1.		The Joy Luck Club from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $10.68 Customer Review: This is a powerful book about love, tragedy, and ties that bind immigrant familes. It's the story of four immigrant Chinese women and their American-born daughters. The moms arrived in San Francisco long ago as young adults, and while they love their now-adult daughters they often cannot understand... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		The Bonesetter's Daughter: A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle) from Ballantine Books Price: $10.17 Customer Review: I will rarely reread a book because there are just so many other books out there that I really want to read. One book I really enjoyed in 2001 when I read it was Amy Tans: The Bonesetter's Daughter, and, since I needed a good audio book for a short trip, I decided to try this story one more time. I... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Saving Fish from Drowning: A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle) from Ballantine Books Price: $10.20 Customer Review: The Bonesetter's Daughter outshines this novel. I felt the plot was contrived and predictable and sometimes a little overwritten. I hope Tan takes a step back and returns to her rich and riveting style for the next one.

4.		The Hundred Secret Senses from Vintage Price: $10.17 Customer Review: While Amy Tan is an amazingly talented writer with a lot of great books under her belt, she is arguably most well known as the author of The Joy Luck Club, which I have yet to read. I did, however, read The Hundred Secret Senses (originally published in 1996) not once but twice. I almost never do... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Kitchen God's Wife from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $4.99 Customer Review: The book was in the condition it said it was in and it was a great price! The delivery was super fast and even arrived before the date anticipated.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		The Opposite of Fate from Flamingo Customer Review: I didn't read The Joy Luck Club; I wasn't interested, it sounded like a chick book, and I don't play Mah Jong. This book is more like taking a peek inside Amy Tan. It was great. I hated literature in high school and college, because all the professors always talked about all the "hidden... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		The Joy Luck Club from Vintage Price: $11.88 Customer Review: The Joy Luck Club / 0-8041-0630-4 The Joy Luck Club is, in my opinion, the best of Tan's works. While each of her stories deal with the generational gap between mothers and daughters (compounded with a culture gap and a language gap, as well!), and while each of her novels delve into cultural... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Sagwa, The Chinese Siamese Cat from Aladdin Price: $6.99 Customer Review: A WONDERFULLY TOLD CAT-TAIL! THE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE LOVELY AND APPROPRIATE TO THE PLAYFUL THEME OF THE BOOK.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		The Moon Lady (Aladdin Picture Books) from Aladdin Price: $7.99 Customer Review: I read this book and watched the Sagwa TV series and I want to see more stories by Amy Tan aimed at children.The two stories are well written and in my opinion would recommend it to all parents even though I am not one.The best thing I like the two children's story Amy Tan wrote is that they keep... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

11.		What the Dormouse Said: Lessons for Grown-ups from Children's Books from Algonquin Books Price: $9.95 Customer Review: Children's books are often dismissed as a lesser form of literature when compared to books aimed at adult audiences. However, children's literature often contains universal truths that can benefit readers of all ages. What the Dormouse Said: Lessons for Grown-ups from Children's Books, is a... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Mei Mei?Little Sister: Portraits from a Chinese Orphanage from Chronicle Books Price: $35.00 Customer Review: This book was given to me as a gift by someone who knew I have a strong bond with children from China. Each page I turned brought memories flooding back of the time I spent caring for children just like these, behind the walls of the secretive orphanage. Some of the haunting expressions are... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		The Joy Luck Club Customer Review: These days in many Critical Reading examinations, passages that require the understanding of other cultures (i.e. the African-Americans and the Japanese-Americans) are often found. Entering an American college within two years myself, I asked for suggestions of books that issue cultural conflicts in... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

15.		The Best American Short Stories 1999 from Houghton Mifflin Company Customer Review: It's probably not good for the anthology that the piece I most enjoyed was Amy Tan's introduction; I thought that by itself was worth checking the book out. The actual stories left me wanting something more, with the exception of "The Sun, The Moon, The Stars" by Junot Diaz, "Real Estate" by Lorrie... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.	[no image]	SAVING FISH FROM DROWNING from Putnam Books Customer Review: I am really surprised at the reviews I have seen thus far. Although this book is a change of pace for Amy Tan the sometimes viscous response from some of the readers reviewing the novel is quite frankly shocking. I actually enjoyed the novel a great deal. I thought the plot mechanism used by... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.	[no image]	Mid-life Confidential: The Rock Bottom Remainders Tour America with Three Chords and an Attitude from Plume Customer Review: For the 1992 American Booksellers Association (ABA) in Anaheim, Kathi Kamen Goldmark, a San Francisco rock musician who still held a day job--escorting out of town authors to readings and other events--had an idea. What if she could pull together a group of the well-known authors she'd met and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

20.	[no image]	Baba: A Return To China Upon My Father's Shoulders from Diane Pub Co Customer Review: Other reader reviews share details about "Baba," so I'll just sing praise. The book is beautiful, in every possible way -- the stories, the telling, the images, the paper, the design, the heart. Treat yourself to the treat of this book.
