I found it a bit long winded and I must say I was quite disappointed. While I enjoyed the writing style and the words that the author chooses are beautiful, the story was LONG. I have to say, the last 150 pages were excellent and in the end, I was glad that I read it. But the middle 100 pages or so were hard to get through.

I love Garcia Marquez but this book was a disappointment. At least there wasn't a lot of cholera. The writing was beautiful but the love story left me cold, bored, and then horrified.
