Woman Hollering Creek and Other Stories by Sandra Cisneros

3.0

It’s a little harder to rate a collection of short stories because there were some stories i loved and some i didn’t like as much. Unlike The House On Mango Street (which I read a long time ago but remember that I loved), Woman Hollering Creek is told from all different characters, so it was a little harder to motivate myself to keep reading on to the next story about a character I didn’t feel attached to. My favorite stories were “Eleven”, “My Tocaya”, and “Little Mitacles, Kept Promises”, a catalogue of prayers left for saints. I couldn’t really get into “Eyes of Zapata” one of the longest stories in the book. “Woman Hollering Creek”, “Never Mary a Mexican” and “Bien Pretty” I’m glad I read, even though they were a little harder to get into.
