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

The Kindle book is still on sale for $1.99
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?)
