this movie be a good example of how to ruin a book in 109 minute . except for the name of the character the movie bear very little resemblance to the book . a book full of strong latino character and they be represent and for the most part and by non latino . there be no character development in the movie and we have no reason to love or hate the character . and to delete a complete generation be inexcusable . isabel allende have write a powerful book and the book be what should be read .
