A review by misspalah
Saving Fish from Drowning by Amy Tan

challenging slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? No
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

2.0

 The First Book i DNF for the past 5 years. 2 stars simply because in the first 100 pages, there are some quotes that i love. It is such a relieve after i joined the book discussion and found out that majority of people in the discussion did find the book difficult to follow through and believe that Amy Tan try to do so much in one book. Being the first book of Amy Tan that i read, this is such a huge disappointment given that my best friend love her books and always praised her writing. I may have to find her other books to read as many of her huge fans said that this one is a departure from her normal stuff that she used to write.
