I recommend that everyone read the book first prior to watching the movie. The book is much more detailed and you will miss a lot of the meaning of scenes without the background knowledge. The book is a quick read and it helps if you have a little knowledge of the Mexican culture....even if you don't it will make you want to learn. This book and movie are great even interesting for students in Chicano studies to learn more about their past and understand how certain beliefs came to be.

I was introduced to the book during the 70's at NMSU, in Las Cruces Nm, in a Southwest Literature class and carried it through 27 years of teaching in NM. With using the movie as a Grand finale of the culture of Northern NM. The product was of good quality and shipment and packaging was done well.
