The Death of Artemio Cruz by Carlos Fuentes
5.0
dark emotional mysterious reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

It swept me away. I absolutely loved it. 
It was at times a bit of a struggle to read. Things are confusing. It took me some time to get through it. But I enjoyed it so much. The third person narratives where we go back to specific episodes in Cruz's life, were the best bits. 
I loved how I was being flung into each episode, how immersed I got into the characters and their situation. Each episode was so condensed, but so rich.
