-Chicago Sunday Sun-Times "A rollicking read, with jokes and suspense and joy rides and hearts breaking . . . This smart, passionate novel deserves a wide audience."
-Los Angeles Times "What drives the novel is its chorus of characters, all, in their own way, witnesses and guardian angels. In the end, Castillo's unmistakable voice-earthy, impassioned, weaving a 'hybrid vocabulary for a hybrid people'-is the book's greatest revelation."
-Time Out New York "A wonderful novel . . . Castillo's most important accomplishment in The Guardians is to give a unique literary voice to questions about what makes up a 'family.' "
-El Paso Times "A moving book that is both intimate and epic in its narrative."
-Oscar Hijuelos, author of The Mambo Kings Play Songs of Love
