Query: Different than you'd expect

I picked up this novel because I saw a trailer to the movie and I thought the movie looked interesting and was thereby convinced the book was worth the read.This book is compelling in many ways but I think the thing that makes it most compelling is somehow Golden manages to make the voice of the character feel translated without making it an overbearing experience.He does not give rationale for each activity that Sayuri participates in because it is her life story and he is very good and just leaving it at that, an inexplicable want of the person who's story is being told.If you want a traditional, all ends tied up, everything completely satisfying, all comes together in the end type of book don't choose this one. If you're looking for a well-written fictional biography that does not attempt to be formulaic I recommend this book.
