nolanh 's review for:

The House of the Spirits by Isabel Allende
4.0

The thing is, Gabriel Garcia Marquez is tough competition. This is One Hundred Years of Solitude with worse writing and better politics, I am not likely the first to say, but the writing is in fact still brilliant. The story is spectacular, intergenerational family epics are maybe my favorite genre? and in the end I cannot hold the mimicry against Allende. A wonderful book
