Book Review

Walking Stars by Victor Villasenor is basically a book filled with wonderful, incredible stories -more so- miracles that the Mr. Villasenor has witnessed. Imagine this, horses that climb walls to get back to their home, huge serpents, dogs going "crazy loco", and much more. This autobiography is flooded with the unbelievable. Not just from some fairy-tale, but unbelievable things that have really happened n the real modernized world that we have come to know.

I've always loved reading fantasy novels. They help me to stray from the pressures and boring, and sometimes traumatizing real world. But after reading Walking Stars, I've realized that magic isn't only in books. As hard as it can be to believe, the real world has magic. According to Victor Villasenor, "if only we had the eyes to see life, la vida, in all its wonder and magic". This book is a true page-turner. With each sentence I bacame more and more sucked into it, until I found myself reading at the dinner table! I guarantee that once you read this inspirational, breath-taking, extraordinary novel, you will start to see the true magic and wonder of life.

Quetion #1

What are your thoughts when Victor Villasenor explains "We're all walking stars, each and every one of us that have come down from the heavens"? Do you believe there to be some symbolism in there, or do you literally believe this?

Question #2

Why is it that in our modern world, most people have ceased to believe the incredible?
