Summary: THE HOUSE OF THE SPIRITS
Review: The House of the Spirits is a terrific book. I recently read it for my high school historical literature class, and I was suprised as to how much I enjoyed it. I especially found the book great because it had the ability to make me view my own life a bit differently as well as educating myself on a new culture, I was previously unaware of. Isabel Allende did an excellent job write the novel, in the sense that every word helped describe the mood and feeling the book carried, I would recommend this to all types of readers.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Un libro que tienes sus propios espiritus
Review: Es un libro sensible, lleno de caracteres impresionantes pero reales. Temas como el machismo, el feminismo, la libertad, la revolucion estan presentes en esta novela como huella exclusiva de la humanidad. Una historia de amor, de rencores, de arrepentimiento, de esperanza y de inspiracion.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow!
Review: South American literature is so frequently forgotten in schools and the so-called 'mainstream' selections, but the wealth of imagery and vitality in this novel are truly astonishing.

Isabel Allende manages so effortlessly to move the reader through the densely populated world she creates with such an effortless mixture of fantasy and reality that you will be held by this great work of fiction.

Definitely a book that must be read, if only for the tremendous insight it provides to the Chilean culture.

Rating: 5 stars

She has created unforgetable characters that you both love and hate and the story stirs up huge emotions in the reader while telling an awesome story. This is the best novel I have ever read. If there is a book that would deserve a 6 star rating, this would be it.

Summary: Kimberly Herner's Review
Review: I think that this book was one that really makes youthink. There are parts of the book that are sentamental, grose andones that you can relate to. The beging is extreimly slow, and I didn't like it at all. Due to the fact that I had to read it I did and enjoyed it more once I got into it. The House of Spirits is deffinentaly a book that I would recomend for older individuals. It is bannd from many schools and I can see why.
