One of the best love stories I've ever read.
The actions in this book will stick with me for too long.
He always know how to excite the reader and he always make the actions of the novel stick with me.
He is one of the most brilliant writers.
I understand so much about elder people,he described them and their feelings in an extremely unique way.

The ending lost a lot of pacing, and I lost interest after they finally got together, but I still think the rest of the novel was well-written. I loved the musings on age, and how centred the narrative was around bodies and how they change over time.

It won the Pulitzer... worth a shot :) Growing up, I was a ridiculous romantic. I've strayed from that- maybe this will help bring back my romanticism.
I'm somewhere between a 2 and 3 on this book. Without the magical realism I'd expect (given my limited experience of Marquez's work) the book's plot felt flat. But because of the excellent prose (even in translation), interesting character work, and some memorable episodes, I don't feel like I wasted my time with this novel.
