Magical. I don't know why I haven't read anymore of Garcia-Marquez's books. Must do something about that.

From a literary point of view this is an excellent book. Sometimes it was tough for me to get through. I am usually a fast reader but I found that I had to slow down to to absorb the atmosphere of the book. It is not my usual type of book, but I'm glad I read it.
I will be mailing it to "pgsahm" at the end of the week.

Journal Entry 8 by Cray17 from Hillsborough, New Jersey USA on Sunday, August 24, 2003

This was a beautifully written story - almost a love triangle. Honestly, I wasn't sure how I felt about Dr. Juvenal Urbino or the book for the first 15 or 20 pages. But I stayed with it and I fell in love with the love story of the young dreamer, Florentino Ariza and his true love Fermina Daza. I found the love story of Dr. Urbino and his wife, Fermina Daza equally compelling. I will move the book on to the next reader in the ring.

Journal Entry 10 by mjm from Draper, Utah USA on Tuesday, December 09, 2003

Not my favorite, but I'm learning that Marquez has a strange affect on me. I read 100 Years of Solitude and kept wondering when I would actually begin piecing together everything that was going on. This book wasn't difficult, just a little dragging at times. I found his poetic writing enchanting, but I also thought that I would go crazy if I had to read one more page about the tragic life of Florentino...poor guy. I'm really glad I read the book though!

Mailing out to squirrel818 today...12/11/03.

Journal Entry 16 by midwinter from Tucson, Arizona USA on Saturday, April 10, 2004

Came in yesterday's mail. Thanks so much for sharing Zmrzlina!! Will try to read soon. 

Journal Entry 17 by midwinter from Tucson, Arizona USA on Wednesday, August 08, 2007

I''m usually a fast reader, but this took me almost 4 months to slog through. I love the flowery prose and overall literary style, but wow, that was a lot of detail! This is the kind of book best digested on a lazy vacation in the tropics, and not during an extremely busy summer in the City :)
I''m glad to have read it, but I think I''m too cynical to be terribly moved by the story.
Should be traveling again soon!
