i am i high school student in texas and i am reading this novel, and frankly i am not in the least bit impressed with it. its a story that has no connection between vignettes and is no more than a collaberation of random short stories. in my oppinion a sixth grader could have written this book.
The House on Mango Street
(1991, Fiction - Coming of Age, Written by Sandra Cisneros)

- I rate this title iffy for age 13 and give itMy concerns are:
- Excessive violence
- Inappropriate sexual content
- My highlights are:
- Educational
Reality's problems are harsh, but it's not selling off sex or anything.
It DOES have struggles of sexual and stress probelms in life, but in the end it's very inspirational and overcoming of trials to reach a gial or dream, and it's a fun style to read, like a girl writing a journal. Very poetic in some chapters and altho the issues are cruel and sexual, it's just a girl trying to survive. It's not like the character is asking for it or anything, so it's not teaching girls to act all... well you know the word.

This book relates to any one in many diffrent ways. Its either something you have been thrue, you think its funny, or its just too good. when you read this book you are going to fall in love with it.You will fell like one of the characters and its going to relate to you as if you are the one telling the story.Esperanza is a young lady that moves all across town.when she gets to mango street,she is so ashamed of her raggity old house and gets her feelings heart because of it.After time she makes friends, but there is one friend that she should of never met....read and find out.
