maleficent

I read this book when it first came out and absolutely loved it... I had to keep reminding myself that the book was written by a caucasian male, because he seemed to have so much insight into the female mind -- and especially the world of the geisha...

As with most books that I've really enjoyed, I've no desire to see the movie... I may rent it wihen it's out on DVD but I strongly doubt it - -I dont see how the book can be done justice..
