I really enjoyed the adaptation of Memoirs of a Geisha, but that was also because the environment and clothing were so beautiful! ^^ I loved the dancing and the kimonos. I did miss the intensity of the emotions though, but that's more difficult to put into movie I think. I just read I am Legen ...

Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden is a decent enough book, but not a patch on the autobiography of the women the lead character's life was actually based on. I recommend Geisha of Gion by Mineko Iwasaki over Memoirs any day - get the story straight from the horse's mouth, as it were. ...
