A review by rokinjaguar
The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor by Gabriel García Márquez
adventurous
reflective
tense
slow-paced
4.5
Not my usual thing, but very well done! There was a bit at the end I found interesting that I wouldn’t have minded there being more of, but I think it was well done how it was :)
Update: After some time has passed I’ve found the story has had a greater impact on me than I originally thought it did. I take it back, I’m glad the ending was done exactly how it was and have raised the rating from 4 to 4.5. There are still parts I found dry and boring to get through, but now I see why it was like that, and I have a respect for what this story accomplishes.
