#1: Front & Back Cover & First Chaper

I feel like the front and back cover of How the Garcia Girls Lose Their Accents by Jukia Alvarez attracts my eye and seems like a descent book. From readind the last comment for the novel, I am afraid I might not like this book because Albany Metroland comments that it is "like Amy Tan." I did not like The Bonesetters Daughter by Amy Tan, so I am not sure if I am going to enjoy this book or not. After reading the back cover, I feel as though this book will be full of drama and these girls searching for their identity in a new place, America. I believe that before the Garcia girls come to America, they were a rich family. I feel this book will be interesting, even though it was said to be like Amy Tan's writing. After the first seven pages that I read, the writing was very descriptive and I could imagine the scenes playing out in my head. I find the girl one the front cover interesting because the girl on front cover seems to be in fast motion and I feel that maybe the book will have to deal with maybe their move to New York from the Dominican Republic being quick. I think I will enjoy this book because when I was reading the first few pages, I felt as if it was a page turner and a good plot so far. The family's way of life stands out to me early on because it seems that they are a rich and well-off family. My prediction is that the family's way of living will be changed dramatically very soon.
