- Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas3/5This book was a little slow to start, but once it got going, it was pretty good. I would have liked Lauren (the main character) to be a little more sympathetic. Even at the end I just found her abrasive.
- Calificación: 2 de 5 estrellas2/5The Spanglish was horrendous and off-putting for me (I cringed every time); it made the characters sound uneducated, despite their college degrees. The story could have been more tightly woven, instead of a handful of separate stories that were implausibly and loosely strung together. In the end, most of the ladies fit the female stereotype of needing to end up with a man in order to be happy, which is what the author set out not to do (not to mention that two of them were "gold diggers" despite having their own successful careers). The stories were predictable and not as well written as I would have hoped for a book on the New York Times Bestseller List.
- Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas3/5I started reading this book once and put it down. It definitely benefited from the audio version to make the voices come alive in my head. But I still have he same problem with it. nothing happens. The character sketches are interesting, but nothing's going on. Talking heads taken to the extreme. And in the audio version, moreso than the book, it was confusing to keep in mind whose story I'm supposed to be following. I had a hard time being motivated enough to finish it.

- Calificación: 1 de 5 estrellas1/5A thoroughly horrible book. I hated all the Spanglish and some of the women needed to be smacked, Lauren, Amber and Sara particularly. The author wanted to portray the differences between different types of Hispanic women, but all of these characters were unlikeable and such extreme things happened to them that I doubt they are even partially realistic portrayals.
- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5A blurb from New York claims this reads "like the Hispanic version of Waiting to Exhale." I can see similarities in this tale of close girlfriends, but I hated Waiting to Exhale, while I loved Dirty Girls Social Club. I loved how this book recognized and reveled in the diversity of Hispanics and how we don't fit the stereotypes. That we are white--and black--and only sometimes brown. That besides Catholic, "Latinas come in 'Jew'" as well as Born-Again Christian. That "Hispanic" embraces very different cultures from Old Spain to Indio to African and various mixes thereof. That some of us are Republican and not inevitably Democrat. And those of us from a Caribbean background who enjoy maduros and tostones are enjoying a cuisine very different from the Mexican food you'd find in the American South West. Valdes points all this up through the "Buena Sucios"--a group of six friends who met at Boston University who meet twice a year to keep their bonds strong. There's Amber, a California Chicana and musician who is all into the "Mexica Movement" that tries to return to "Aztec" roots; Sara, a Cuban Jew and stay at home wife and mother; Elizabeth, a network television reporter--she's a black born in Columbia who, judging from her looks, American blacks can't believe isn't a "sister;" the brilliant Usnavys, a Puerto Rican/Dominican who rose to riches from Boston's projects; Rebecca from New Mexico, a magazine entrepreneur who snootily emphasizes her Spanish origins--and then there's Lauren. Lauren is the first character we meet, the first voice in a series of first person narrators--all done in present tense in a manner that makes you feel that each is intimately whispering into your ear. It's a little scary how easily I identified with the abrasive "know-it-all" Lauren. Like her, I'm "not a good Latina" and feel like a "fraud" at times if I present myself as Hispanic. Like her I'm half-Hispanic, with the other half consisting of "white," my Spanish is spotty at best and I'm too light skinned to fit people's conception of "Latina." Thing is, I don't tend to seek out things "ethnic" or Hispanic. I tried this book because it was on a list of book recommendations. But there's so much of the Sucias' experiences I could identify with and recognized. So many lines where I wanted to shout YES--this. After so many books where I've read about how you can recognize a Puerto Rican at a look (often from their flashy knives), it was great to read a book that celebrates how diverse Hispanics are. Beyond that, my heart broke for Elizabeth and Sara, and I'm surprised how much I grew to like Rebecca and Amber. Diametric opposites in so many ways and yet alike in how both struck me at first as poseurs--both irritated me at first acquaintance. I don't know that this novel is so intrinsically good in terms of the writing I'd be so impressed if this was yet another excursion into frothy Upper Class WASPs usually inhabited by chicklit. The book is episodic in structure, and the reviewer that says it rather buys into happiness means having a sig other by your side is right. Yes, much of the plot is predictable yet farfetched. And I have to agree with yet another reviewer who said it was a bit too convenient how the six fell so neatly into different demographic groups of "Hispanic." I also found it hard to credit that portrait of a sweet, sensitive genius drug dealer. But the novel held up enough of a mirror for me to feel right at home with these six (not that home is always a comfortable place to be) and it's not just a celebration of diversity, but of friendship. I loved the time I spent with this group of friends.
- Calificación: 4 de 5 estrellas4/5My daughter and me (she was 15 back then) we loved it. This was what I wrote about this book on Monday, July 04, 2005
In case you did not,Rowena (15) stole it from me and she loved the book.
She pleaded to me not to release it she wants me to check if this writer has written more books. (I think this was her first one )
so it was a great success
I had read the first pages but had some problems because so many names and characters are introduced by Lauren in that first chapter
Anyway even though I had some problems I knew I would love this book, and I was right
Love books about various women and there friendships together and in which each of them tells there own story.
That's why I like jennifer Weiner and Rona jaffe's books to and this is one similar.
You did send me (us) a great book of my wish list
Thanks for this spring fling gift :-) - Calificación: 3 de 5 estrellas3/5Five Hispanics become friends in college, forming the sucias, the dirty girls. I love all the Hispanic culture, the Spanish words and phrases, so much that I can overlook the amazing way that each of the five is from a different Spanish subculture, almost as if they were chosen for a Census Bureau study, and the happily-ever-after endings that occur for each woman, even the gay woman journalist, even the battered wife, even the girl dating the former drug dealer.
