  “Loved the story "Eleven". Beyond that, Sandra Cisneros' stories sound very.... Sandra Cisneros (if you've read her work, you'll know what I mean.)”

  “This is basically a book filled with lots of stories about women's troubles and trials. A lot of them take place in spanish-speaking countries, so they are sometimes not what you would expect them to be. But still, some are from America, and have the same meaning.
  This book was just OK. There were a lot of things that I didn't understand, such as the culture of some places. But there is a story in this book that I was familiar with. It is called "Eleven". It was a cute story, and it showed the perfect example of a day in the life of an elementary schooler.”

  “This writer has a beautiful whimsy to her writing that makes it seem like a continuing poem. I read this one long ago But I've really enjoyed her newer ones since. ”
