"Different than I thought it would be". As I was reading I kept telling my SO that it was different than I thought it would be. Lisa See is my favorite author, my first book of hers being Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. This book had some interesting twists and turns, but overall I felt that the pacing was a little slow. I never truly felt connected to Peony, especially in the beginning where she felt more like a naive and selfish child. It's worth a read, but all in all it was okay.

Unbelievable. Love Peony in Love, Lisa does a great job in bringing the character to live. I have read all her reason books and not once was I disappointed

pretty depressing. I think this is probably one of those stories you either really like or don't. It sort of reminds me of a fable. The writing is good, but the storyline isn't for me. Women are just property. There's so much tragedy. It made me feel depressed. Sometimes the sad parts in a book give me the feels, but this just made me feel sorry for them and downhearted.

Intense and Captivating. The followup to "Snowflower" is different but does not disappoint. Another beautiful rendering by Lisa See which places you intensely in the world of the main character. My heart was pounding as Peony took me through her life and captivated me with her emotion, desire and passion. Another beautiful story leaving me wanting the next book!

One of my favorite books. The themes in this book are a little more complex than some of her others but I think that's what made this book special for me. It took the concept of love so much further than your ordinary story. As the Caucasian mother of four children from China I've always been deeply interested in Chinese culture and history and this book brought much of it to life. After reading Peony I also finally understand the Chinese concept of Hungry Ghost. If you like historical fiction and lots of raw emotion and struggle you will enjoy this book. The book moves similar to the emotions of the characters and is not for those looking for fast paced romance novel. You need to savor this one to enjoy it.

Boring. I wish I had downloaded the sample first instead of buying the book immediately. I'm a fan of the author so I thought I would really like this novel but was disappointed in the main character. I don't want to give anything away so I won't go into detail but I thought it was boring.

Great Book!. I learned so much about Chinese culture of that time from reading this book! The main character's growth and development was something that really captivated me about this book. I must admit my slight frustration at the main character at the beginning of the story due to what appears to be weakness, but her growth and understanding of all that was happening around her really developed the story beautifully. It's amazing and does not disappoint. This was also my first Lisa See book that I read. I am now a big fan of her work and hope to read more of her books soon!

Peoni in Love. You will need to keep an open mind for this book. I had to put the book down a few chapters in because I was distraught and mad at Lisa See. After about 2 weeks I continued to read the book and I don't regret it.

Loved this one. After reading this book I had to order The Peony Pavillion, which Lisa See did research on. Lisa See always develops characters I fall in love with. I also read Pearl Bucks Peony. And, peonies are my favorite flower.

Omg awesome. Best book ever! Beautiful tragedy, written so gracefully. You can almost close your eyes and be within the world of the book, the detail is so excellent! Lisa See is one of the few Anglo American writers that writes as with an almost authentic Asian voice, her research is incredible.

Different. I tried to enjoy this as much as her other books but it just didn't work for me. Do a little research before purchasing. Some may enjoy it but don't expect it to be like her other novels.
