Review # 1 was written on 2012-07-20 00:00:00 Seung Ho Shin This is now one of my top reads of all time (my sister says its the Latina in me that loves magic realism, but it goes beyond that). A masterful blend of time, space, and instruction on how to break personal and socially inherited karma. Part graphic novel, musical score, and head trip. It requires the reader surrender their imagination to a plot that is woven through a narrative that attempts to express a holistic way of viewing and communicating the past, present, and future as they exist in every moment. I'm still reeling

Review # 2 was written on 2011-06-13 00:00:00 Ram James This book was amazing! Ms. Esquivel did an amazing job of blending science fiction, humor, Buddhism, & Catholicism into a beautiful story that quite simply is a call to mankind to come together in love. This is a book that I must own so that I can re-read it throughout my life. ;-) Here are three of my favorite quotes from the book: "Most people are constantly forming opinions...This creates an insurmountable barrier and we find ourselves dominated by intolerance. As soon as we meet a person, we immediately set out our opinions before him to see how he reacts; if he shares them, we accept him. If not, we try to tear down his opinions in order to impose our own, convinced that the other person is bad because he thinks differently from us. We become narrow-minded inquisitors who in the name of truth put to death anybody whose ideas do not coincide with our own." (pgs 176-177) "No social organization will ever be able to find the one road that's good for everybody, because Azucena's everyday problems - like those of the rest of humanity - are the result of errors that were left unresolved in the past. Each case is unique...but it's not by changing the social order that one's problems are resolved. It's by changing ourselves. When that happens, society is automatically modified." (pg 204) "Teo commented that it was precisely the smoldering resentment generated by such relationships that had given rise to revolutions throughout history. At any given moment, the outcasts, the forgotten, the mistreated banded together against the powerful. The sad part was that once the downtrodden had triumphed and replaced those in power, their only thought was revenge and they ended up being no better than the ones they'd unseated..." (pg 239)
