Joyluck club

There were many references to the Mahjong game in this story of the book. For example, the title: "The Joy luck Club" is where a lot of women gather around and play Mahjong pretty much all day. If i were to write one sentence to explain the theme of the book, i would have to say that the story is about the life story of the mother's life story and trying to re-tell the interesting story of the mother's life. I'm both liking the story and disliking the story. I like the story because of the way that Amy Tan uses her descriptions and she really pulls me into the story when she brings in a this sort of mystical and spiritual sense to it when the women start to play Mahjong. I don't like the story because Amy Tan has a very different style of writing then I'm used to, and i think it's a little bit confusing. I think i would like to see the direction the story goes because i really like the mythical effect Amy Tan adds to the book. I hope the story of the mother's life really helps me like the story, and maybe everything will be explained in better detail later on in the book.
