menomica's review against another edition

Mira, pienso terminar el libro algún día, pero ahorita no es el momento. Es muy denso y me di cuenta a me quitaba la alegría de leer, lo cual me decepciona porque soy muy fan de Gabriel García Marquez.

I have no idea how to put into words how I feel about this book. I forced my way to the end hating most of my time spent reading it but yet by the end I found myself completely enamored.
