Title: If you enjoyed Like Water For Chocolate, avoid this book
Product review: I loved Like Water For Chocolate and was excited to find that Laura Esquivel had written another book. The synopsis inside the book jacket sounded very interesting to me. However, after the first chapter of this book, I was put off by the disjointed plot.The author employs much the same style as in her first attempt, but the book disintegrates into a disjointed science fiction story filled with violent images.I took this book out of the library (thank goodness I didn't waste good money on buying a copy) and thus did not hear the CD that came with it to complete the multimedia assault; I may have missed an integral part of the experience, but I doubt it. The drawings included in the book were pointless, in my opinion.I finished this book only for pride. I applaud Ms. Esquivel's efforts to produce a wide variety of works, but this book was just bad.
