4,5/5 of zoiets

Hele fijne magische en warme sfeer, vergelijkbaar met de magical realism van 100 years of solitude, maar dan iets minder absurd, waardoor deze een stuk lekkerder leest. Zeer flawed karakters waar niemand een voorbeeld aan zou moeten nemen, maar door het hele boek heen wel alle kanten van het spectrum van liefde gezien. Ook genoten van alle Easter eggs die How I met you mother gegooid blijkt te hebben over Love in the time of cholera, al was ik daardoor niet zo verrast door het einde van dit boek. Ik ben wel himym's einde wat meer gaan waarderen daardoor. Dat is ook best cool. Het had altijd zo moeten zijn, I guess...

A 4.5 that I am rounding up. It has some really beautiful moments, and no one writes sentences like Garcia Marquez.

Also took a lot longer to read than I was planning on, but that’s okay.

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Although frustrating and repetitive and without a point(very descriptive) at first, it lures you in like the slow dewy Carribean summers, and keeps sinking you deeper and deeper into emotional turmoil and characters’ attempts to deal with life until they finally let you go, having resolved their quests.
