Rating:  Summary: Like water for chocolate Review: I think that this book was one of the funniest books that I have read. If you like fantasy this is the book for you, it has a lot of magical realism in it. This book was written on a monthly base instead of chapters and each month has a different Mexican dish that goes with what the main character Tita is making for her family. I really enjoyed this book and I hope that everyone that reads it enjoys it also.

Rating:  Summary: LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE Review: This book is very detailed and intense that caught my eye from the moment I read the first chapter. Basically its about Tita-the youngest daughter of three. Who by family tradition is forced to take care of her mother (mama Elena) until she has die, and forget her true love (Pedro). Pedro then marries Tita's oldest sister (Rosaura) so that he can be next to Tita. The only thing that keeps her strong is her talent. She was born with the talent for cooking. Which is one of the reasons why every chapter starts off with a recipe. She based all her emotions in her cooking. The one thing I disliked about this novel would have to be how it goes on and on about the recipes. I like how every chapter starts off with a recipe, but maybe if it was a little shorter I would read the whole thing through. Most of the time I would just read the first sentences and then just skip to the rest of the chapter. Another thing I disliked would be the Rosaura, she plays the character of Tita's sister. She's so greedy, she knows that Tita loves pedro and still she decides to marry him. Not even thinking how her sister feels. The character that made me want to keep reading this book and that caught my eye was Tita. Despite her family tradition and knowing that she would probably never marry, she still remained strong. Also when she wasn't taking of her mom she would spend most of the time in the kitchen. She devoted herself to the kitchen. She struggled a lot with her mom but it all turned out for the best at the end. Its kind of like a happily ever after story.
Rating:  Summary: A Great Hispanic event Review: The book I read was called Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquival. This book tells a story of Tita De La Garza. Tita is the youngest daughter in her family. She struggles to pursue her true love and seek indipendence to get away from her mom. Tita's love, Pedro Muzquiz, comes to ask for her hand in marriage. Tita is forbidden to marry according to her mother's tradition. Pedro goes of to marry Tita's older sister Rosaura to be close to Tita. This is a great book because this book gives you a brief look on how hispanic culture is and the struggles hispanic siblings with tradition.
Rating:  Summary: Like Water for Chocolate, a captivating story Review: Like Water for Chocolate is a novel full of romance and magical realism. The way the author combined the recipes with the story line is truly fascinating, it gives the novel a different writing style that readers hardly ever get to read. I would recommend this book for anyone who loves to read stories that keep your attention to the last page and stories that make you stop and think about what you have just read.
Rating:  Summary: Like water for chocolate Review: The book Like Water For Chocolate was an excellent tale full of romance and an extreme amount of Mexican cooking. Tita the main character of the story was a mexican girl who was the youngest of three daughters and when your the youngest you have the responsibility of taking care of your mother until she passes. Tita was not aloud to get married or have and type of love relattionship like that. She was raised in the kitchen and when she cooked all of her emotions were poured into the meal. The story has some racey spots in it were Tita and Pedro secretly share their love for one another, which was outrageously wrong because Pedro is married to Rosaura Titas sister. This book was full of magic realism which holds your attention when reading it. I really enjoyed this book and I recomend that people read it. It shows you the different culture that these people had, the way they handled different situations and how they lived. It was an excellent book!!!
Rating:  Summary: Like Water for Chocolate, a great book Review: This book is a very excellent book. It is one of the best books I have ever read. It has a lot of magical realism so if that is what you like, and you have a good imagination you will love this book. This is also a love story so it is a girly book. Sorry boys, unless you like lovey-dovey stories this book isn't for you. This book has a lot of sexual content, and it describes it in every detail. so it is more of an adult book. All in all, i thought this was a wonderful book, and i recommend it to anyone with a real imagination.
Rating:  Summary: Mataus' english Review: Like Water for Chocolate is a book more suited for a women. When i read this book it talked a lot about cooking, not one of my main interests, and also about the way there culture was where they lived. In the book there was also a lot of romance, and wierd situations like a daughter not being able to marry so the sister marries the man instead, so the two can still be close. This book wouldn't be a book i were to read for pleasure but it is a good book if you were to study it in a class. If you like cooking and romance you will enjoy this book, but if these aren't your favorite two subjects then you will probably not like this book at all.
Rating:  Summary: For Mrs. Mataus English Class Review: I believe that the book like water for chocolate was a great magical realism, romance, and cookbook all in one. It was interesting through out the book. I believe that it teaches you little life lessons like relationships, being responsible and being true to yourself. I also believe that the book was well written. I would defiantly take the time to read this book again.
