Title: Disappointing
Product review: I loved *Like Water for Chocolate,* so I eagerly awaited the releaseof this novel by Esquivel. I was extremely disappointed bythe novel. I had hard time believing that the same woman whowrote the brilliant *Like Water for Chocolate* also wrote*The Law of Love.* The narrative seemed overly self-conscious,even hollow in spots. The blend of future technology withcurrent day remnants seemed corny. I found myself skippingover the new-age/psycho-babble stuff. I had a difficult timerelating to the characters. In the end I felt like the novelwas a good concept, but not a good book. The multimedia additionsdidn't make up for the mediocre story and plot.
