becksus 's review for:

Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez

3.75

emotional reflective slow-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This was tough. I like the way it was written and the world with it's various characters, as it reminded me of One Hundred Years of Solitude (which I enjoyed). I even liked Fermina Daza to an extent. But God, I hate Florentino Ariza. What a creepy sad man (and a pedophile too!). I was not rooting for him to get "the girl", so it was a weird experience to read.
