The House on Mango Street Audiobook

" I was driving from Fresno to Los Angeles and needed to read A house on Mango street, someone reccomended Audiobooks, so I looked it up and joined it. I played it on my 3 1/2 drive. It was amazing hearing the reading , the play back just in case there were and distractions. I was able to stay on task regarding everything that was occurring. I got home and ready to write my book report. Thank you audio books. I just purchased my next book. "

" I loved this book. The little vignettes were so interesting, and weaved perfectly together into one great story. "

" idk I like vignettes. "

" When I finished it, I wanted to give a copy to everyone I knew. "

" Vignettes aren't really my thing, but the content and subject are fascinating. I'd write more, but it's kind of hard to do this on a phone. "

" The book was great and telling about the life of the main character's experiences throughout many places and situations. The book also inspires with emotions inside and you can feel about it. I would recommend you to read this, and think about it. "

" this was the best book ever read in my life i really injoyed that book because it was talking about how new people move on manggo street but the boy didnt want to move to mango street he wanted to stay where he was living but yhe house was old where he was living so he had to move to mango street "

" first vignettes I've read. simple yet moving "

" Read this in Spanish in Spanish! How fun! I don't really know a lot about the barrio in Chicago for Hispanic girls, but this is probably pretty accurate. Plus its way cool that Sandra Cisneros went to the college where I go! SWEETNESS! "

" Unsure. Possibly going to update rating when I have a chance to study it more. This seems like a book that needs at least two more readings to get everything. "

" I thought this book was really boring. Hard to stay focus on what's happening when so many characters are thrown in spontaneously. "

" This book is really good. It may seem that it's books for little kids. But it's not. It about a girl that does silly things around the place where she lives. But as time goes on, she gets scared to go to school and she ends up running away. Where did she go?? Read the book for more information. "

" This book had beautiful imagery. It was a touching story of hopes and dreams and the difficulty in attaining them when your surroundings are not conducive to success. "

" A powerful novel for Women "

" This book was like eating a box of chocolates. Sorry that wasn't so original, but is true for me. Loved the way she put words together--very tasty. Most haunting quote from the book--he bust open like a "powdered doughnut." "

" Very well-written and interesting! "

" Contemplative and reflective; Cisneros's prose makes me want to return to Marquez. "

" Little gem of a book. Very quick read. "

" what i think about this book? Well i didn't really read it because then i was be hided but i read the beginning and i guess it was okay from when i first read it. Well when i read it i was pretty interested and wanted to read more but i never got to i think that the book was going to be good. "

" I fell in love with this books vigorous literary devices, the metaphors and similes are well-crafted and the twists and turns are so heart-breaking. "

" It was very choppy, it told almost nothing about the main characters life. Teaches some interesting things, but in one word I'd call it boring. "

" interestingly enough, much more beautiful to read in Spanish! The language matches the style of the book better than English does. "

" Fabulous mentor book for Reader's and Writer's Workshops. Cisneros is a genius at writing small moments. "

" Great story of life in the inner-city. Poignant. Great characters and themes for the kinds of people and events that a young adult encounters living in a big city. "

" Not one of my favorites, but it had a good theme. "

" I don't think this book went anywhere, a girl starts out with three dollars and a dream and ends up with 1/4 of a bike and a dream. "

" My introduction to vignettes.<br/>I think there was this chapter about the sky I enjoyed...Honors English, Mattessich sophomore year. "

" Vignettes about life from the perspective of a Latina child in an American city - poignant and beautiful. "

" The vignettes expose you to the complex Latin American culture in a beautiful light. "

" I enjoyed it and it was a very fast read however not the best book ever if you know what i mean. My copy was used and this girl had written in it and she summarized the chapters and every thing which was very useful. "

" I love Cisnero's poetic language. She uses figurative language beautifully. The story is one of triumph over obstacles. This was an inspiring, captivating novel that is definitely on my to re-read list. "

" I love this book because it reads like poetry. The themes of gender, alienation, and culture clash are powerful throughout. "

" I read this book for the first time with my Freshman English class. They really got in to it; I, however, have yet to figure out what the big deal is with this book. "

" lovely, lyrical vignettes bearing witness to a poverty and culture. no discernible plot. "

" i just didnt understand the point of this book... "

" I actually liked the book, especially for its creativity and neatness. The writing is excellent, and all of the small stories are interconnected, but work exceptionally well on their own. "
