smadams 's review for:
Chronicle of a Death Foretold
by Gabriel García Márquez
4.5 stars. This was like reading a true crime podcast. Fascinating, sure to leave you with some unanswered questions. For a book that reveals the victim and the murderers very early on, it does a great job keeping the reader interested. Besides, look no further than the quote below to see how amazing the prose is:
"She only took the time necessary to say the name. She looked for it in the shadows, she found it at first sight among the many, many easily confused names from this world and the other, and she nailed it to the wall with her well-aimed dart, like a butterfly with no will whose sentence has always been written.
'Santiago Nasar,' she said."
