Chronicle of a Death Foretold by Gabriel García Márquez
3.0

I'm not sure how I feel about this one.  I don't know if it's the writing (this is my first Gabriel Garcia Marquez) or the translation but something was off to me.  Something was just not clicking, I don't think it's a bad book I just didn't get it.  I also found the use of every character's full name whenever they are mentioned to be strange - it made the sentences feel overwritten/unnecessarily full.
