Sandra Cisneros's style and her ability to spin a tale does not disappoint in "Woman Hollering Creek: And Other Stories." At times, her writing lyrical and the words are strung together in patterns. At other times, it is as though she is a best friend who has picked up a conversation with you just where she left off the other night.

I read this book for a Chicano litterature class in college, and absolutely fell in love. The stories are so touching and real, they will stay with you for a very long time. The stories will come to me and different times and make me smile. I would deffinately recommend this book.

Wow - I don't agree at all with the reviewers who coined this "feminist" or "chicana". I mean, sure it is that, but it's so much more!
Cisneros's use of language and lyricism is at once beautiful and incredibly effective. She is one of the few writers who uses dialect to the advantage and not the detriment of her story, speaking volumes about her characters through their own voices.
