The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros

Recommended for: Nobody

I must admit, out of all the books I've read, this is one of the worst. The writing style is boring, the story: not moving, and the premise is even sleepier then Ameno Acid injected into a Ronald Regan Film. Yuck.

Kimberley sooo true..it was a nightmare..but ok !


message 2: by Willa (new)

Willa the micro-fiction aspect of it made it okay, but if it hadn't been in a short story format, I wouldn't have the ability to stand it at all.


Kimberley omg..kirk you only gave one star at least give 3 stars or two !


message 4: by Willa (new)

Willa if he hated it, which he did, he didn't need to give it so many stars! it's his review!


Kimberley geez...sorry.... ur going to make the author feel bad !


Maia Well Kirk's a critic! What can we do about it? Kirk has his opinions and it's his right. ALthough I would be hurt, but know people have other opinions, someone must lie it. I know, I'm jibber-jabbin.


Kimberley so show some generosity


message 8: by Willa (new)

Willa why does he need to be so generous when he reviews a book? it's a review! you're SUPPOSED to say what you like and didn't like in a book!


Maia lol, yeah, what she said. I mean the author won't even come on here (most likely), and did you hear the intro? She's been through worse.

message 11: by Willa (new)

Willa yes, maia and i are so mean because we like kirk to be able to freely share his opinion...hello?! first amendment! freedom of speech! kirk can say whatever he wants!


message 12: by Kimberley (last edited Dec 30, 2007 03:19pm) (new) - rated it 4 stars

Kimberley I am talking about the rating..like seriosuly one star..give two...... It wasn't that bad !


message 13: by Willa (new)

Willa it wasn't that bad IN YOUR OPINION, because clearly, Kirk has his own opinion and it's different than yours!


Kimberley I rest my case but Is til agree with mines..but I am not aganist his oppinion ..but nhis rating..which is not cool..wait the oppinion is kind of the rating but Its the holidays.....SHOW SOME GENEROSITY PEOPLE
i don't make sense right now..but u shall understand !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats right and thats the final word from Kinberley !!!!:D


message 15: by Willa (new)

Willa And my final word is that Kirk can rate the books on is list as he pleases, and he doesn't have to give a generous rating if he doesn't want to! Hmph!


Kimberley don't hmph me.....
meanie...people.....ha !
i'll hmph you guys back.. HA..thats right u mess with me..ok bye people..cya later at school..which is next week !


message 17: by Maia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Maia Okay, Kirk can say what he wants. this is a site for people to review books. Realize kimberley that I gave this book a very high rating. I love this book. ANd i respect kirk's opinions. As willa said, it is his right. I did understand you, it just doesn't work out. DOn't mess. yeah, we didn't really mess with you. We are telling you that Kirk is entitled to his opinions (and ratings) and you can't make him not give his own opinions. That is just plain wrong!!!


message 18: by Willa (new)

Willa EXACTLY!!! WHAT SHE SAID!!!


Kimberley Well excuse me.... Kirk thats not fair... u have 2 lawyers and who do i have ..nobody.... ok.. i see how it is..well....save it for the judge..
:P.... well irest my case.. u guys win thsi round....but I will rasie again..mwah..hahaha
bye people !


message 20: by Maia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Maia How can you rest your case if we win? you can find people. or you can take our side, (we are saying kirk can have his opinions and views (notice, view is in the word reVIEW, and that is what this sight is for, for people to show their views (aka: reviews) and opinions on books they have read. yes you will rise again! So will we rise again as well.


message 21: by Willa (new)

Willa exactly! kirk can have his opinions and you can have yours! you believe kirk should change his rating, and we believe he can keep it or change it, HIS decision. not yours.


message 22: by Maia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Maia so true. :)


Kimberley don't start with me when its 11:32 pm and its almost midnight for the countdown to 2008..:P
you guys will pay !


Kimberley ok..fine .. i rest my case !


Kimberley this over or is it? hmmmmm
any comebacks?


message 26: by Maia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Maia yes, comebacks. It wasn't our decision for you to look here at that time. You knew that there would be something.


message 27: by Willa (new)

Willa yup. have a happy, PERSONAL review-full year, Kirk! say what you want! maia and i are here to battle your case against kim who wants to be so nice!


message 28: by Maia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Maia The truth isn't always perdy! Yup kirk, i agree with w/e Willy says!!! :)


message 29: by Kirk (new) - rated it 1 star

Kirk I have 2 lawyers???? What?


Kimberley welll.. I have a lawyer and its name is Kimberley..thats right..fear the name and .... of course i am nice.. i am practically snow white...hmph !


message 31: by Willa (last edited Jan 02, 2008 01:33pm) (new)

Willa yes, kimberley....maia and i are SOOO scared (NOT). again, by the first amendment of the constitution of the united states of america, kirk (i wont put your last name), a citizen of the united states, has the rights to freedom of speech in addition to freedom of the press. therefore, kirk has the right to post his personal views and reviews on any book, such as House on Mango Street. you can't argue with the law kim!


Kimberley yes i can... it says so in the book kimolaws...yup..... it was published in 1982...yup..and this not Americ apeople this Kimamerica and this the KSA thats right...fear...cuz you live in the ksa...its the law !



message 33: by Maia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Maia SO stupid. I hate to use that word, but it is. Kimberley, this is America, the country of "freedom," not KIMamerica, the land of stuff kimberley makes up. How many people call this country what you say it is? You're livin in your own world, under your rules. We aren't. Kirk can say what he likes. And snow white? where did that come from?


message 34: by Kimberley (last edited Jan 02, 2008 06:14pm) (new) - rated it 4 stars

Kimberley it came from my imagination.. hmph..i am mad...u hurt my feelings..and this is kimamerica..hmph..deal with it !


message 35: by Maia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Maia It is not Kimamerica. You said yourself, it is your imagination. We do not live in your imagination. People get hurt feelings kimberley. I am not gonna deal with a lie.


Kimberley hmph.. talk to hand cuz u make no sense !


message 37: by Maia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Maia I make no sense? Kimberley, your living in tour own land, expecting us to follow your rules.


message 38: by Willa (new)

Willa can we take the bit of the argument that doesn't have to do with kirk OUTSIDE of kirk's comments on his review?
love you guys...but i dont think we need to comment about each other on kirk's review page.


message 39: by Maia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Maia kk, love you 2 willy! dont back down. :)


message 40: by Willa (new)

Willa not backing down, just trying to bring the argument AWAY from this page. :)


message 41: by Maia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Maia I meant to say Kirk dont back down (and like change his rating/review)


message 42: by Willa (new)

Willa lol ok. i agree!!


Kimberley she started it...at least i have a good imagination..hmph....!!!!


message 44: by Maia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Maia I thought we left the things not having to do w/ kirk alone. Or somewhere else. Who says I dont have a good imagination? And I didn't. I was one of the last to comment.


message 45: by [deleted user] (new)

Kirk. Well said. That book was awful. I can still smell the stench.


Kimberley WELL I HAVE AGOOD IMAGIANTION.... HMPH...... 1 yo zach help me... i ahve no lawyer besides myself... U GUYS ARE GOING DOWNTOWN !


message 47: by Maia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Maia Zach shares the same opinion as kirk I believe. WHat does imagination have to do w/ anything, stop repeating yourself. We live in downtown!!! GOSH! having more lawyers doesnt make you better.


Kimberley I know we live in downtown so i am taking u downtown even more ! HMPH ! MAYBE UPTOWN YEAH IAM TAKING U UPTOWN THATS RIHT !


message 49: by Maia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Maia Why is uptown so bad? My dad works there. I live all ova downtown, and this is Kirk's board, so let's keep the subject on stuff having to do w/ kirk or kirk.


Kimberley HMPH W/E !
