The Joy Luck Club

So far The Joy Luck Club has been a compelling and interesting read. The first few pages were slow but not in such a way that it was hard to read.
The book is separated into memories from all the different characters and each person describes their situations with so much vivid detail, it is almost hard to keep up with what is going on. I think there may be a more dominant feature that I just don't see, sliding beneath my radar, evading my attention.
I think is written this way to show the bright colors that most associate with the Chinese culture. It also expresses the intense emotions that every dramatic mini story contains.
Each characters story shows the different personality and arduously trying events person shares. The tone goes from sad, to happy, to lost or rebellious from chapter to chapter and at first I did not understand the format of this book and it really confused me. All and all, I am really enjoying this book at this point.
