The mother's tradition makes Tita to put her emotional reations into her cooking,she wants someone to love and she did the best to got it till her dead.

All moments when I was reading it were so remarkable, keeping me all the time in the play.The muvie was really good too it made remind my past time when I was more young of age when I had to do many things to get my really true love.

I think this novel like water for chocolate has some in common with the relationships of all people,the only differnce is all the emotions and problems came out from the kitchen and all doors of love were in there, that it was good to say. I would like to say to all people not to forget this book and the muvie.

Summary: A bad tradition vs, true love
Review: Like Water For Chocolate is a novel about a Mexican tradition long time ago in the Revolution time. It taught us how a bad tradition can destroy the life of the different characters from this story. Mama Elena is a strict and rude person but she had a reason to be like this because she had a hard childhood. I think her parents taught her strict rules in life, If Mama Elena had realized her love with Jose Trevino, she would not have been frustrated and she would have undestood Tita. Tita was a sweet girl but she was insecure and weak character because she did not fight for her love. She was a good cook and good person. Pedro was a weak man because he decided to get married to Rosaura than elope with Tita. Anyway all of characters of this story are very interesting and this novel teach us that never let leave the opportunity to be happy, life is one time ONLY.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: a little sweet love
Review: Like Water for Chocolate is a novel. I can't confuse somethings. I can't get answers until I finish reading the book. First, Who works to keep the family life? Second, what is Pedro doing? Third,Why does Tita love him and die for him? Pedro should be a special person. Because Tita is beautiful girl, she is smart, she like working, especially cooking. What is special for him? why the smart girl loves the coward man so much? The story and movie could be clearly to the readers about the in face life. I think that is successful about Mama Elena's actress.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Sad and Romantic book
Review: Like Water for Chocolate for me is a sad story because Tita,the principal actor suffered too much.I think that she didn't deserve that because she was a wandeful girl, she had a great heart with everybody and many qualities too. And it was terrible because her mother spoiled her life because she was a selfish person and a bad mother.And Pedro he was a little coward because he let mama Elena caused separation between them. I think this book have a lot of fantasy,recepies and a little funny about same gossip characters.I compare this book like a fruit salad because it has many topics I found it very interesting.

Summary: Like water for chocolate
Review: I think terrible tradition in the family,the young girl was forced to find her true love. Rosaura was forced for Tita's mom marriage with the man that he,s not felt in love for her. Pedro decided married with Tita's sister, forced for his father and his mother-inlow. In the book we saw that the end, the love triunph. The youngest girl find her former boyfriend, the reazon triunph over the traditions of the families. Because Tita felt in love to Pedro, all the time. The history is emotional,romantic dram, there are fiction, it has a litter sad, there are humorous, the girl has many dificulties,but the final the girl find her true love. This history is instructive for the families about his sons or her daughters in this traditional families of today. But the most instructive history for mathers that forced her doughters to her own impulses or family tradition.

Rating: 3 stars

Summary: Romantic and tragedy
Review: That story is a very interesting for me because Laura Esquivel make mix between the fact and the fiction .For me was a good combination and I like it.I learned too about the tradition and the kitchen's secret,some are fact and the other was fiction;Mama Elena was important in this book because I understood about the valuable are the tradition but that situation sometimes are very terrible for anybody, maybe is better that tradition changed for a better life. I think the love is very important but too is difficult and some people suffred for many years.I like this book because is different for me and I though about my own tradition in my house. I like because Tita and Pedro will stayd together for ever and their love was very strong and big,and the love will important for everything.
