Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - LOVED THIS BOOK!
I read this book over 15 years ago and loved it. It just spoke to me, and apparently, to all my friends who borrowed it. It is beautifully written!



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - good for immigrants
this is a good book to experience what the immigrants went through regards to culture difference. The quality is not really good because the paper is cut in waves. I don't know if it supposed to be like that or not. But i am not used to turn over such book.



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Too Slow
This book was one that I chose from a list for my Soc 101 class. Had I read the reviews that said that the book was slow and that the characters were disconnected, I would never had read the book. This book is very hard to analyze because it doesn't move anywhere, and is often confusing due to changing time, character, and language. Although I know that the book is obviously going to use Spanish, this was a bad example of how to use it.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - How the Garcia Girls Lost Thier Accent
This is a wonderful Book. The Story of the Four Garcia sisters is told by going back in time from how they came to live in the United States and adapt to this new country to little girls living in Dominican Republic and growing up there, and how they came about to moving to America. Julia Alvarez is an amazing author the book is not only funny, but you can always relate to some part of it. An essay book to read and a lot of fun for people of all age!



Rated by buyers 1 out of 5 stars - Does it get any better
I am 1/3 of the way through this book and I am stalled -- I have read 2 other books since starting this work. It just isn't a rewarding experience for me. There is no driving beat in the book to drive me on.
