The House On Mango Street: Sandra Cisneros is Brilliant

Date of Review:  Jul 13, 2002
The Bottom Line: Sandra Cisneros has written a touching and beautiful book.

House on Mango Street - Unique slice-of-life style - Neat book!

Date of Review:  Jun 15, 2002
The Bottom Line: Journal style collection of thoughts on life as a Mexican-American female kid. Unique approach and excellent descriptions.
Review: When The House on Mango Street arrived in my mailbox through half.com, I thought: What the heck is this? It was a skinny little book with 110 pages. It looked like it might be a book for young adults, so I thought I might be a little bored reading...

Review: I recently joined a new women's book group made up of university faculty, staff and students. For the inaugural book, we decided to read The House on Mango Street, Sandra Cisnero's novel about growing in a Chicago Latino neighborhood. Taking a cue...

Sober, affecting novel for young readers

Date of Review:  Aug 10, 2004
The Bottom Line: Touching, empathetically written young readers' novel
Review: "A poem should not mean, but be." -- Archibald MacLeish, Ars Poetica

Sandra Cisneros' 1984 novel The House on Mango Street is bound to puzzle a lot of students, especially those who remember their literary terms all too well. There's not...

Subtle, but Brilliant

Date of Review:  May 22, 2000
Review: The House on Mango Street is another book that popped up on the reading list generated by the (now defunct) BookMatcher at Amazon.com. (I am one of those people that loves lists; I can't seem to help myself). As usual, the BookMatcher was right - I...

Our house. In the middle of the street.

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: A 110 page masterpiece, written as concisely and exquisitely as possible. Impressive perfection.
Review: It occurs to me that I don't know if this book was originally intended to be considered a young adult novel back in 1984 when it was published. Over the past twenty-plus years since it came out, though, it's certainly been remembered that way...

Cisneros' The House on Mango Street

Date of Review:  Mar 23, 2001
The Bottom Line: A good "novel of stories" that tells of a young gril growing up in the Latin American districts of Chicago in a contemporary setting.
Review: Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street is a short "novel of stories" revolving around the world of Esperanza, a young Latino teen in Chicago. The story tells of her growing up in the poorer, ethnic regions of the city and her aspirations toward...

Deceptively Brilliant

Date of Review:  Mar 26, 2001
The Bottom Line: This book is very poetic and profound. Easy reading!
Review:
This book was one of the best books I have read in a while.

I read the entire book in one day. Sandra Cisneros crafted this collection of mostly unrelated events beautifully. Every chapter (usually 2-4 pages long) contains either the...
