Summary: Bodega rocks!
Review: From the moment i picked this novel up to the minute i finished it i was entranced by how believable yet wonderful these characters in this book are portrayed. I am not one who likes many books. I do not enjoy reading normally but i reccomend this book to anyone who has an open enough mind to put yourself in these characters positions. This is the best novel i have ever read and i am not afraid to admit it!

Summary: Bodega Dreams Review
Review: Bodega Dreams is a combination of drugs, loyalty, and betrayal. I chose this book out of a list of books given to me by my English teacher. We discussed and summarized the events of the book within our assigned groups. I gave it 4 stars, because it sometimes felt like I was reading a soap opera. However I enjoyed reading it for the most part and I'm glad I chose Bodega Dreams opposed to another option.

Summary: good but could be better
Review: The novel Bodega Dreams is a suspenseful book , the only problem is that all the excitement comes at the end of the book .The book is very descriptive and makes you feel as if you grew up with the main character and that you are going through his life situations right with him.
The end leaves you wondering what happened to everyone in the book ,it tells you how it solved one problem but after reading the book you sit down and think to yourself what happened with all the other characters so it is a cliffhanger [ I guess you can make up your own ending and make things turn out the way you want it to ]. I recommend this book to a mature audience .

Summary: A great Novel and a Good Influence.
Review: Bodega Dreams is a interesting novel for the many reasons:It tell us a real story, the story wich we are living today. It teach us the good and bad thing than happen on the streets. It talks about Drugs, guns, and how dangeruos is to be a drugdealer a gang member. The more importante part is when they talk about how people could stay out of it and start all over.There is always a chance for you to start things over.

Summary: Que Libro!
Review: I loved this book. I really liked the young couple. I hope they get back together in the second book. There's got to be a second book because there are too many loose ends left untied at the end, Nazario is alive and he is smart enough to beat that rap and come back to make trouble. Also, Sapo is too. I would tell everyone to read this book.

Summary: This book is great
Review: I loved this book. I think all Latin-Americans should read this book. I do not read that much but I read this book in two days I could not put it down. I recomend this book to everyone. I liked it so much I want to read it again. Quinonez is a promising author and I can't wait to read his next book.

Summary: The only one worth reading
Review: All these so call "Latino Writers", suck. Junot Diaz, sucks big and can't write a new book, it's been almost ten years. Afte that cheap, tiny collection of short stories that has margins as big as elephants and fonts as big as his ego. Making his book seem thicker than it is. So too sucks, that new unreadable book by Ed Vega. The only one worth reading is this guy, Why? He keeps it real, though I have issues with him too. I think the book could have had more narrative, too much talk. But Bodega Dreams is the best of the bunch. From a fail latino writer who knows what good work is.

Summary: Please read this book!
Review: I happened upon this book at the library, read and loved
it, and have been recommending it widely. On one hand, the story
is a completely engaging account of life in Spanish Harlem, but
it goes beyond that by giving us characters that embody
conflicts we all go through, to one extent or another.
It questions the acceptability of risk and compromise in creating a better future, on both personal and social levels.
The characters are simply and powerfully rendered: I felt like
I had just had a long and engaging conversation with Chino
(the main character) after finishing the book.
Part of me is curious to find out what he's been
up to since the book ended (a feeling I love coming away from
a book with). This book is a great example of the valor that lies in
avoiding heavy-handed prose, and opting instead for truth
and human connection. I can't wait to read something else
from Quinonez.

Summary: Enjoyed it
Review: I really enjoyed this book. It was a story that was set in a place that hardly ever gets heard from. As a non-Spanish speaker, I was a little put out by the use of Spanish and not knowing what they were saying. The end provided a twist that I didn't expect. Good, quick, read.
