A review by hanzy
The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
3.0
I'd give this book a 3.5
The inconsistent and slightly incoherent prose seemed difficult to follow initially but turned out to be the very core of the charm of this book. Through a somewhat child-like perspective, we see the flawed society at its very heart, a view of the society through the eyes of immigrants, or maybe a third-culture kid...it was interesting, frustrating, sad, and hopeful.
