Book Group: Saving Fish from Drowning - Amy Tan

As usual, Amy Tan kept me entertained, almost from cover to cover. I loved the voice of the narrator. She died at the beginning of the book so she spoke as a ghost who could see inside of all the characters, yet filtered everything through her own experience. Very fun and interesting.

The story is mostly set in Burma as a group of tourists who she was scheduled to lead on a sightseeing trip, turn up missing. Since she's a ghost, we get to know what's happening to all the characters during the entire story.

One thing bothered me. At the end, she did a 'where are they now' section. Not so interesting.

Other than that...two thumbs up.
