Helpful Score: 3
Well, not what I'd hoped for. Marquez is a good storyteller, and his characters are quirky - but difficult to develop any sympathy/feeling for. So much rests on the translation, so I could be experiencing some "lost-in-the" effects here, but I found the style not particularly memorable/clever. Don't get me wrong - certainly it's a good read, but not a GREAT one. As far as a "love story" - Time Traveler's Wife wins hands-down. Sorry, Oprah, I won't recommend this one to MY book club...
