Title: House on Mango Street
Product review: What a disappointing selection for California's required Hispanic reading! This book is disjointed and written in such a juvenile manner that I thought originally throught it was just a very poor translation from the Spanish. While the concept is somewhat interesting, a Hispanic community in Chicago is harder for Californians to identify with. Why not a book about the Hispanic community ALL over Calfornia? More than the location though, I had trouble with the dull, repetitive tone of the book. What a snoozer!!
