Surprising ... (Courtney's Best Read 7/11/2011)

Has anyone noticed that it's been a while since I've actually done a post about a book? My passion. Well I could blame my teacher, giving us so many tasks that I can barely keep up but I am about to review a book, because it's been too long.
OK so best read;
Memoirs Of A Geisha - Arthur Golden
I'm going to be honest, I actually haven't finished the book yet, that's my plan for tonight. But I'm in English now so .. I know what's happening in the story and can definitely review it.
OK so this book is all in first person and is the story of a girl, who loses her parents in two separate ways, both as devastating as another. This is basically the story of her life, how she came to become one of the most recognisable Geisha's in Japan, situated in Kyoto.
Sayuri (さゆり), born Chiyo (ちよ) went through a ridiculously large amount of hardships, but I hate to ruin the storyline but it's obvious. Triumphs.
I personally, find this story inspirational, to me it says ..
No matter how hard things get, you can still win, as long as you don't give up there's always a chance that you'll come out on top. Nothing is impossible, if you keep trying you'll get somewhere. Wherever that is, it's an achievement. Simply;
Just don't give up. Ever.
