Title: Must be good for poetry loving adolescent girls
Product review: I read this book as it was required summer reading for a local high school.WHAT????This book is a collection of short vignettes about a girl growing up in a Hispanic family. Perhaps this is of interest to SOMEBODY but not this middle aged man nor most teen boys. I felt like I was trapped in a chick book (not always bad), written by a poet (not always bad) celebrating diversity (not always good). The stories were short and the redeeming value was that there were so many partial pages that it was half as long as it looked. Cisneros has written poetry and this book has the feeling of poetry (not always good). I am sorry for the high school boys who were required to read it!!
