Really really really really liked the book~<3 But, have yet to see the movie.
I didn't realize it wasn't really real until the end, so the whole time I'm thinking "damn, this girl went through a LOT. She's really freaking awesome!"
And then I read the last page and go... "Well CRAP I feel stupid."
The intro was written as though it were real. Like how he was saying he listens to the tapes and sometimes couldn't believe Chiyo/Sayuri wasn't around anymore.
So.. uh. No I am not posting in a dead topic, what gives you that idea. >_>
