5.0 out of 5 stars Miss One Thousand Spring Blossoms, March 4, 2000
This is one of my all time favorite books. The descriptions of the cultures coliding are wonderful. The characters all grow and learn from each other. Richard learns to like himself and to enjoy the differences between life in Japan and Boston. The description of Richard's first experience in the Japanese bath totally describes the feelings of being overseas, alone, and totally confused.

My experiences as a US Army family member in Japan were good and my memories are happy ones. This book reminds me of all the reasons I fell in love with the country and it's gentle people.

This is a wonderful love story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Beautiful Book, February 13, 2007
This review is from: Miss One Thousand Spring Blossoms: A Novel (Hardcover)
As beautiful a book as its title. If you liked Memoirs of a Geisha, you will love this.

It is simpler and sweeter and possibly much more memorable than Geisha, more haunting.

I wish it were more widely known so I could reminisce about it with friends. I'm happy it is not because it remains a delicate memory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, November 15, 1998
By Raj (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miss One Thousand Spring Blossoms: A Novel (Hardcover)
John ball has done great job in narrating the experience of an American facing the Japanese culture with the fine tunes of romance woven in it. The characters of people are nicely built. The description of Japanese culture is excellent. The author has dealt the realationship with Richard and Miss One thousand spring blossoms with great sensitivity and very realistically. The supporting characters play a very strong but subtle role in bulding the story. A great reading.... Really a master piece from a great story writer. A Must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars this is a exquisite story - a longtime favorite
This is a story of an American man who travels to (1960's) Japan. It is a tale of his experiences in a totally alien (to him) culture. And it is ultimately a love story. Read more
