5.0 out of 5 stars A Many Splendored Thing, May 30, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: A Many Splendored Thing (Paperback)
I have read and re-read this book for many years. I love the way the Han Suyin describes all the details of her surroundings. Having lived in Hong Kong as an ex-pat I believe she paints an accurate picture of the complex relationship between caucasians and Chinese living in Hong Kong. The book is wordy and gets off to a slow start but it is well worth the read. It is a fairly mild romance with a strong message attached. If you are looking for a more intense romance, try Han Suyin's fiction "The Mountain Is Young".

5.0 out of 5 stars The Book Is Great, April 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A Many Splendored Thing (Paperback)
I think the book is better than the movie. How can you translate some words to the big screen? There is no way. Han Suyin has a way with the words that goes straight to the heart.

My only regret is that the book is out of print.

5.0 out of 5 stars Its a wonderful story I have ever seen on film, August 29, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: A Many Splendored Thing (Paperback)
Actually, I have never read this book. I know it because I've seen the movie "Love is a many splendored thing" which is based on the novel by Han Suyin. Currently, I bought a tape in one of the videostores and watch it all over again and never tired of seeing it.I'm just curious about the book and I want to have a copy of it and to know if there's any similarity between the film and the book.I just want it so badly because it really strucked me. Thanks a lot and I 'm sorry for interrupting your review contest
