The Joy Luck Club was about a Chinese woman who grew up in America, and never really cared about her Chinese heritage, until her mother dies, and she takes her place in "the joy luck club" a club where a few Chinese women have time to remember their time in China, by eating Chinese food, and playing Chinese games, she gets to really know her family, who her mother was, and things about her culture.
The Joy Luck Club was set up in a strange way, each chapter switched off between different people, which some times made it hard to know who was talking, but I don't really think it mattered, because the story they told were very easy to follow. I loved how all the stories helped her at the end of the book.I've noticed that in lots of books there are parts where it seems as if nothing is happening, and then chapters where there is nothing but action. I feel like the action in The Joy Luck Club was very spread out. I can't remember a dull moment. For me, this was a very good thing, because each and every chapter was extremely interesting, I never found myself skimming through pages, waiting for and exiting part.
Over all, it was a really good book, it told an amazing story, and Amy Tan told the story beautifully, The Joy Luck Club was very detailed, and smooth, I would definitely recommend it.

i like that you admitted that you were a slow reader because it helps you notice small things.
