Crónica de una muerte anunciada by Gabriel García Márquez

4.0

dark mysterious tense fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This book is such a wild ride. I found it hard to relate to the characters as I didn't find any of them massively likeable (except maybe Ángela), and I found it especially hard to sympathize at all with

Santiago

. That may have been the point however, in which case it is extremely clever to switch around the norm of feeling bad for the victim of the murder, as we discover that he is not a good person.
