Title: The Taco Bell of Latina Literature
Review: Serros makes a few mildly entertaining observations, but she in no way matures as a person through her writing. That is something that every good memoir must entail. The writing is childlike. The observations have been made before, usually by better writers.A good chunk of the book is used for Serros to assert her superiority over whites. She makes sweeping generalizations about non-Latinos. If a white writer did that they would be run out of town on a rail (rightfully so).I'm your average white, middle class American. But I have several years of studying Spanish and Latino literature under my belt, both for fun and school. I've read stories that were much more compelling than this one.Try Julia Alvarez, or Sandra Cisneros if you're looking for intelligent Latinas. Try Serros if you're looking for shallow mediocrity...
