Book Description:
"EXQUISITELY HARROWING . . . . Very strange and brilliantly conceived. . . . A sort of metaphysical murder mystery. . . . The murder will stand among the innumerable murders of modern literature as one of the best and most powerfully rendered."
A mysterious and haunting tale of romance and murder, that begins with the marriage of a man and a woman in love. But when he inexplicably mistreats his beloved on the night of the wedding, he is in turn murdered by her brothers, and we are left with a strange sense of inevitability and passions gone terribly awry.

I had to read this for a first-term English class. Though I didn't like it, I see why many people do. Marquez's narrative style in this story is quite unique, and I appreciated the idea of having everyone else tell a story without that omniscient narrator or a first-person narrative to explain exactly what happened to Santiago Nasar.
If you like Garcia Marquez, you'll love this book! Great, short little read!
This book is so beautifully written, which you would expect from Marquez, but the story is also very compelling and touching. Easy to read in a weekend.
