We enjoyed the movie version as well. I've read other books by Amy Tan as well and liked them too.

It's become popular in some circles to knock on Amy Tan. I've read the criticisms and think they are off base. She's a terrific storyteller who is popular and gets knocked in part for her popularity.
(How many times do I need to use 'popular' in a single post?)
