Book Review: "Like Water for Chocolate"
Summary: 5 Stars
Jennifer Reynolds"Like Water for Chocolate"
This story is interesting and great to read on spare time. It in some ways explained reality and other ways fantasy. It describes how sometimes family traditions, have a rebellious one who refuses to follow it. In "Like Water for Chocolate", Tita is the rebellious one. The reason that she is rebellious because, she wants to marry her love and the tradition is that the youngest daughter never marries, but cares for her mother. Mama Elena does everything in her power to change Tita's rebellious attitude. Sometimes this power over Tita worked and other times it didn't work at all.
This book describes how falling in lore can be blind and make you do crazy things. Gertriudis was in love with a rebel, well the leader of the rebels and she runs off with him. Just like Mama Elena did in the past, but came back shortly. After Tita knew how it felt to be in love, so she lied on Gertrudis's behalf. Gertrudis didn't return for a long time after.
Tita and Pedro share a love like fire. There love is so powerful that it couldn't keep them from each other. Tita did everything she could to get near Pedro, as Pedro did towards her. They found themselves sneaking behind Tita's families back. They also found themselves locking lips and other such crazy things, behind Mama Elena and Rosaura. Their love grew and stayed, it never faded. John Brown's love for Tita kept him in competition with Pedro. John was no match for Pedro through. Pedro was Tita's first love and only real love.
I feel that I can relate to this book in ways. I mostly relate to Tita. I snuck behind my family's back to date guys that I really liked. The reason being is my family Is really strict. We have no family tradition like Tita's, which is the difference between us. I have gone through a few similar experiences and I guess that's why I really enjoyed reading this book. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to read a good book.
