Flight to Freedom

really good book

This is a really great book being cuban i can relate to yara. It just shows how different cultures can be. I read this book last year and i loved it. i also loved the diary form of the book and how it shows you when it happend. i would deffanitly recammend this book big time!

Flight To Freedom

This is a book about a girl who came to Miami from Cuba, and writes about her experiences in her diary. I love the way that Veciana-Suarez uses the streets' stores and buildings here in Miami. For example: once I was reading in the car and I noticed that I was on Flagler around the time I was reading about Flagler Street or I would think 'Hey I've been to that place before.' I also like Veciana-Suarez's writing style. The sentences are simple enough so you can read faster. I also like how she wrote about the culture. I often thought of my crazy Cuban relatives while reading about Yara's crazy Cuban relatives. I would even compare them! The book opened my eyes a little wider to my Cuban culture. I will never forget how this book changed the way I view my culture. Flight to Freedom talks alot about the communist government. Reading it I would sometimes say: 'We should give this book to Bush to see if he would help out the Cubans.' This book, I hope, opened the eyes of many young Americans on the issues Cuba faces. I hope that they will now understand Cubans a little better and theat they know about our culture. So if you would like to be educated and enriched by the Cuban clture buy this book. It is the best book you will read. Hey, it was the best book I have ever read!!!!!!

A review July-2005

I'm still reading this book, but so far I think it's okay, it's not terrible and it's not one of my favorites, but I like it all right. Always say ad least one good remark about a book, even if you didn't like it as much, because if you don't you may hurt the author's feelings or so. I recommend it for middle schoolers.

Great

This book rocked! My mom is a cuban immigrant, so that may be why I liked it so much! Its not just about a girl who moves to another country, its about a girl who is growing up in a communist place! It showed how the cubans loved there home so much, and how they had to work in the fields and then whoosh-she moves to Miami! She gets a friend afte being taunted, and shows how everyone has gotta have heart!

I thought it was an interesting book.

I thought this book was that bad. I mean it was a story about a girl Yara who has to move to the US and you read about her experiences and how she needs to adapt to all the new things. Personally, i liked the book because it shows how hard it is adapting to all the new costumes in a totally different place.

The Worst

I THINK THAT IT WAS THE WORST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ IN MY LIFE THE STORY IS ABOUT A GIRL WHO GOES TO ANOTHER COUNTRY BOO HOO WHO CARES IF SOMEONE WRITES A BOOK THEY SHOULD WRITE A GOOD ONE.

It wasn't the Best Book on Earth

When I first started reading it, it was slow and kind of rushed. The middle was defianattly alot better. Though in some parts the author went into great detail about the smallest things and didn't really describe the big events real well. The idea for the ending was good, but it wasn't carried out reall well. It was too rushed. However the author did let the reader really get to know who Yara was. Yara is a strong character. She is young teenager who moves from Cuba to America and is trying to fit in with both countries. At home she has to act Cuban and at school she has to act American. I think that if the author works on her writing she'll turn out pretty good. I would recomand this book for middle schoolers.
