Title: If this book had a story it would be great
Product review: The House on Mango Street is a collection of short stories told to you by a twelve year old getto girl. Each story is about a facet of getto life, which made it hard to for me, a middle class male, to relate to. The short length of the stories didn't help much ether. Because there was no time to build a setting the stories made you feel as if you are reading an MTV music video. Of course, all these shortfalls could be forgiven if the book had any character development at all, but sadly, the characters reminded me of cardboard cut-outs in theaters.
