MYSTICAL, HUMOUROUS, AND EXCELLENT!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Bendiceme Ultima (Bless Me, Ultima) (Spanish Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)
ANAYA MYSTIFIES THE READER WITH HIS TALENT, AND KEEPS HIM ENTERTAINED AS WELL. I RECOMMEND ANYONE THAT HAS A LIBRARY TO HAVE THIS BOOK IN THEIR COLLECTION BECAUSE IT IS A CLASSIC. THIS TEXT IS BY FAR ONE OF THE BEST CHICANO WRITINGS OF ALL TIMES BECAUSE IT TELLS OF HOW CURANDERISMO AND RELIGION ARE INTERTWINED INTO ONE UNDERSTANDING. IT GIVES THE CHICANO READER ADDED KNOWLEDGE IN UNDERSTANDING THE BELIEFS OF OUR PARENTS OR GRANDPARENTS THAT HAVE BEEN LOST OVER THE YEARS OF ASSIMILATION.

This review is from: Bendiceme Ultima (Bless Me, Ultima) (Spanish Edition) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is a genre in itself, it offers an image of the mexican american culture otherwise unknown by most non Mexican's. It gave me more insight into what my culture is about, and allowed me to see the mysticism and spiritualism through my culture.
