cassieannalee 's review for:

Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez
2.0

I loved A Hundred Years of Solitude. And I love the easy slide into magical realism and how Gabriel García Márquez uses asides to slip in and out of the main narrative without it feeling like an annoying detour.

But the way this book talks about sex and females--the old man who has sex with his child ward for years before he casts her off, the woman who was raped and enjoyed it so much she told everyone she would only be happy with her rapist, etc-ruined everything else for me.
