- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Una gran descubrimiento personal. Encantador escuchar a la autora relatar su historia. Atrapa te la vida de una “Casi Una Mujer” sedienta de descubrir el mundo adulto, pero un corazón de niña que acudía a los Brazos de mami, cuando eso sucedía.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The book Almost a Woman by Esmeralda Santiago, takes place in New York as the main character, Negi, grows up. The character is very believable and reading from her point of view lets the reader in all her thoughts and into the story. You feel as if you are growing up along with her. Negi moves to New York from Puerto Rico and deals with poverty, lack of privacy, racism, and feeling homesick.She lives with seven younger siblings and a strict mother in a 3 room apartent. As she gets older she becomes an aspiring actor, a dancer, and dates many guys. She becomes independant after being in the shadow of her mother all her life and gets involved in American ways. The ending of the story leaves you hanging, by never telling the decision Negi makes, but its an intersting book. The thing I liked about this book was the topic. However I disliked that it had some Parental Advisory scenes. It was a great book but, I wish it hadnt ended so soon.
