almond 's review for:
Chronicle of a Death Foretold
by Gabriel García Márquez
dark
slow-paced
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
I finished this book, but I found it too boring and repetitive to enjoy. It was one of those where I kept waiting for it to make sense, but it never really did. If it had been a longer book, I would have just given up on it. I didn't like any of the characters, nor did I appreciate the gruesome description of the murder. Plus, I was expecting magical realism, and this definitely wasn't it. I get that the author is trying to say something, but it didn't land for me.
