Como las muchachas Garcia perdieron su acento Audiobook (Unabridged)

" An enjoyable book that was recommended to me by my good friend Domenica. I found myself not engaging with the Garcia girls characters as I would have imagined but nonetheless their journey of self-understanding as well as establishing with it their cultural position made for an interesting read. All in though, I prefer the magically realistic twist Alleged brings to her tales of latina women. "

" This book was ok. I thought it could've been better if it were written from the point of view from when they were younger to when they were older. Also the garcia girls were very similar in personality so it was hard to differentiate from while I was reading. The character development wasn't great. Overall I thought the book was alright. "

" I read this book when I was younger, but it really moved me. "

" Julia Alvarez is a terrific writer and pretty much anything she does is a good read. "

" Entertaining story of a Dominican family living in the Bronx and how the four daughters deal with the influences of their adopted home and the traditions of their almost-forgotten home. "

" i KNOW i'm a fan of the latino migrant experience(surprise, surprise!) but this book is particularly well done. Alvarez does a phenomenal job of capturing the four sisters' thoughts/experiences as they age and evolve. and i love that each chapter of this book is pretty much it's own short story. "

" The constant changes in voice made the whole novel feel disjointed to me. I felt like I couldn't connect with any one character or their experience. "

" I loved getting to know this family...their culture in the Dominican Republic and after moving to America. These were vivid, well-developed characters who met the challenges of a new land in different ways. "

" This book that I have read was not one of my favorites. It was a bit of a challenge becuase the story goes from when they were old to when they were little. Other people could relate to it but not me. I didn't really find this book intresting. "

" Standing alone, this book is good. But if you've read Something to Declare, then you've pretty much read this one too. Pick one as Julia is a great writer, but she really needs to branch out from the same stories. "

" i think this is the book that made me want to write. "

" I have yet to read a Julia Alvarez book I didn't love. "

" The ending of this book made me so mad I don't even want to talk about it. "

" This was an enjoyable read, but I think it would have been better if the events were in early to late sequence and if the author spent more time exploring the unique situations of each sister. As it was, I felt like I only had a brief glimpse of their lives, mainly Yolanda's. "

" I read this in high school, but I don't remember why. I think it may have been summer reading. I don't know that I totally loved this, but I was happy to be exposed to Alvarez. "

" slightly interesting, but not worth the time "

" it was great, this was the first book in english that i read "

" A well written piece that takes a fresh look at the immigrant experience and uses crafty literary devices to exemplify the transition in identity and personality that occurs for many immigrants. My only problem: it feels false and construed at times. "

" I really kept thinking this book would pull itself together, but I just didn't get much out of it. "

" Has a Boringg Start But then it getts interestingg towarddd the middle. "

" Loved the second to last chapter the most! Cleverly written. "

" It was original and funny and interesting and different.I just didn't love it. "

" Has anyone read this book....I want to know a bit more of it "

" A thoughtful and enjoyable story of four sisters, uprooted from their family enclave in the Dominican Republic and transplanted to New York, trying to make sense of the world they live in. "

" Meh. Just didn't draw me in. There were some great segments and some weird segments, but I guess I was expecting something different. Interesting glimpse into life in the Dominican Republic, though. "

" Even after finishing this book I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. There was really no plot. It was basically a whole bunch of short stories about the four Dominican sister's lives. The book went backwards in time from their adulthood in America to their childhood in the Dominican Republic. "

" After reading another one of Alvarez's books, I was looking forward to this one. It started off promising with details of family traditions and a Latin way of life, but I soon became bored. I disliked all the shifting of storytellers. I also didn't like all the sexual stories and references. "
