4.0

No one writes like Gabriel García Marquez. It's so easy to get swept away in his beautiful prose. This novella balances the mystery, magical realism, and magnetic characters so indicative of his longer works. So, if you're looking for an entry point into his work, Chronicle may be a good starting place before diving into his longer novels.
