Like Water For Chocolate

In class we read a novel by Laura Esquivel called Like Water for Chocolate.  This book was a very interesting but different book at the same time.  The novel I believe has a lot to do with me on a personal level along with all people.  I say that because the novel is about family and thats something we all have.  Its also about the cookbook of the families and how it was found and the story is being told along with the recipes at the same time, and we all have cookbooks, whether they are passed down through the family or a Rachel Ray cookbook.  Though my family is nothing like Titas because I feel Tita's family is dysfunctional in many ways which I dont believe mine is,  they are dysfunctional for example how the sisters don't get along very well like most sisters growing up but these sisters don't get along in a different way and its so interesting to read, it keeps you turning the pages.   I found the text to be very interesting,  It was an easy read because there were so many crazy things going on all at once.  The book is definitely all magical realism and it keeps you into it!  This book was very entertaining and I believe everyone should read it! I look forward to watching the movie!
