my inability to grasp the import of the sister's delusions which were fundamental to the story line) "

" I love amy tan books. I think that this is my favorite of hers. there is something about Chinese culture that facinates me. beware there is swearing in this book. "

" Third Amy Tan book. Very disappionting. Way too much superstition. Too wierd. "

" I LOVED this book! May you find, and always know, your hundred secret senses. "

" I loved this book! It's funny, sad, hopeful, and full of life! It makes me want to eat, travel, and rethink my views on life and spirituality. I loved it. "

" I have read all of her books; good insight into the blight of being a women in China. "

" Sweet book that taps into the magical aspects of rural Chinese life. "

" A beautiful, scintillating novel of sisterhood and the constant battle between the past that forms us and the present we've embraced, handled with Tan's usual deft and delicate touch, and her trademarked interweaving of Californian/American and old world Chinese culture. "

" This was my first book of Amy Tan's, an author I had always wanted to read. I found the book slow to start, but by the second half I couldn't put it down. the characters were fascinating as was the story line. I enjoyed this book. "

" Highly recommend. Enjoying it immensely. Love to read books that take me away from my life and into the lives of the characters. It's like a refreshing vacation "

" this book will always remain in my heart! "

" Excellent! Like every novel Amy Tan has written, this book is a masterpiece worth reading. "

" First book I read on my Kindle. Great book. "

" Not my favorite, but a good read none the less. I've read it probably 4 or 5 times and get mad at the ending every time. "

" I love everything Amy Tan has ever written! This one is no exception, a strange and mythical past that our heroine tries to reconcile with a troubled present and the hopes of a better future. Mistrust, hurt, love, forgivness, it's all there. Very good and fun to read. "

" One of my all-time favorites. I had a vicarious experience at he end. Amy Tan is a marvelous and gifted writer. I might even have to reread this one! "

" Fun to listened to read by the author. Felt familiar but I never figured out if I've read this earlier or not. "

" I didn't think I could fall harder for a book than The Joy Luck Club. But I did. "

" amy tan at her best. 900 times better than joy luck club. read it first...or last if you want to read and enjoy her other ones. "

" Eu tinha 12 anos quando li e nunca me saiu da cabeça... acho que vale uma releitura. "

" I brought this book to the beach to read and it fit the bill. I enjoyed the story of Olivia and her half sister and their strange relationships. It was entertaining but not a 4 or 5 star book. "

" Simple to read but far from primitive in its essence this book is a nice example of how a very american literature can be fully asian and how asian literature can be americanized. "

" I read this book shortly after adopting my daughter. l was fortunate enough to have met my daughters birth mother, and often felt that we had known each other in another time. this book really touched me. "
