This book was recommended to me, and I must say I was leary of it from the recommendation. Found it in a thrift store and thought, I'll try it on a rainy day. SURPRISE! This is a creatively written story that will keep your mind charged and challenged. Marquez captures the heart of his story in his colorful characters and some surrealism thrown about here and there. Wonderful.

This book stretched my brain and left me wondering if I really got it at all.

This particular isbn book is an English translation by Gregory Rabassa.

"You emerge from this marvelous novel as if from a dream, the mind on fire. . . With a single bound, Gabriel Garcia Marquez leaps onto the stage with Gunter Grass and Vladimir Nabakov. Dazzling."- John Leonard, The New York Times
