Like Water for Chocolate Audiobook

" I read this because I was looking for "Mexican" fiction to read in Mexico. Magic realism is always entertaining, food that affects emotions and even poisons people because of how the cook feels as she prepares it. Intriguing. Like Allende, Esquivel brushes up against politics, but really tells the story of a family, intertwined with love and food. "

" Only in Spanish...the translation to English is terrible! "

" I'm sure this deserves more than one star, but it won't be getting it from me. I just couldn't get into the style of writing, so before the first chapter was finished, I was finished! "

" Read along time ago, but I remember I loved it "

" a beautiful book and a mystical experience "

" One of my all-time favorite books! "

" I read this in four days which is a big deal for a slow reader. "

" Beautiful yet heartbreaking book about food, love and family. The movie was wonderful, too. "

" Absolutely horrid. Reading this for class and I just can't get through it. The characters aren't interesting, the "plot" isn't interesting, nothing about this book is interesting. "

" I found this book very interesting and the format was intriguing but I also found it sad and disturbing. "

" No lo habia checkeado. Excelente libro, pero mi "vulgar" para mi gusto. "

" Must read!' Very detailed and the powerful love story is one you won't forget. "

" i though it was an interesting tale but it wasnt what i hoped for. "

" Me encanta!! Para leerlo varias veces :) "

" A fantastic example of magical realism in literature, and a moving, fun-to-read book. "

" Food and love...how can you go wrong! "

" The element of fantasy and love in this story is fun. It also offers insight into the beliefs and traditions of the Mexican culture. Definitely worth a read, you'll be rooting for the heroine. "

" I saw the movie years ago and picked up the book because I remembered loving the story. I was not disappointed. Wonderful story, beautiful images and a quick, satisfying read. "

" Magical realism - while I enjoy this type of novel, they are a challenge for me. I like my novels to be a little more straight forward but after I read a magical realism novel twice and discuss it with someone, I usually decide that I liked it more than I originally thought. "

" Warning! Kind of sexual in parts. Excellent story line but I wish it had been edited for t.v. "

" A very beautiful story. Twas fun reading it with all the recipes and home remedies attached to the story. "

" I could tell this book's flavor was lost in the translation. It was a fast read, but a little too fast. It jumped from sentence to sentence in an uncomfortably short choppy way. "

" Then end of the book got a little confusing because it went out of sequence (the rest of the book kind of went in chronological order, so it got a little confusing trying to keep up) Other than that, it was a good fiction book and hilarious at times! "

" Omg I loved this book and the story it had was really good. "

" one of my fav books "

" One of the few romance novels I would highly recommend. Set in Mexico in the 1800's. Written in a beautiful prose that is easy to understand. It uses magical imagery of love and food that is different from any book I've read. "

" Good read. Like the setting and period. "

" REad this because my Henry was having trouble getting it as a class assignment. I does not get more chck lit than this. More evidence that English teachers hate boys. "

" very sensual and engaging read "

" A bit sad but I did like it. Want to reread it. "

" I liked it, all except for the crazy parts, and that I read it for school. "

" Interesting turns and funny explanations. Easy read. "
