Summary: Joyful, Amazing, and Wounderful
Review: This book makes you sit and not want to get up untill you are done with the whole book. Isabele allende uses easy and fun language. She makes it easy for all ages to actually be able to understand it and get the main poins of the book. The book grabs your attention to the point that you want to get into the book and resolve some of the problems that the chracters are going through. You actually feel like you are part of the book, and at the same time like you are watching a movie because the language is very descriptive. This has actually been one of the most joyful, and amazing books that i have read through my life. I also thought that it was really funny how the book ended the way it started. "Barabes came to us by sea...."

Summary: House of Spirits
Review: I thought that this book was wonderfully written, and that the plot was also fantastic. The only complaint I would have is that the political mumbo-jumbo got in the way of the plot which I found interesting. In this book there are really 2 stories. One of the Trueba family, and another of politics. The first includes the lives of 3 generations of daughters, each with a seperate identity, yet still being unified by their history together. I would recommend this book mainly to women, as it is based on 3 women's lives.

Summary: Different
Review: Isabel Allende's "The House of the Spirits" is quite different than previous books I have read. As the book went on, it sort of grew on me although I'm not a typical fan of this type of Romantic/Feminine Novel. Allende's brilliance and technique for writing this novel gives the reader a well written piece that could be inspiring to some women today. Great read and recommended!

Summary: My thoughts on the house of spirits
Review: I thought that Isabel Allende's book The House of Spirits was a pretty good book to read. Im not a fan of reading much, but when I was given the assignment of reading this novel by my english teacher, I couldn't stop reading it . It's the story of a woman with supernatural powers, her male tart of a husband, and their stuggles with each other, their daughter, sister in law, and political issues. I really thought that this novel was worth reading and maybe you will enjoy it too!

Summary: Strong women in a socierty ruled by men.
Review: The House of Spirits is an amazing novel, and after you have started reading it, it is impossible to put it down. Even though the central character of the story is Esteban Trueba and everything seems to revolve around him, it is the women of his family that dominate. Clara, Blanca, and Alba are strong women, who fight for what they believe in. They are criticized by society because of their revolutionary ideas, since they live in a conservative world that is slowly changing. Even though they are limited to express themselves freely, they find a way to help others and work towards defending the rights of women secretly. Esteban Trueba is a very strong character, and he has the typical qualities of a macho man; by putting these women in his life I think he is able to learn a very valuable lesson. He ends up suffering and realizing how wrong he was about some of his believes. He ends up understanding the needs and the personalities of his wife, daughter, and his granddaughter.

Summary: The House of Spirits
Review: I think that Isabel Allende's The House of Spirits is a great book to read. The story has a little bit of everything in it to make the reader want to go back and keep reading. One theory that is throughout the novel is the constant struggle between Women and Society. All the women in the story are continuously struggling with an outside predicament that enables them to be able to speak freely and have the freedoms we have today. I personally have enjoyed reading the novel. READ IT...IT'S A GOOD NOVEL!!

Summary: My Opinion of The House of Spirits
Review: The House of Spirits is an amazing novel about Esteban Trueba and Clara the clairvoyant. The story spans 75 years with hardships that the two face in society. This book makes you want to keep on reading and not put it down. With all of the suspense and drama, why wouldn't you! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read and one that wants to read about changes between two totally different people.
