banananaylor 's review for:

Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez
2.0

Ugh! The writing in this book was so beautiful- I loved the language he used and the way the plot unfolded- but the main character was so skeezy! The author tried to pass off the progatonist's deviant sexual behavior not only as acceptable but beautiful/true love/natural (i.e. adultery, rape, aaand statutory rape w/ a teenager!! yah). So 5 stars for writing, but zero for content. Ick.
