Title: You Will Like This Book, I Didn't...
Review: You will like this book...IF you watch Lifetime television.IF you consider yourself "socially conscious" and are interested in the "chicana" cause.IF you read books on "the female experience"IF you have worn or do wear birkenstock sandals with socks.You will not like this book...IF you enjoy fine literature.IF you have read and enjoyed anything by Nabokov or Joyce.IF you have already suffered through House on Mango Street.IF you don't enjoy encountering paragraphs like the following..."Except it's not me who I want to kill. When the gravity of the planets is just right, it all tilts and upsets the visible balance. And that's when it wants to out from my eyes. That's when I get on the telephone, dangerous as a terrorist. There's nothing to do but let it come." (Cisneros, Woman Hollering Creek p.83)I apologize if this offends any Cisneros fans, however, I must risk being impolite in order to save people the discomfort of reading this book.
