The time-line is cyclical and eternal, as a doctor and his descendants are condemned to enter into an ever-consuming battle with a mysterious plague in three separate moments in history: colonial Mexico, contemporary California, and the next century in a newly emerged country. Power relationships and the social fabric of three settings are intricately detailed by Morales in his fashioning of a history which at the same time is seen through lenses of the magic and supernatural. The magical realists of Latin America have their Chicano inheritor and his name is Alejandro Morales.

Rag Doll Plagues
Students across our nation are taught about the dark history of the Spanish conquest and the colonization of Mexico. The Rag Doll Plagues by Alejandro Morales describes in great detail the horrific plague that killed thousands of people in Mexico during the seventeenth century. The attitude of the main character Gregorio Revueltas is transformed as he spends more time with the people who's bodies are being consumed by the horrific side effects of the deadly plague overtaking the city. The more time that Gregorio Revueltas spends in the plagued city provides him clarification that race and color have no limitations on the plagues power and choice of victims. His time in the city result in the drastic transformation of his character's perception of himself and the people he is saving. I think students would really enjoy this book because of the main characters transformation of perception. Also, the authors writing is very descriptive, which many students look for in their novels. Overall, this is a book I would recommend for high school students.

Rag Doll Plagues
This story was really interesting and I'm not entirely sure what to make of it yet; my rating is subject to change once we discuss it more in-depth in class.
However, Book 2 really stood out to me. I absolutely loved the poeticism of the writing in that chunk and the content/storyline. Book 3 was the least interesting to me, though, so it kind of went downhill. Unfortunate.
Overall, not bad. It was super easy to read, and I flew through it. I'm curious to see how my professor and peers are going to incorporate it into the class's theme because it wasn't like anything we've ever read before, and the subject matter is not connecting with me as easily as others. We shall see.
