aezar 's review for:

La Muerte de Artemio Cruz by Carlos Fuentes
3.0
dark emotional reflective slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

There is something to appreciate about the style of the narrative, I definitely like that part, the scatteredness of the thoughts and the memories, and I absolutely loved the moments in which the author delved into some sort of body horror with the descriptions of how it feels to be dying from the main characters perspective

The good part being said, I just couldn't get into it myself, there was nothing that made me get into following the main character or the vague snippets of the story happening in the background, so yeah, it was good, just not for me
