Verstörend, mysogyn, abstoßend und gleichzeitig genial.
El título prometía más de lo que supo entregar la obra. Bastante decepcionante.
Si la forma de narrar de Márquez no fuera tan agradable y fluida se me habría hecho intragable

Escribo esta reseña varios meses después de haber finalizado la lectura, y lo hago solo porque veo que no escribí una.
El comienzo del libro es extraño, te deja un mal sabor de boca y una sensación de asco en el cuerpo y la mente, pero conforme vamos avanzando con la historia, una vez que entendemos los simbolismos de la obra, nos damos cuenta de la hermosa y a la vez inquietante historia que Gabo preparó esta vez para nosotros

Gabriel Garcia Marquez was a literary genius, he has left us the legacy of magical realism genre. One must be able look past what it can be considered problematic, and truly appreciate his lyrical prose and enchanting storytelling.

My first re-read of Gabriel Garcia Marquez and my first book of his for a few years and within the first paragraphs I realise why I love his books so much.
He has wonderful poetic prose that I find I cannot consume quickly enough, I just have to gorge myself on more, more more words and paragraphs.
A recent reading of Yasunari Kawabata’s The House of Sleeping Beauties inspired me to read this again because I am led to believe it to be the inspiration for this book, and a passage is mentioned before the title page. Having recently read it I didn’t enjoy it so I wanted to give this another read to refresh my thoughts and feelings having remembered that I enjoyed it very much.
My feelings for both books is night and day, I found this captured the beauty of love at its purest form, although the subject matter can be looked on as a bit creepy or not very normal it was presented in the most sincere and sweet way. To know love and keep it pure, the book to me is love in its purest form and the way the prose is put down is a beauty to read and take in.
I am glad that I decided to read this now and rekindle in myself my affection for the writing of one of the Worlds greatest writers Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
I would rate it 4.5/5 but with the Goodreads rating you can't do half star. So rounded down as opposed to up.
