Amy Tan can be hilarious with her prose.

Saving Fish from Drowning leaves the reader with a lot to reflect about especially about life. Sometimes we intend the best and impose our standards on others - trying to 'save' others from themselves or from their current predicaments, but in the process, we do worse for them.

This book is about a 'ghost' telling a story about her companions travelling to Burma. They got 'kidnapped' by a tribe in a case of 'mistaken identity' where one of them was recognised as a saviour.

Funny, witty and sometimes sad.

Great book to read.
