Bless Me, Ultima

I’m too sexy for my shirt I’m too sexy for your tiny butt I’m too sexy for your lousy 80s disco party I’m so sexy it hurts

This book left me speechless. I have never been into reading books, so I was reluctant to read this, but this book blew me away. I felt like I was actually there next to Antonio throughout his journey. The story floored me and I was brought to tears at the end. I’ve never cried from reading a book before. It’s amazing how well it was written and it connected with me in so many ways. This book has changed my outlook on life and I will be sure to read more books just like this from now on. Bravo Rudolfo Anaya, this was by far the best book I’ve ever read.

A great story with the real magic in its world. The boy character was awesome, and Ultima was a pure spiritual to the family. I love it. Easy reading, and fills with the meaning of life.

Well over 12 years ago when I was in Community College, I was assigned to read this book for a college level reading preparatory class. I kept putting it off about the book report/essay i was supposed to write for this book as a final assignment. When it was one week away for the report to be due, I finally started reading it on a Saturday morning. The first couple chapters draw you in, so by that Saturday evening, I felt I was halfway through the book. I was amazed at how fast I read through the book by the time Sunday evening came. I was kicking myself because I should've read the book sooner so I could've maybe read it at least twice to write a real good report/essay. Anyway, I turned in the report/essay and I was quite impressed with the feeling I had about the book. Definitely a life changer for me in the sense that, be careful about the path you choose in life, beware of the consequences! The book was very sad on some parts but overall great book. Now I am excited to see the movie!

Greatest Mexican cultural story I've ever read.

Intriguing story!
