I enjoyed this book. It did take me time to read it, and there were parts that I had to re-read because of the timeline jumping, but I liked the imagery and storyline. Out of all of the notes I made inside the book, this particular statement in the back summed it all up for me. As the New York Review of Books once said, “[Gabriel Garcia Marquez] forces upon us at every page the wonder and extravagance of life.” Which I agree with.
