review 1: I read this play when I was a senior in high school. At first I thought I'd hate it with all my might. When I started reading it, I didn't expect it would catch my attention. And, to be honest, I might have liked a character or two but that was about it. When I got to the second stamp, things started to change. I found myself caught up on the play. I got to enjoy it after all. It certainly isn't one of my favorites, but I did enjoy it. It was fun and the characters were well developed. I'd like to see it on stage. Maybe it's better?
review 2: Tragic play that follows a Puerto Rican family from the mountains (act I) to la Perla, a slum in San Juan, (act II) to New York (act III). Each movement holds the promise of a brighter future for this family, but ends up ... morebringing them closer to the tragic ending. The wise old grandfather delivers the message of the play: puertorriqueños would be better off if they stayed close to their land and didn't leave for the metropolis. It's written the way a Puerto Rican family from el campo might speak so "'e" instead of "de." "Má ná" for "más nada." less
