Borderline perfect story structure and progression. Garcia Marquez has been hit of miss for me; definitely a slap.

Gostei da premissa do livro desde a sinopse, e ao ler a sua primeira frase, a minha curiosidade aumentou ainda mais. Já havia lido outros livros do Gabo, e esse com toda certeza foi um dos que eu mais consegui me conectar, tanto com a história quanto com os personagens. Além de ser bem curtinho, a história é bastante envolvente e nos passa a sensação de estar acompanhando uma novela cheia de reviravoltas e vários núcleos. Esse com certeza é um livro que recomendo para quem quer começar a ler as obras desse autor, mas não quer começar pelos seus livros mais consagrados e longos.
