The Secret Story of Sonia Rodriquez Audiobook (Unabridged)

" The Secret Story of Sonia Rodriguez was a very good book. I found this book very intresting. I was able to relate with some of the stuff that was happening in it. To me I could not let this book go because i just had to keep reading it. Overall,this book was very good. "

" It's a very angry book -- the narrator's angry at her culture, her family, the way she's being treated and America -- but it's worth it to stick through to the end. Good portrayal of immigration and the issues surrounding children of immigrants. "

" Good insight into the Hispanic culture. And yes, I agree with many of the stereotypes he portrays. I was glad to see that she broke out of the stereotype to become something other than a young mother. "

" Great read. I particularly enjoyed Sonia's trip to Mexico to visit her relatives. "

" This book was a reflection on my culture. I really enjoyed the author caputured me in a good way. She a teenager in a culture that a young woman expected to do everything. She was the first to got to collage and attend the unvirsty. in which i could relate to this character in soo many ways because i will too be the first to graduate and go to collage. "

" My english teacher told me about this nook, and how i might like it. I did. Its a great book, about family loyalty. It also didn't end like I expected it to. "

" Such a powerful book. "

" Shit this book is real as hell "

" My eighth graders love this book. The love interest is a little over the top for me but I loved the part where she spends time with her family in Mexico. A worthwhile read. "

" i love this book because it shows a real life story "

" It's an amazing book. (: "

" At first while reading this book I kept thinking well okay when was it going to end but eventually I began to like it. "

" This is a great story for 14 and older girls. While all of my latino students will enjoy this book, I have many other girls who will also find in Sonia a kindred spirit. "

" Loved this book. It is about a hispanic girl trying to finish high school, but cultural and family responsibilities keep interfering. "

" There was a genuine appeal to the character and her dilemma. The voice was easy and the character a real person that many can relate to regardless of ethnicity. The ending was a bit pat but still believable. Perhaps we need to tie everything up from time to time. "

" This book was amazing. Kudos to the author I never knew anything about how hard life for Illegal Mexican Immigrants could be but i learned and the book was a perfect mix of romance, tragedy, drama, and horror "

" Best book Ive ever read! (: "

" Definitely one of the top this year! Very touching, funny and insightful. I learned a lot about the Hispanic culture and what influences Sonia had to deal with. "

" Sonia suffers through a complicated litany of family issues, but, through persistence and some timely coaching ends up achieving her goal of high school graduation and higher ed. This offers some multicultural appeal, but seems to be full of stereotypical characters. "

" This is a well-written, straightforward story. While the narrator's voice is innocent and positive, she is confronted with some very ugly realities of life. Not a junior high read. "

" i love this book because it shows a real life story "

" It gives a vivid picture of the life of Mexican/Americans who have illegal immigrant parents. "
