Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson

3.0

I don’t really like poetry so I don’t read it much. Therefore, I really can’t weigh in all that much on this book. I’ve read two other Jacqueline Woodson’s books and based on her writing style in those, I feel poetry was the perfect way for her to present her autobiography. In my limited experience she normally has a loose, airy kind of way of writing that is very reminiscent of poetry anyways.

It was fine for me. I think other people will get more out of it than I did simply because of how little I care for the genre. I can’t recommend one way or the other because I do not have strong feelings either way.
