Title: A View on Family and Love, Provocative but Empty
Review: I had to put my two cents in. "Like Water For Chocolate" is an intersting take on a small town Mexican family. The mysterious happenings that occur to Tita (the main character) are the best parts, from her magic food and strange attachment to her sister-in-laws children. However, the book lacks feeling and surprise. The plot is predicatable, as are the characters. Another downfall is the deaths of the characters who need to be eliminated. This happens when it is needed most- an unrealistic convience. A book worth looking into if you're one for predictable Mexican soap-operas.
