Amazing story, amazing writer. Fall in love with the characters and the magic in this book. If you read Roots and loved it, you will surely love this book as well. Trials and tribulations of the mexican american family, and a great love story make this a great read.
 
5 Star Rating  "THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ"2008-02-20
- Reviewed By taralynriveroll
I am Mexican American, and this book was reccommended to me by an Irish friend. I felt like I was reading my own history about my own family. Yes, there are scenes of violence and illegal acts, but that is not what makes any of us proud to be Mexican American. The faith in God and in family is what makes us proud of our heritage, and this book shares that while using the sour times in life to show just how sweet the sweet can be. I cried, laughed, and felt every emotion in between. I didn't want to stop reading, and I wish the book kept going. I am now inspired to find the stories of my family, and I am prouder than ever to be of Mexican heritage. I understand my family better, and I love my grandparents even more for what they went through. Thank you, Mr. Villasenor, for sharing this story with us.
 
5 Star Rating  "Excellent novel"2007-11-01
- Reviewed By User: A1SIAO4VCLEPQA
This book was fascinating to me. It is a great depiction of historical events that I had not really known about regarding the Mexican people. It is very sad to see what an idyllic, beautiful and simple life these people had only to have it shattered by the revolution. Their beautiful and simple existence became a fight for life and a future of being treated like dirt by soldiers in their own country and by the U.S. when they tried to go someplace else. The author did a great job with imagery and emotion. I couldn't put this book down.
 
5 Star Rating  "Best book I have read in a while"2007-08-24
- Reviewed By tatfamily
"Rain of Gold" was an absolutely brilliant novel! Once you start reading, you will stay up many nights to finish this book. The way Villasenor depicts every-day life, from the religious to the illegal aspects, is just amazing. Before I picked up this book, I did not know what I would be getting into. At first I thought that the idea of reading about a family that just immigrated from a war-torn Mexico into the United States would be dull. The book depicts what a movie or television could never depict; it expresses every thought and feeling of the main character, and the drama fails to disappoint. You will be filled with emotions along every chapter. READ THIS BOOK!
 
4 Star Rating  "engrossing"2007-07-11
- Reviewed By jen_omeara
For such a thick book, Rain of Gold moves amazingly fast. The characters are likeable, mostly, and the book presents the story of Mexico, Mexican families, and being a US immigrant from Mexico early in this century. I haven't had a chance to read many books that share this particular story, and this one was refreshing.

The author is proud of his family, and it shows. Rain of Gold fell short of making me cry or reconsider how I live, but it was thought-provoking. It's worth a read.
 
5 Star Rating  "Wonderful"2007-06-27
- Reviewed By vintagecatra
This book has been my favorite book for over ten years, since I read it in high school. The writing is so easy to read, yet rich and complex at the same time. Villasenor brings to life every member of his family so that the reader feels like a member as well. He also excels at making the extraordinary seem possible.
 
5 Star Rating  "This is a Masterpiece"2007-03-26
- Reviewed By phame
I read this book at least five years ago and at the time I thought it was one of the best books I ever read. I still do. I wrote a review of it then but somehow it has disappeared. Why did I love this book? First of all it is beautifully written, the language is lyrical, almost spellbinding. The images are stunning, almost hypnotic. And the characters are memorable. This book celebrates the extraordinary and irrepressible power of life at one's humblest level, gratitude in one's darkest hour, and forgiveness as the very heart of love.

5 Star Rating  "True account of the author's grandparents during the Mexican Revolutionary War."2007-03-09
- Reviewed By User: A14PRF1HIB2Z88
This book has over 500 pages but from page 1, I couldn't put it down. Villasenor is an impressive writer who pulls a reader into the story immediately! You will come out attached to one or another of his eccentric, heroic female relatives and she will be unforgetable. It is the first of a trilogy. The amazaing fact is that the author was an undiagnosed dyslexic until age 45. I couldn't rest until I read the other two, which were a lot shorter but equally interesting. Victor Villasenor reveals the daily nitty gritty of that war that will never be in history books. These facts and anecdotes were preserved in the family's oral tradition. He is also a man with integrity, having returned a $75,000 advance to a large publisher who insisted on marketing the book as fiction
when it was fact. His website gives more details and synopses. You will be amazed at this wonderful book!
