The House on Mango Street

Easy read. I've never read a book like it. At first I was a little thrown but the more I read the more I liked it. I didn't frown up in the city of Chicago, nor am I Hispanic, but it's amazing how much her vignettes felt so similar to vignettes in my own childhood.
And after reading some other reviews I found that this is a “vignettes” style of writing. Got to say that I might like this style of writing.
