My First Impression

After initially over viewing the book, I found it to be really interesting.The cover was one aspect of the book that caught my eye. She seems to be dance, a crucial part of their culture. Then i went to the back and read all of the reviews, all having nothing but wonderful comments. One of my favorite things to do to get a gist of the chapters is glance at the table of contents. All of the chapters have interesting names and it makes me wonder what it will be about. After that I flipped to the Family tree, noticing many family members. This idea makes me think that their will be alot to the book because there are more characters to be talked about. The first chapter is about Yolanda and is told from third person. It immediately incorporates the Garcia Girls culture and gives an amazing visual. All in all, my first impression of the book is a good one, and i hope for that impression to be proved correct. I looked at the family tree, seeing so many relatives and family that could make for a great book.

  1. The cover Amanda was something that also caught my eye. I think the titel was also something that contributed to me having interest in reading the book. I know it is silly but I liked to color of the book. The warm tones like the yellow and oranges and reads. It gives it a different feels. And even the picture on the front of the book gives another perpective. I did like how the beginning of the book immediately connects to the girls culture, I think this is good become in a way it is foreshadowing to what might happen in the future.
