dhcherine 's review for:
The General in His Labyrinth
by Gabriel García Márquez
Not the easiest book to get through- it was too depressing and tiring watching someone waste away. Thought the process was so long-drawn, till the general finally took his last breath. Suddenly it wasn't long-drawn anymore. Being unnecessarily lengthy was perhaps a huge strength of the story, that rightfully highlighted the state of a person wasting away- often times people waste away and die a slow, long death. On one hand you cant wait for the end to come, while on the other, you dread the end.
Surprisingly, I was almost close to tears right when the story ended. This is probably more of a long (fictional) recount rather than a story.
